Field: Asset List update

Our latest much-anticipated modernisation to AroFlo Field is the Asset List.

Similar to our recent changes to the Compliance area, assets from all categories now display in the list, but you can narrow down your search using the Categories selector and/or the filter and search options.

Access the Asset List when viewing company or client assets, and also when adding assets to tasks.

Calendar: Old Calendar Becomes Read Only

Old Calendar to become READ ONLY as of Monday, 15 November 2021

Anyone still using the Old Calendar is encouraged to make the switch to the New Calendar that we launched last year, in preparation for the removal of the Old Calendar. The New Calendar gives you all the settings from the Old Calendar, plus:

  • Calendar views that you can save and share
  • Additional filters to quickly display just the info you need
  • An All-Day Events slot for industry RDOs, public holidays, and more
  • Shaded non-work hours to show people's normal working hours at a glance.

As of Monday, 15 November, events in the Old Calendar will become READ ONLY. This means that you will be able to view them, but not drag, drop, resize, select days/times, or save any settings.

You can now upload documents and photos to a custom field.

We've added a new custom field type for Tasks for uploading documents and photos. This allows you to create and name fields for uploading files.

Examples could be a custom field for 'Before Photo' and 'After Photo'. It could also be for 'Contract' or 'Specification Sheet'. Photos uploaded can then be displayed on task emails, print layouts and reports.

This feature is currently available on Tasks within AroFlo Office and Field if you have Document Storage enabled for your AroFlo subscription.
