🌟 New Features
🧭 First-Time User Experience – Guided Onboarding, Your Way
Say goodbye to forced walkthroughs! New users are now welcomed with a flexible onboarding experience that allows them to explore the platform at their own pace, guided by helpful tips when needed—without disrupting their first missions. More to come in future updates as well 😉
💻 Tablet Mode Activated
FMHero is now optimized for tablet devices! Enjoy a richer, more intuitive experience whether you’re reviewing data, navigating maps, or managing assets in the field.
🗺️ Satellite View: Precision Equipment Placement
Equipment Assets now appear on a satellite map of the Facility, placed with pinpoint accuracy. Techs can see exactly where equipment lives on the premises, saving time and increasing efficiency on large or complex job sites.
⚠️ LLR Compliance Enhancements
Equip yourself with tools to understand, track, and reset Leak Loss Rate (LLR) values:
- LLR Threshold Visibility – See the compliance threshold directly on the Equipment Asset record.
- LLR History Logs – View a full log of all events that impact an asset’s LLR, from charges to recoveries to inspections.
- Follow-Up Verification Toggle – When performing a Re-verification inspection, use the new toggle to declare the inspection as a qualified LLR reset event, ensuring clarity and regulatory alignment.
🏢 Managed Facility Custom Fields – Now Visible & Configurable
Custom fields tied to Managed Facilities are now displayed on the Facility details screen. With a Comany workspace, you can choose to display them publicly or keep them private, offering powerful flexibility for organizing site-specific data.
🔍 Suggested Facilities During Equipment Scan
When scanning equipment, FMHero now automatically searches for nearby Facilities in the background. If it detects one you’re likely at, you’ll be prompted to check for existing assets before proceeding—helping avoid duplicates and ensuring better data accuracy. Still need to scan? No problem, just continue seamlessly.
📅 FSO Screen Date Range Filter
You can now filter Field Service Orders by custom date ranges, making it faster than ever to locate and review historical jobs, inspections, and maintenance records.
📦 Organized Cylinder View Screen
We’ve cleaned up and streamlined the cylinder detail screen for better readability and usability. Your refrigerant data has never looked so sharp.
♻️ Scrapping for Refillable & Recovery Cylinders
The Scrapping feature is now available for refillable and recovery cylinders, not just disposables. Retire unusable cylinders responsibly and keep your inventory accurate.
🐞 Bug Fixes & Improvements
- ✅ Disposable Cylinder Rebatch Value Fix – Initial values now populate correctly when re-batching.
- ✅ Removed Redundant “Remaining Weight” Field – The Charge screen for disposables is now simpler and more accurate.
- ✅ Quality-of-Life Improvements – Various interface and performance enhancements rolled out across the platform to keep your heroics friction-free.
