In this release, you can now:

  • Support Multiple Types of JSAs
  • Take Photos with 0.5x Zoom Out and Tap to Focus
  • Improved Experience for Long Forms
  • Navigation Updates on Mobile App

Support Multiple Types of JSAs

Utilize multiple types of JSAs for different divisions or scope of work to streamline a field team's hazard and safety analysis. For example, a JSA can be created for elevated work, non-elevated work, maintenance teams, JSAs en español, etc., and used simultaneously. 

Previously, only one type of JSA was supported with a Non-Elevated and Elevated toggle.
