Clearly naming a document makes all the difference when searching for it, or it’s contents, down the track. Did you know that you can easily edit document names in Octfolio?

Let’s say you have a document called but need to load another site plan against the same asset and would like to make life easier for anyone viewing the documents to know the contents.

The asset-specific documents sit under the for that asset:

Find the document you wish to rename and move your mouse to the right under the to display the icons. Click on the :

We LOVE feedback at Octfolio and we love it more when we get to release some of your “wish list” items. This week we’ve increased the to include and , allowing you to see all future re-audits.

The filter will retain your last selection so, if you are someone who wants to have a long term view, you can set and forget at 5 years.

The left hand menu will still flag the number of re-audits coming up in a months time for now, but we’ve got plans in the wings to make that menu item and the dashboard icon dynamic to show you re-audits for the period that works best for !

Those of you who have the enabled, will be pleased to find we have added some further property filters to the mix. You can now also display and export the following properties:

While we are on the , the selection on the left hand side has been taking it’s sweet time to load the data. Like "cup of tea and a Tim Tam" time. This is now much faster to load.

As you may be aware, there are multiple places you can view photos taken during an audit or survey in the Client Portal. Places such as the landing pages, asbestos registers, viewing the record details and the photos tab.

After a re-audit or clearance it might look like photos have done a “disappearing act” but rest assured they are still there.

The will only show photos from the for an audit.

If you find there are no photos on the photos tab follow these steps to check if there were photos taken in a previous version:

They will, of course, also show in the register created at that time.

It’s a short and sweet update this week as our diligent programming team are working on some infrastructure and data capture improvements. This will result in faster page and report loads and more stability between the Inspector App and Client Portals. Overall we are aiming to improve the overall experience in key areas of the platform thanks to some much welcomed feedback from you.

We are also working on enhancing our reporting tool currently in closed beta (let us know if you’d like to test it early!). We are close to putting in some more data and filter properties enabling even more of your data to be configured and exported into helpful reports. Thanks Rebecca for providing us with some great insight into how your data is used at a management level. Stay tuned as we polish it up - robust reporting is just around the corner.

→ Strongly presumed asbestos

→ Presumed no asbestos

→ Presumed asbestos

→ No suspect material

A sample result will no longer be required, allowing you to progress.

With all these long weekends, the weeks are flying by here at Octfolio. I’ve nearly eaten my Easter chocolate hoard.

This week the team have had some strategy meetings to ensure we are keeping the balls in the air and prioritising the features you’ve asked for.

Keep giving us your feedback so we can continue to hear what you need the most!

There has been a bit of confusion on some aspects of the over the last few months which we are trying to alleviate and “land” a clearer result for you and your users.

For our long-term clients, who had data imported from the previous platform, we’ve added a note to help easily identify if a record was imported from migrated data. In these cases the isn’t necessarily the approved date - now that will be more obvious.

Some of you may also have had issues with no longer seeing hyperlinks on your landing pages when trying to move up a level. We understand it also caused confusion as to which level you were on (Site or Building). This was only happening where Sites and Buildings had the same asset code and it will now show above the lower asset.

Last but not least, Admins can now choose to show the message on landing pages ... or not.

We realise it’s been a minute since you’ve heard from us. Well, our Release Notes are back!!

Between juggling the chaos of Christmas, Covid and career moves (as you have too no doubt) we’re happy to once again report we have some new team members!

Meet Jordan Havard (Full-stack Engineer) and me, Natalie Firth (Customer Success + Support).

We’re trained up and as you had already seen, we’ve jumped right in to continue supporting you and improving Octfolio.

For those of you who love a good map, we’ve continued to improve how (and where) assets are displayed.

Firstly, when assets are clustered we display the risk rating for the highest-rated asset within the cluster. If there’s one high-risk asset clustered with 20 low-risk assets, we surface that high-risk asset first to minimise the risk of it being overlooked. We’ve resolved an issue that was placing assets with ‘no data’ (i.e no audit) above high-risk assets. Even if some assets haven’t been audited, they’ll still display - just not above a high-risk asset!

Next up, we fixed a bug that caused some assets to appear as though they were floating in the Pacific Ocean after zooming out. (Perhaps they were getting sick of lock downs and decided to take a trip!) They’re all back.

Speaking of zooming, when multiple assets shared the exact same coordinates, only one pin was visible, in effect hiding all the others. Now, they separate so you’re able to individually select each asset.

The asset pop ups have also had a makeover and now include Lat and Long coordinates (for all modules).

Finally, whilst it’s nice to explore local cafés and libraries, these points of interest cluttered the map, making it harder to find your own asset pins - they’ve been removed. But you can still use Google maps if you are looking for a café between audits ☕.

There are times an may need updating numerous times throughout the course of a large project, with multiple COAs and minor adjustments for instance. With that in mind, it’s not always practical to increase the version of the Register by whole numbers.

Now, you can decide whether or not to (e.g Version 1.1) (e.g Version 2).

Please log a support request if you wish to utilise this for your organisation and the team can turn it on immediately.

How is everyone?

Are you getting enough rest? Drinking plenty of water? Getting your vegetables, here and there?

It's been a tough period for lots of folks out there with lockdowns, travel restrictions and of course, Covid itself. So we wanted to take this opportunity to say, we hope you're doing well.

Be kind to yourself, be kind to others.
