Assign SAP Code Groups and Codes for Accurate Issue Categorization (iOS) Technicians and supervisors can now assign SAP-standard Code Groups and Codes while creating, updating, or viewing issues—even if catalog profiles haven’t been defined in SAP. For example, if a technician reports a pump vibration issue, they can select a relevant Code Group like “Mechanical Failure” and a Code like “Bearing Worn Out.” For more information, see Create an Issue. |
|
Streamline Issue Lifecycle with User Status Control (iOS & Android) Technicians can now view and update the User Status of issues from within the mobile app. Whether your statuses are sequential (e.g., “Open → In Progress → Closed”) or non-sequential (e.g., “Awaiting Parts” used at any stage), this enhancement helps maintain lifecycle control aligned with business rules. For more information, see Create an Issue. |
|
Quickly Duplicate and Report New Issues from Existing Ones (iOS & Android) Users can now create a new issue by duplicating an existing one. For instance, if a recurring valve leak needs to be reported again in a different location, the technician can reuse most details and just modify the location field. For more information, see Create an Issue from Existing One. |
|
Track Real-Time Issue Logs with In-App Log History (iOS & Android) Each action related to issues—such as creation, status change, or comments—is now captured in a real-time log visible during the user's session. For example, if a technician changes the priority of an issue, or if the system updates a field based on a rule, all of these changes are logged for transparency. For more information, see View Log History. |
|
Select Equipment & Functional Location Instantly During Issue Creation (iOS & Android) Tapping on the Equipment (EQ) or Functional Location (FL) field now brings up a searchable dropdown list, making it faster and easier to select the correct asset while creating an issue. For more information, see Create an Issue. |
|
Contextual Chat for Real-Time Collaboration (iOS & Android) Technicians an now chat with each other directly within a Work Order—keeping all conversations tied to the job context. For more information, see Home (Dashboard). |
|
On-Demand SAP Sync with Manual Sync Button (iOS & Android) Users can now manually trigger a sync with SAP from the mobile app home screen using the new Manual Sync button. For more information, see Home (Dashboard). |
|
View and Manage SharePoint Attachments Within iMaintenance (iOS & Android) Technicians can now view, add, annotate, and manage SharePoint attachments—such as PDFs, images, and documents—directly within the mobile app. For more information, see Add Attachments. |
New Features and Enhancements in Release 2504 (Beta)
|
Raise Issues Instantly When Exceptions Are Found in Forms (iOS, Android) Forms are no longer just for data entry—they now help you spot problems in real time. With this update, users can automatically trigger issue creation from within a form when critical values or responses fall outside expected limits. Whether it's a failed inspection reading or a non-compliant selection, the system flags it immediately and prompts the user to raise an issue—right then and there. For more information, see Create an Issue. |
|
Capture and Track Measurements Seamlessly During Execution (iOS, Android) Technicians can now capture and post measurement and counter readings directly while confirming work order operations—either individually or in bulk. This ensures critical data is recorded accurately at the point of task completion and fully integrated with SAP. For more information, see Execute a Work Order. |
|
View Measuring Points While Executing or Confirming Work Orders (iOS, Android) Technicians can now access all relevant measuring points—across operations, equipment, and functional locations—while executing individual tasks or confirming multiple operations in bulk. This enhancement brings full measurement visibility into the flow of work, helping ensure accuracy, compliance, and real-time access to critical data from SAP. For more information, see Execute a Work Order. |
|
Rectify Threshold-Exceeding Readings Before Submitting (iOS, Android) When capturing measurement readings, users now have the option to cancel the submission if the value exceeds configured thresholds—giving them the chance to review and correct entries before continuing. This prevents false issue reports and ensures accurate, trusted data is sent to SAP. For more information, see Execute a Work Order. |
