iPermits Feature History

Manage Standalone Permits Without a Work Order

Manage the complete standalone permit lifecycle—from review and authorization through issue, execution, surrender, and closure—without linking the permit to a work order. Continue using applicable controls such as JHAs, isolations, atmospheric logs, attachments, readings, approvals, and extensions.

Use One-Time and Repeatable Permit Forms

Apply the configured form type during mobile execution. One-time forms allow a single submission, while repeatable forms support multiple independent entries, including offline use.

Tailor Permit Forms and Actions to Each Role

Show permit sections, fields, and actions according to each user’s responsibilities. Content can be editable, view-only, or hidden, and permitted actions remain consistent across web and mobile.

Use Permits for Work Orders Without Operations

Link a permit directly to a work order that has no operations, acknowledge the permit before work starts, and surrender it before the work order is completed.

Preserve Atmospheric Logs and Receive Due Alerts

Review atmospheric readings from web permit history, retain logs and permit checklists after operation closure, and receive alerts when readings are due, missed, or outside configured limits.

Receive Permit Expiry Alerts and Request Extensions

Receive an alert when a permit is nearing expiry, request an extension when permitted, and review expiry and extension activity later in permit history.

Get Context-Aware AI Autofill Suggestions

Use suggestions based on matching permit templates, equipment, operations, question intent, and response type. Confidence information helps users review each suggestion before accepting it.

Show Permit Plans and Maps Only When Needed

Display permit plans and maps on web and mobile only when they are part of the organization’s process, keeping permit screens focused on the tools required for the job.

See Operation Progress Before Selecting Work

View the current operation status in the work order list before selecting work for a permit on web or mobile.

Manage the Complete Permit-to-Work Lifecycle

Raise, review, authorize, issue, execute, surrender, and close permits through controlled role-based stages across web and mobile.

Integrate Job Hazard Analysis with Permit Approval

Create, assign, acknowledge, and approve JHAs before permit authorization so hazards and controls are reviewed before work begins.

Execute Permitted Work in the Field

Acknowledge permit conditions, validate PPE, add personnel, start or hold operations, complete work, and surrender permits from mobile.

Configure Permit, JHA, and Safety Form Templates

Build reusable templates with sections, response types, validations, conditional logic, localization, attachments, and configurable PDF output.

Monitor Permit Status and Compliance

Use dashboards, permit status views, expiry reports, role-based actions, and archived records to track active and completed work.

Connect Permits to Maintenance Work

Create permits for work orders and operations, combine multiple operations under one permit, consolidate permit types, and open permits using QR codes.
