Product updates - Autumn
Usability and flexibility enhancements
Based on our active conversations with AEC professionals on real world challenges we are constantly refining DocuPing to help you successfully manage the demands of a wide variety of construction projects.
Our latest round of feature improvements is extensive. They are all designed to make it easier to quickly understand the latest project position and more tools for managing project issues efficiently and safely.
Third Parties no longer required to create an account
The system can now automatically create special links that allow recipients of document issues to jump straight into the issue summary page and download individual or a zip of the entire document set without having to create an account or login.
This functionality works by using special link addresses, which the system generates automatically when sending an issue – each recipient of the issue gets a unique link address and this is used to ensure viewing history is maintained.
This capability is controlled by the “Use Identifying Links” setting for the organisation’s account.
Excel Export further improvements
The formatting of the Excel output document has been significantly improved, and now includes formatting of fonts, better default column widths an issue reason key, and hyperlinks to allow you to drill back into the relevant DocuPing pages.
Changes to Organisation Settings Screen
The Edit organisation dialog contains two new items.
The first is the ability to specify a default project numbering scheme. If the user fails to specify a numbering scheme during project creation the Organisation default will be used. This change also applies to calls to the API.
The second is the “Use Identifying Links” checkbox. Selecting this will cause out bound issues to be available to 3rd parties without creating an Account.
Improved Register Page
The detailed register screen has been further improved, and now uses more screen real estate for both the document and recipient listing grids.
Drop Down Filtering
Previously dropdowns that allowed filtering were sensitive to the character case of the search terms. Now searches are case agnostic.
Issue History Improvement
The view of a previous issue record has been improved to include the message sent during the issue process.
This has also been included on the PDF downloadable version.
It is quick and easy to start using DocuPing for secure, safe and organised document issues.
With a monthly rate based on the number of users including unlimited device access, unlimited Projects, and unlimited document issues.
