Import

  • Fixes:
    • To help with the issue resulting from Prism Default Floor labeling and custom labeling coming out of BE Classic we have elected to remove the “Floors” Column from the Properties Import in Prism

Inspections

  • New:
    • Multiple Tasks vs Single Task on Inspection Schedules - Make it an option, when creating Equipment type inspections and Space type inspections, as to whether 1 task should be created per inspection or if multiple should be created per asset/space for that inspection. Right now, spaces always fire into a single task and multiple tasks for equipment. We should let the user decide whether to treat them separately or as one when building out the inspection schedule. (Video Here)
    • Files on Inspections – Users will be able to upload files to overall Inspection Tasks, much like you can do to PM Tasks. There are many Cities, States, and Countries that mandate copies of Inspections in their formatting as well as digital copy like what can be taken from Prism. By allowing the uploading of Files to Inspections we are creating an easy to access, one stop shop of both versions of the inspection. (Video Here)

    • Unable to Create On Demand Inspection with Custom Due Date

My Companies

  • Fixes:
    • Users when entering custom fields on tenant companies, were being redirected to the Properties tab on the tenant company page upon saving new entry on custom fields. This has been resolved and users will no longer be redirected when saving each individual custom field. 

My Equipment

    • The Spaces Served Column on the My Equipment grid view was not populating data.

    • After creating 50 Compliance profiles any additional profiles do not save to the company they were set to

My Properties

    • Viewing Property Contacts was limited to a one page view despite having more than 1 page of Property Contacts i.e. 50+

My Users

  • Fixes:
    • Multi PMO – When Deactivated users were being reactivated they were not being correctly associated with their original PMO in the Multi-PMO account 
    • When creatin New Teams under My Teams. Users were receiving a Network Error when attempting link teams, in mass, to a large number of Properties.

Just as you can create PM Schedules to associate with the entirety of an Asset Type directly in Prism, you will now be able to do the same through a PM Schedule Import. (Video Here)
  • Fixes:
    • When adding additional properties to existing PM Procedures, the existing property count reduces despite more properties being added.
