Enhancements
Jobs list
The Jobs list custom views have been enhanced. The current base Job attributes are extended with additional columns to provide further financial perspectives to jobs in terms of ‘Job Margins Analysis’ and ‘Job Performance’. Where there are sub-jobs then the parent job values present an aggregate to the parent job level. The new fields are also available in the ‘Data Dump’ view for export.

SMS Enhancements
Enhanced SMS functionality now supports company name flexibility, allowing clients to configure the SMS sender name using the SMS Company control parameter. This enables SMS messages to display the desired company name. This enhancement is available for Australian clients only. New Zealand mobile networks do not currently support custom SMS sender names.
Forms - Options- Datasets - wbControlParameters - SMS Company
SMS capabilities have also been expanded with the addition of new placeholders for Equipment and Owner fields within Job-related SMS messages. This improves communication clarity for field teams and reduces the need to manually add this information to individual SMS messages.

Equipment Punches Report (Merged PDF Output)
Added a new Equipment Punches reporting enhancement that allows multiple punch items to be exported into a single merged PDF document. Previously, punch items generated individual PDFs, requiring manual consolidation.
This enhancement streamlines reporting by automatically compiling selected Open punch items into one document.
