Version 1.8 Released

It’s getting close to Christmas, and here at SimplBuild we’re pushing to get a number of changes out before the new year. Version 1.8 has been released today and will be 2nd last release of the year. It includes a couple of highly requested features.

There will be one more minor release before Christmas, which will expand the functionality around using multiple ABNs.

  • Multiple ABNs and Business Units
    You can now set up multiple ABNs under the Business settings under the Admin pages. When creating projects, an option to choose a different business unit and ABN is available. Any SWMS created under the project will show the chosen Business Unit and ABN.
    Additional functionality particularly useful for PCBUs to choose their ABN when creating a SWMS will be released prior to Christmas.

  • PCs can resend invitations to workers
    Currently only PCBUs can resend invitations to their workers. PC’s with access to the SWMS can also resend the invitation.
    This is useful in the case where a worker has turned up to site but hasn’t reviewed the SWMS.

  • Lookup/Search improvements
    Improvements in the search capability when looking up names throughout the platform.

  • Removed “Business Settings” button from the menu for users who don’t have access to the business settings.

Bug Fixes

  • Required By Date validation changes
    When a SWMS was updated, the “required by date” would show an error if the date had expired forcing you to move the required by date to a future date.
    The Required by date will now only throw an error if the date is earlier than the day the SWMS was created.

  • Fixed validation issues when adding secondary subcontractors to a SWMS

  • Fixed an issue where attachments wouldn’t load when a PCBU sends a SWMS for approval to a PC that does not have a login to the system
