The Roundup featuring releases 21.06, 21.07, and 21.08

Welcome to Issue 3 of our quarterly roundup, where we take a look back at some of the biggest improvements we've made to Aconex over the last few months. In this issue we revisit Releases 21.06, 21.07, and 21.08, and highlight some important features you may have missed.

Delivering a faster upload experience

  • Register multiple documents faster and easier than ever. 
  • Add Documents or Placeholders directly from search results.
  • We'll automatically detect when you're trying to update an existing document and mark it with an Update label.
  • Save time on manual entry and drop a spreadsheet directly from the upload screen to pre-fill metadata.

Boost your in-the-field efficiency 

 
  • Bring your pre-handover processes into Aconex with Punchlists. Group related issues together and capture, manage, share and track them from a single view.
  • Opt-in to the new Issues interface from the link in the navigation bar. All your favorite features are still available - with a much better look and feel – and now it’s even easier to filter records.
  • Sifting through Inspections is a thing of the past – if you know who created an inspection you want, you can find it using the creator’s name.
  • Capturing your site diary is easier than ever with new user roles for Daily Reports. Set multiple daily reports and add other project participants as contributors or observers.
  • Field Project Admins can now set up the area hierarchy for a project without getting us involved! It’s intuitive to do, even for bulk area uploads.
  • Note: These features currently aren't available on CA1 instance. Daily Reports are only available to one organization on a project.

The app that keeps you connected on the jobsite 

  • Markup on the move! Annotate, copy, paste, undo/redo, and delete markups from your device. Once you’re done, save to your device, update in the document register, or send as a mail attachment.
  • Improved visibility of issues on the go – your open and outstanding issues are easily accessible from your Tasks page. 
  • Keep that Inbox tidy! Delete drafts from your inbox or the mail thread, so you only see the most important items.
