The Roundup featuring releases 21.12, 22.01, 22.02, and 22.03

Welcome to the first Roundup for 2022. We'll take a look back at some of the biggest improvements to Aconex from the last few months. In this issue we revisit releases 21.12, 22.01, 22.02 and 22.03, and highlight some features you may have missed.

Find flexible metadata fields on Documents

  • Project Admins, now you can mix and match document fieldsproject fields and project field hierarchies to make a custom metadata flow that's easiest for you.
  • Simply, drag and drop fields to the correct positions. No more clicking arrows to move each field into place.
  • Then preview the fields in place without having to navigate to the document upload area.

New Mail rules to keep you in control

  • Project admins can enable stricter distribution rules.
  • When enabled, recipients can't be added (or removed) when sending Mail.
  • This ensures that those mail types will always go to the right people.
  • Supported on web, mobile, and the Outlook plugin.

Lots of updates making Field easier, faster, and more powerful

  • Keep powerful evidence with more file types. Add videos, sound files, more images, and even doc files, to Daily Reports.
  • Then, to make it easy, only keep Daily reports for the days you need them.
  • Inspections are easier, too. Assign an inspector and set a due date as you choose the template.

More new standard reports, giving you insights faster

  • Mail reports to track responses and help you chase late Mail.
  • Document reports to record transmittals and workflows and see the history.
  • Task reports by user, letting you know who to follow up with to be on track.
