Release Notes April 2021

New & Improved

This WorksOS release includes these new features and enhancements:

Dashboard

  • Use an enhanced, pre-configured Dashboard - The previous dashboard has now been enhanced with automatic inclusion of these default widgets that support common workflows for volume calculations: ○ Work Completed - Today

    • Work Completed - Yesterday

    • Work Completed - Current Week

    • Work Completed - Previous Week ○ Work Completed - Project Extents

    • Share Dashboards - In addition to adding, editing, reordering, and deleting dashboards, you can now also share a custom dashboard with other colleagues that have access to the same project. The ability to share dashboards (or receive ones shared with you) has these advantages:

      Only one person in your company needs to know howto set up a good dashboard.

      Your whole team can see the same Work Completed andWork Remaining data calculated using the same filters. Your staff has a consistent understanding of a project’s status.

      In addition, the Dashboard icon will be updated to better indicate its function:

      In the short-term, you will see both dashboard icons.

      Progress Volumes

      A preconfigured set of daily calculations and three new views now enable you to easily see the volumes of cut and fill materials moved on your job site on a day-over-day or basis. These progress volume features allow you to analyze earthmoving progress during any time period you specify and in any project area you choose. Use the Dashboard icon and new Progress Volumes icon on your left-hand navigation bar in WorksOS to access:

    • Views for progress volumes - There are three new types of views of for progress volume data:

      • Graph view - A bar chart of cut and fill volumes broken down by day or totaled by week helps you see the trend of material volume movement in your project area. Each bar is separated into cut and fill colors representing the volumes moved. Hover over or click any bar chart for details on the exact cut and fill volumes for that day or week, as well as the cumulative volume for the project up to that time. The chart also includes a line graph of the cumulative volume over time for the date range you have selected. Scroll in/out in the view to see fewer or more days in the view.

      • Grid view - An even more detailed table of values sorted by date allows you to see the exact cut, fill, total, and cumulative values for every working day. You can also export this grid to an CSV file for greater data analysis and visualization in MicrosoftⓇ Excel.

      • Map view - A birdseye/plan view of your project geographically shows all the areas in which material has been cut or filled over the entire project time period. To see a smaller set of progress volume data, you can reduce the date range or spatial boundaries shown in the map view.
