We released a significant upgrade to LOUIS Assets and to LOUIS Planner.

In LOUIS Assets we've added the Maintenance Library. Communities can now define preventative and corrective Maintenance Actions. Preventative actions can be added to the Maintenance Management Plan for individual assets. Corrective actions can be used to speed the creation of common tasks and simplifies the tracking of those tasks.

In LOUIS Planner we've updated the Site Visit Tasks to present data collection forms as a single form for each site visit. We've also added the ability to configure the mobile application to start recording features by taking a photo and to automatically capture the current location. These changes simplify form management and data collection for field staff.

We are happy to announce that our new mobile app, LOUIS Field, is now available to download and install on Google Play and the Apple App Store.

This app provides a nicer workflow and UI improvements over the previous mobile applications. To make first time configuration easier this app has the ability to enter your login credentials by scanning a QR Code from your LOUIS Toolkit profile page. To help office and field staff communicate more effectively this app will automatically notify field staff when they are assigned new Tasks in LOUIS Assets or new Site Visits in LOUIS Planner.

We are going to add more new features in the coming months, so keep your eye out for updates.
