    Site/group-based access for assetReleased

    1. So asset. Where do I start? Still very rough around the edges. But a glitch that needs ironing out quickly is as follows as it will create issues IMO going forward. Let assume I have 2000 assets. And also 20 sites. Of which some of these are linked to groups and teams. So i go to the Asset Tab. I create and choose to start an inspection for that asset. Now my issues is that the assets for the site/group should only be visible in order that a simple process with less choice and chance for error is done. However what currently happens if i am correct is that a user of site A Goes to Asset Tab.They are then presented by ALL the assets for the org? This feels totally wrong.We are trying to reduce information and collate and control access to information surely by having site and the access features etc for the sites and groups. This should be imo asset are only visible for the person looking who is a member of the site or group. They then simply complete and hey ho simples. This is a key feature that is missing I THINK. ========================================================================= 2. Assets So going to asset tab and starting an inspection works. However although we can link templates etc to assets the templates themselves again IMO have another gap. At the moment the response set for assets can only be chosen in the Title field of a template as a choice from the response set. I get that as in a way the title area is an index related part of the templates. However for all of us now that have been using SC for some time surely for flexibility it would have been a great thing to have the response set available throughout the template. Then when we are in a section or already in used templates we can add the asset as a response in the template - the persons completing inspection chooses (based on their site and group profiles) and then this is collated in the records against that asset. Any feedback or solutions more than appreciated.

    Microsoft Certification for Power BI Connector to enable auto-refresh via enterprise gatewayOpen

    The safety culture Power BI connector is not certified by Microsoft for use with cloud based auto-refresh via enterprise gateways. Please can this be fixed. The PBI connector is a fantastically functional, accessible and extremely convenient method of connecting to SafetyCulture data, and it is very restrictive that it is not able to be used for auto-refresh!!

    Improve Template FoldersUnder consideration

    When Template folders was rolled out, I was very underwhelmed. It has created much more work for me and confusion for others. The feature is half-baked in my opinion. It takes up a lot of real estate because each folder is full width. It would be better to have them laid out in a thumbnail grid style so more can be displayed across the page width. When you search for templates, it’s good that it displays results across folders. However, because there is no option to display the folder name in the grid of results, you don’t know which ones are in a folder, not in a folder, or in different folders. This makes it impossible to discover which ones need to be assigned to a folder or are not all assigned to the same folder. For the former, yes, we can look at the listing with no search keyword, but then we have to filter through all the templates not assigned to a folder, page by page. Templates not assigned to a folder yet should be in an automatic folder called “Unassigned” which perhaps has a special icon because it’s a built-in folder. This would clean up the template listing. There should be a template listing view toggle to display them in folders or not in folders. Some people have a hard time finding things when organized in folders or need to manage their templates in bulk which is best done outside of folders. You can’t do this with searching if there are various template names. Users outside of Admins do not have the ability to assign their templates to folders. This should be a permission we can add to permission sets. Without this, as an Admin, I am left with the responsibility of organizing them myself. This is not a task I want to add to my job, and it’s hard to keep up with an ever-growing library of 700+ templates. Folders are still not on mobile. I thought this was the next promised feature for folders long ago. The default sorting on the mobile app is by template modified date which has little value to the people that do inspections. If they know they are looking for a housekeeping template, it would be much quicker to tap a housekeeping folder, then pick the one they need vs. typing keywords. Inspections are still not sorted in folders. Having folders on the template is only half-baked. It would be logical that you would also want your inspections automatically sorted by the folders the associated templates are assigned to. This should be a view toggle - table style without folders (current view) or folders first, then table when you open the folder.

    Approval workflows based on scoreOpen

    Hi there, I was wondering if it would be possible to add an approval workflow based on the overall score of the inspection. For example, if the score is deemed low it only requires sign off from a team lead, but if the score is high it requires sign off from the Safety Manager. Is this possible? Cheers!

    Which GRS (Global Response Set) for which template(s)?Open

    Hi all, With time, we create more and more GRS. As for templates. But deleting old GRS is more tricky in a sense because you don’t know the impact. Because you don’t know which one of them are still used in templates. In the same way you check on a user which devices are linked, it would be great to do the same by clicking on a GRS, you see the templates related to it. Cheers!

    Near-Field Communication TagsOpen

    Could NFC scanning be added alongside QR codes, we currently use QR codes for security patrols and other inspections and NFC offers a significant improvement in efficiency, reliability, and security. The current QR system requires staff to scan QR codes at specific locations or on equipment to verify their presence, using a 32-digit hexadecimal identifier for security. However, this approach has several limitations. QR codes can be challenging to scan in low-light conditions, such as during night patrols, and they are prone to damage from environmental factors like dirt, moisture, or wear and tear. Additionally, the visible nature of QR codes exposes them to potential duplication or tampering, and the scanning process requires precise alignment, which can be time-consuming. By replacing QR codes with NFC chips, these challenges can be addressed effectively. NFC chips allow staff to log their presence by simply tapping a device near the chip, eliminating the need for visibility or alignment. This makes the system ideal for low-light environments, as NFC functionality works seamlessly in darkness. NFC chips are also more durable, being encased in protective materials that resist damage from environmental factors, thereby reducing maintenance and replacement costs over time. Furthermore, the security of the system could be further enhanced by transitioning from a 32-digit hexadecimal identifier to 128-bit or 256-bit encryption, making it significantly harder to duplicate or tamper with the chips. Unlike QR codes, encrypted NFC chips do not display their data visibly, and the logic for displaying context-specific questions can be hidden within the software backend, further improving security and operational confidentiality. While we currently start our inspection patrols by tapping a QR code to launch a template, some of our inspection contain 30 - 40 check points each with a QR code and our biggest employee frustration is scanning the Codes.

    Support formatting on calculationsNew

    It’s frustrating that we can’t perform simple formatting on calculations, such as displaying units or restricting the number of decimal places. The above comment is a full description of what I’d like to see changed, but I thought that it might be interesting to hear the use case that prompted it. We have a data collection form (inspection) where we apply some in-form validation checks. This will be something like “sum of answers A, B, C must be less than or equal to D”. We then apply logic where if D-(A+B+C) <0, then display information (question) indicating that the user has entered the data incorrectly. From a presentation perspective, we don’t actually care to display the value - just whether it’s a pass or fail. The ideal option would be that a calculation supported conditional logic and different output data types (e.g. if x=y then “Pass”, else “Fail”). This could be complicated for SafetyCulture to program, so a simpler alternative would just be to make the resulting number less obtrusive; e.g. set the text colour to white; make it so the value isn’t ridiculously long compared to other numbers (1.3333333333 when everything around it is two decimal places); etc.

    Expiring credentialsNew

    While I realise the holder of a credential can enable notifications when a credential is expiring soon, it would be good if administrators could also get notifications for the same. It would save having to manual go into the list of credentials and selecting those that show expiring soon.

    Heads Up - Auto remindersOpen

    It would be fantastic to have auto reminders for Heads up - and the ability to choose frequency like every 2 days or 14 days depending on the urgency level of the notice.

    Filter for Practical Assessment User ListsNew

    Currently, within Training → Facilitate → Practical Assessments, deactivated employees still appear in the user lists attached to practical assessments. This seems counterintuitive, as those conducting assessments should focus only on active employees. There is of course value and necessity in retaining assessment records of deactivated employees for record-keeping or reinstatement purposes, however. My suggestion is to add filters to this list—ideally mirroring those available under the ‘Users’ function—with the default set to display only ‘Active’ users. This would improve navigation, reduce confusion about user statuses, and streamline the assessment process. Thank you!

    Global Responce Sets see the templatesOpen

    Please see which templates are using a particular global response set. We have had a few cases where one of the following happened Someone used a global response set in a new template, and then the owner/creator changed the list because they needed to update it for their templates, and it no longer worked in the new templates The owner/creator added a response to a global response set that did not make sense for all the templates they were using it in We had a request to change a global response set, and we are not sure if we can because we don’t know what forms use it

    restricting the companies in the reportOpen

    I would need a way of restricting the companies in the report (same as I can do with sites) In my case my colleagues from different countries go to check building sites from different contractors.So, I need to restrict the companies in the same way as the sites, otherwise all the companies are visible for the different colleagues.

    Extended logic and dependenciesOpen

    I’d love to see logic extend past a specific entry in a template. What I mean by that is that currently, if I have a multi-select, I can then have two branches of logic (or more) that stem from that multi-select on the basis of what is chosen… ...but what I can’t do is have another question further down in the flow of the torm that is dependent upon the answers in that box - the logic and its subsequent questions always have to be contiguous with the question the logic is applied to. This could be done with either a kind of dependency or an if / else statement somewhere in the form.

    Logic based on site/assetOpen

    It would be great if a “logic” could be based on choice of asset / site. For example, if you have some assets that have similar, but slightly differents inspection needs, it would be great to have a logic like “if Eiffel Tower” was chosen, then these following questions out of the whole template will be asked, but if “Taj Mahal” is chosen, then another set of questions will be displayed. This would mean not having to done several separate templates for assets which to a large degree are similar, but with slight variations!

    Default answers for inspections, actions, and moreUnder consideration

    To make filling in some our inspections quicker is it possible to mark an answer as the default or preferred answer which is pre-selected as the choice? We would still need the option to be able to select any other answer E.g. Q1 - Sample question please select “No”. A1 = Yes A2 = No (Default) A3 = N/A

    Text editingNew

    Is it possible to revamp the Custom Labels for text answer etc in the templates area. Currently it is plain text. Is there a ay that when doing this on the web browser that it can be the same as this text editor which allows better freedom to add text etc in a different way. Bullets, bold and so on...

    AssetsNew

    ​@Duncan Heuer @Duncan. With regards to the Assets improvements. The servicing I was looking at was important in a few areas as it addresses the date requirement either for testing or servicing and once set (unless changed) per asset category it is absolute. Therefore, there are triggers required to be added when added asset types. These are then used throughout the life cycle of the asset. Once in place this gives full transparency and the control required for an asset. The triggers that are date / frequency related should also imo be applied to other areas of assets. An example being what I have explained before with regards to the Asset Type having its own colour code. RED (High) AMBER (Med) GREEN (Low) This could be based on the complexity, risk or aspects the asset can have it was to fail, leaving the company vulnerable to loss in some way shape or form. Monetary Time Incident Environmental Delays The 2 are linked with date addition for serving / inspections and the colour coding (traffic light system) for asset types. The above creates controls. Give transparency Highlight gaps / threats Promotes preventative measures including maintenance At the moment with assets, SC has improved this with additional things added that mostly relate from what I have seen to vehicular or similar assets. In manufacturing and construction industries there are many smaller asset including mobile plant and machinery / equipment that requires other evaluations, calibration, servicing, legal examinations (TeXT) etc. These account in our fleet to 95% plus and are active and used all the items hence the drive and ambition to get the visualisation and triggers as explained. It is important that the asset process is also interlinked to the other areas of SC. We have this with our templates linked to the assets so we can understand what has / is inspected and is it within a duration we have set. Has mentioned earlier when service dates, dropdown options etc are added then we will have the ability to link… Gaps Training Heads Up Credentials Users Inspections Issues Etc to assets. Hope this makes sense.

    Numeric keypadOpen

    Would it be possible to add and force a numeric keypad on number response fields when completing inspections on mobile? Considering only numbers can be entered, it makes a lot of sense. It would make numeric data entry a lot smoother. I have included screenshots below of current numeric field keyboard and examples of how Excel, Numbers and JotForm do it. Current iOS Excel iOS Numbers JotForm Cheers

    GPS location added to the [Inspection Title]New

    I figured out, that it is possible to add any sort of objects to the [InspectionTitle] in the editor-tool. Simple answers like a Mulitple Choice answer of Yes & No could be added into it, the document number, whatever. Unfortunately, you cannot add the GPS location onto the [InspectionTitle], which is in our pov a nice little feature,as you can refer directly to the location where the inspection have been done.

    Incident area planned for release in 2025New

    As a company we currently log these and have the ability to facilitate AFRs based on person hours v incidents. Although we use issues for near misses and hazards, we do not use this for Incidents. Would like to be included on the group for this if possible. So incidents lead to investigations and procedures amended and people trained that is link to retained risk and litigation and insurances. My query relates specifically to data crunching. We currently use another system for every single contractor that may enter site. They register onto this system within a contract company and we can gather and communicate information. There fore we have the stats that link to person hours and incidents to give us our accreditation requirement for incident stats. Will this be available in the beta feature for incidents. How will SC include all individuals involved on a project which then encompasses total safety communication and collaboration? Af a season Safety Leader and professional I am always looking for simpler more effective solutions and want to challenge SC technical and Design to have this as a potential time line on the Incidents system. If someone can reach out to discuss further then I will be more than happy.👍

    Reactions and Comments in Heads Up (toggle feature)New

    Some of our Heads Ups are pretty old (maybe no longer relevant or superseded) but I like to have them in there for historical purposes. While going through them all, I recently noticed that I have to click on the ellipsis and select the option to disable both Comments and Reactions separately, and then click on a dialog box to confirm each one, which seems to be a little more time-consuming than it needs to be. I think it would be much better to have an On-Off toggle feature present for both Comments and Reactions on each Heads Up, on the Manage Heads Up page. This would allow someone to simply turn on or off these features without the extra steps or mouse clicks. I can see this being valuable for someone who had to edit, (say) tens or even hundreds of these Heads Ups at the same time. Just wanted to throw this out there as a possible suggestion for improvement….

    Using issues to instigate a heads up.New

    It would be of benefit when raising an issue (hazard) that it could be forwarded by heads up the the site group. This would mean it could be acknowledged providing an accountable trail to confirm the information has been passed on. An email notification can easily just be ignored which defeats the object of raising the issue.
