Features
Lists
Data Share performance improvements
- Reduced the amount of time required to process a full load of data. Also added an option to send data to multiple destinations.
System
Web Menu Changes
- The main menu and the application sub-menus on the Web Portal have been rearranged to emphasize Jolt’s robust reporting capabilities and frequently used applications. These changes are in beta now but will be rolling out over the next few months.
The main changes are:
  • Applications are arranged according to access frequency. For example, Scheduling is accessed more frequently than labeling templates, so it will appear near the top.
  • Reporting is placed at the top of each application sub-menu followed by the “Your” section, (e.g., Your Work Orders) and the Manage section where you edit templates, etc.
Fixes
  • Score doesn’t print for items using answer option set

  • Stability and performance enhancements
Features
Lists
Behavior change for N/A on sublists
- When you mark a sublist item N/A (the parent item, not a child sublist item), the app will no longer override completed child sublist items to N/A. They will now be left with the result and completion status they had before the parent item was marked N/A. The child sublist items can still be manually overridden to N/A if needed.
Fixes
  • Formula items with dates can produce unexpected results
  • ThermaPen IR probe can’t connect on some Android devices
Highlights
  • Color change on Time & Temp report
Features
Lists
Report updates
- We upgraded the version of the AG Grid library we are using in
Lists
reports to take advantage of new technical features. You may see a few subtle changes in the UI but all features should still work the same.
Time & Temperature
Color change on Summary report
- We changed the color of the successful process count in the bar chart to green to make it more intuitive since red is failed. The blue bars now represent the expected number of processes.

Labels
Frequently printed labels -
Device and user specific so it will only track most frequently printed items per device and by the user. If nobody is logged in, it will track all labels that have been printed on that device without a user logged to determine the most frequently printed items.
image-25
Label Search Show Category
  • When searching for labels, the search results are now segmented by category to provide additional context.
  • Especially useful when there are labels with the same name or similar names.
image-26
Editing Products and Custom Product at Print time
- On the label details screen in the web portal, if a label admin selects Allow editing product information at print time, then users on the mobile app will be able to customize the product data at print time.
image-27
image-28
Item Weight Validation
- Label admins can now set a minimum or maximum weight on the weight item settings in the Label template. The units for the max and min will be the same as the Input Unit.
image-29
  • On the mobile app, if the criteria is not met, then printing will be disabled and the user will see a message about the validation error.
  • Standard Printing Error Message UI
image-30
  • Auto printing error message UI

    any
    product data

Label Screen Timeout
- After 5 minutes of inactivity the screen will be reset to the Labeling Home Screen when inside the Labels module on the mobile app. Often times on shared devices, one user will search and do a print job and then leave the screen with that search up or that print preview up if using the scale and auto printing. The screen reset makes it so that the next person to use the device doesn’t need to:
  • Exit the print preview
  • Clear the search
  • Orient themselves to find the correct category
image-33
Print Jobs Unpause printer
- Sending a print job when the printer is paused will unpause the printer so that the print job can go through without the user needing to unpause the printer.

  • Input units on weight items
    - input fields and measurement UI now always match the unit that the user has selected for the measurement UI

  • BETA - Printer Settings Label Profiles
    - allow you to create “templates” for your printer settings to avoid having to manually set things like label size, speed, darkness, gap vs. black mark, etc. This makes managing printer settings at scale easier and allows two printers to be set to the same size but still route print jobs correctly based on different profiles for different templates.

Photo item improvements for Android

Navigation
New icons for Work Orders and Time & Temp
- The
Work Orders
and
Time & Temp
modules now have their own icon on the app menu. This will make navigation between them easier for users who have multiple

modules. Tapping on the
Lists
module now takes you to
All Lists
like it used to. Tapping on the
Work Orders
module takes. you to
Open Work Orders

Work Orders
Persistent filters on Home screen
- If you change the work order filters on the
Home Screen
, they will now remain in place until you change them again. Your selection will persist when you close the app or change locations. The filter selection will be saved for each user.
Offline mode for work orders
- The app will now make work orders when the device is offline. The benefit to this is that you can work without Internet service and when you create a work order it will be automatically selected for you on the app. When the device gets back online, the app will sync and a work order number will be assigned.
Text search on Work orders
- A new search icon has been added to the Work Orders screen that lets you search for work orders using a text string. The search looks for the string in any of the following places:
  • Work order summary
  • Work order number
  • Person item result
  • Multiple choice item result
  • Free/short entry item result
  • Number item result
Stopwatch item available on Work Orders
- You can now put a
Stopwatch
item on a work order template. This could be used to track technician time during repairs. The stopwatch item for work orders behaves the same way it does on Lists when using the app.
On the
Work Orders
web page, an active stopwatch will display “Timer running” in the grid. You can end the stopwatch from the
Web Portal
by clicking into the cell and entering a time. Time should be entered as decimals, eg., 1 hour and 15 minutes should be entered as 1.25 and it will display in hours and minutes.
