Mobile App Release - v7.1.7

- Users with the supported scale can now capture precise food weights directly into the Jolt app measurement items using a Bluetooth-connected scale instead of manual entry, improving accuracy, speed, and auditability of food safety and production records.

In the Web Portal, planners configure each measurement item with a “Measurement type” (Temperature, Weight, or Other), associated input methods (including a “Weight Scale” option for Weight), and appropriate units; existing items are auto-migrated based on their current units.

In the mobile app, when an item is set to use a weight scale, a scale icon appears; tapping it connects to a nearby Bluetooth scale, shows live readings, waits for a stable non‑zero value, and then lets the user record that weight, which is rounded and formatted according to unit-specific display rules, with clear handling for connection errors, invalid readings, and optional manual keypad entry.

- This option lets companies run the Information Library in an online‑only mode so devices don’t permanently download files, reducing on‑device storage usage while keeping content accessible whenever there’s internet connectivity.

This is important because large libraries can quickly consume limited device storage, and this feature gives admins fine‑grained control—at company, content group, location, and device level—over whether files are stored offline or fetched on demand.

It works by introducing a cascading “Download files for offline use” setting in the Web Portal and a matching device‑level toggle in the mobile app. When this is turned off, devices stop downloading library content by default. Instead, devices fetch files from the cloud each time they’re opened, delete them when you navigate away, and provide tools like Clear Storage to remove any previously saved files while still allowing normal access and uploads when the device is online.

- Users can now tap a push notification for a specific work order and be taken directly into that exact work order in the Jolt mobile app, instead of manually navigating through menus, which makes it faster and more reliable to respond to tasks and reduces confusion when managing multiple locations or many work orders.

It works by adding prerequisites for receiving WO push notifications so when the user taps the notification, the app always attempts to deep link to that work order regardless of app state—launching or foregrounding the app as needed, switching to the correct location context, and landing on the appropriate detail view. If sign‑in is required the user authenticates first, and if the work order is unavailable or access is denied, a friendly error screen is shown instead.

- This feature lets admins set smart, automatic due and expiration intervals on each Work Order Template so that every new work order created from that template—on web or mobile—comes pre-populated with consistent dates instead of requiring manual entry.

This matters because it reduces data entry, enforces consistent timing across similar tasks, and improves predictability and compliance with operational timelines. On the web, template editors configure two intervals (“Work Order Due After” and “Once Due, Work Order Expires After”) using a number and time unit.

When a work order is created, the system calculates the due date as current date/time plus the configured due interval (or “Never” if the due interval is zero) and then calculates the expiration date as the due date plus the expiration interval, while still allowing users on mobile and web to override those dates for individual work orders.
