Novade Product Update for September, 2019
General
In the Quality module, we now have a standardized Inspection object that can be configured to suit different workflows.
In the Safety module, users now have the ability to see the next steps in any workflow and the users responsible for the next steps, this ensures greater visibility on the progress of any Permit or Safety form through its lifecycle.
We have also made some changes to the way PDFs can be downloaded in some instances. Instead of a direct download, any PDF that has more than 50 images in it will be queued up on the server and the user will receive a link to download the PDF once it is ready. This measure was necessary to improve server performance which was being affected by multiple requests for large PDFs.
