We are thrilled to announce the latest series of updates and improvements across our platform. With a focus on enhancing usability, administrative features, and backend stability, we aim to provide our users with a more seamless and efficient experience. Below are the highlights of our latest release:

Backend Improvements improvement 

• PDF Upload Optimization: Updated constraints to remove blank pages and limit PDF uploads to a maximum of 50 pages.
• S3 Storage Clean-up: Implemented clean-up processes for AWS structure to improve data organization and access efficiency. 
• Bug Fixes: Addressed a critical bug affecting the 'submit and save report' function and resolved Laravel model issues post-update for smoother backend operations.

Customer-Centric Updates New Feature 

• Knoxbox Description Field: Added a description field for Knoxbox, allowing for more detailed information to be captured and displayed. 
• System Type Field Adjustment: Made the Last Service Date optional instead of required when adding a system type, offering more flexibility in data entry. This is used to provide a known last service date of a system type that may be added to LIV that the inspection was submitted prior to go-live. This will allow you to enter a date, and then leverage the LIV notification system and reports to see next due date(s). This only needs to be used when adding a system type to a premise that a report was sent to the Fire Department, before LIV was available. 

Hotfixes fix 

• Columnset Saving Issue: Adjusted columnsets to ensure they are saved correctly, addressing a critical usability concern.
• Phone Field Resolution: Fixed an issue with the phone field in the create user modal, ensuring accurate data capture. 

Future Preparation New Feature Feature Request 

• Some features such as the Internal Paid Report Section preparation work are not live yet and are in preparation for future releases. More to come on this as it becomes available. 

This release underscores our commitment to continuously improving our platform to meet the evolving needs of our users. We appreciate your feedback and are excited to see how these updates will enhance your experience with our service.

We are excited to announce the latest updates and improvements to LIVSafe.com. This release includes several enhancements and bug fixes aimed at improving the usability and functionality of our system. Here are the details of the updates included in this release:

Enhancements  New Feature 

• Green Dot Indicator for New AHJs

• Last Service Date for System Type Entry - AHJ's
  We've added a feature that will allow you to enter a known last service date, when adding a System Type to a premise. This feature can be used where we know a report was provided prior to using LIV and we want to trigger a notification for the next report dates to system users. Typically this will be used where we don't have a report directly uploaded to LIV but was provided prior to the premise or system being added to LIV.
• Updated Premise Download Export
  The premise download export feature has been updated for enhanced user experience and data handling including new column sets.
• Rotate PDF Upload Reports
  Users now have the ability to rotate PDF reports upon upload, facilitating better document management and readability.

This way any AHJ can download and sent to potential new contractors or others that have not received the notification. This will be in the Notification Section of your AHJ profile.

Bug Fixes fix 

• Fixed Hover Print Errors
  We've addressed and resolved the issue causing errors when hovering over the print option.
• Renewal Dates
  We've addressed and resolved the issue that was not taking the latest uploaded report as the current renewal date per system type. This issue was mainly noticed when merging premises together and combining report uploads. We will now take the latest uploaded report as the primary to send notifications on and list in the system.
