Product Updates

Web:

New project home page
We have created a true home page so that you can quickly see all of your projects upon signing in.

Timeline for VideoWalks
We have changed the ability to view VideoWalks from having to scroll through the calendar view, to now having a more streamlined timeline view at the bottom of your screen. Simply click on the filter button and select the dates of walks you’d like to see.

Public Project Link
Public project links can either be “Enabled” or “Disabled” for a project. This link can be shared with anyone and provides them access to the project in a view only mode. We have updated the permissions so if you have already shared a link but want to terminate anyones access all you have to do is click “Disable” this feature and then save. If you would like more information on how to use the Public Project Links follow this articles instructions: https://help.structionsite.com/en/articles/2260328-public-encrypted-links-to-view-projects.

This allows you to bulk-tag photos across projects, as well as be able to better access photos bulk-imported via the GPS fence.
