Product Updates

Web:

• View only user – this user can be added directly or via an invite link. This type of user can only view drawings and photos. They cannot add, change, remove, or share anything. They cannot view other team members.
• VideoWalk beta launch. Many continued improvements to that workflow not come.
• Offline export has become live again. We still need to do a bit of testing for very large projects; if exports don’t work, please put in a chat request and we will get your export to you as soon as possible.
• Significant improvement to many backend processes, such as processing documents, syncing lots of photos to a cloud storage provider, etc.
• Ability to add new or existing RFIs into Procore (if you’ve enabled photo backup with Procore). If you create an RFI within procore, you will see a link within the RFI that takes you back to the exact viewpoint in StructionSite, which is clickable when it’s in PDF formiOS:
• Ability to bulk-import photos you’ve taken with your regular iOS camera (without the StructionSite app) onto a GPS-aligned drawing. This is to consolidate all photos you’ve taken on the project if you’ve implemented StructionSite mid-project
• Added several guides and resources for onboarding new users, and quick access to updates for experienced users.
• Fixed an issue where drawing updates sometimes don’t show up on mobile
• Made it easier for new users to begin a free 45-day project pilot to fully evaluate  StructionSite!

Web:

• We’ve made it much easier for admins to onboard and add new users on a project, without requiring the admin to manually enter email addresses as new users join a project. We have added ability to create a share link that requires approval for users to join. So when users add themselves to a project, an approve/deny box will show up for the administrator before the user can obtain access to a project (for security purposes). Alternatively, you can set the share link so that approval is automatic. You can turn this setting on/off globally, even with links you’ve already sent out.
• Navisworks Beta feature is now relatively stable and available for beta users
• Fixed a bug where signing up with a new account on StructionSite using your existing ProCore account from an invitation will not add you to the project
• If a user adds a chat/note, and the title contains a link to a website, the link will be clickable
• For PDF exports, the black bounding box that surrounds each pin has been hiddeniOS:
• Ability to align GPS to drawing, so that you can track where you are on the drawing as you walk around the jobsite. This feature in it’s current state is meant to function as “assistance” for helping you locate yourself on a site that may have few physical features (i.e. dirtwork), and works best outdoors when GPS is most accurate
• Added many tutorials for new users, i.e. how to capture photos, connect to cameras, use tags, leverage progress photos, and other workflows
• Fixed issue where sometimes not all photos will sync successfully, and fail to sync. Syncing should be more stable now

• Users now can request to be put on a project trial, which allows a project to have unlimited users and access to all integrations and full StructionSite features for a given period of time for a fuller evaluation of the software
• Fixed a bug where exporting a PDF the first time resulted in a blank PDF, which required clicking export again to get pins to show up.
• Fixed a bug where when you go into the project info screen, you can’t get out without typing the project name
• Fixed a bug where collaborators could not access the split-view function when viewing a photo
• Fixed a bug that prevented users from exporting large numbers of PINs
• Refined the account page so it doesn’t show any expiration date or option to upgrade if you’re on a project team plan/enterprise plan. Also, it’ll actually tell you if you’re an enterprise administrator if you’ve been assigned that role (so that you can feel both more special and more powerful than regular users)
• Refined the “Add User” popup so now it shows a description of what each user does (Admin, collaborator)
• Added a “Share Link” that allows you to add users as an admin or collaborator. This link can be shared with others, and when they use that link, they can sign up for an account (or login to an existing account), and get automatically added to the project. This makes onboarding of new users much more streamlined without requiring email confirmation or having the admin manually add in each new user as the project goes on (ability to require approval and to turn off the public link coming in the next release)
• Public photos now show notes/chats that have been added (Ability to turn this off globally to come in next release)
• Fixed a bug where uploading a PDF as an image, or certain PDFs with certain markups in them, would not process
• Added a workflow to be able to reset password directly from the account page, without having to log out, in case you forgot your password
• Fixed a bug where when you add a progress photo to an existing photo, the photo gets de-selected
• Fixed a bug where if you were adding a new area, and had many drawings, the list was not scrollable
• Added a loading indicator to My Account Page so you don’t just see a blank screen

•  Area grouping of drawings (AKA folders). Whether you’re building a high-rise or have multiple buildings in your project, being able to organize the drawing backgrounds for your photos by building area is key for accessibility.
• Auto-archiving of photos into Box, Egnyte, One-Drive, and more!
  You can now set up your project so that photos will get auto-exported into your cloud-provider of choice, such as Box, Egnyte, One-Drive, DropBox, Sharefile, and more! We also now do photo syncing on a project-level basis, with separated folders for each drawing automatically!
• New enterprise-level accounts. Due to the fast growing number of companies who have decided to take advantage of StructionSite’s (rather cost-effective) enterprise plan, we have created a new type of super-user that allows for the creation of projects with unlimited users without requiring per-project approval by our staff!

Web Specific:

• Fixed bug that prevented uploading of photo files (JPG, PNG) as drawings
• Fixed a bug where sometimes when you export a PDF, it’s rotated and cropped

iOS Updates:

• Now when you reply to a note, you can @ mention someone. You type @, and it’ll pull up a list of collaborators in the project. When you @ mention someone, yourself as well as that other person will receive an email if there is anyone else that responds to that note
• iOS notifications when someone replies to a note (slack-style). When a note you’ve subscribed to is responded to, you’ll get a notification with what the message says on your iOS device. When you tap on the notification, it’ll take you right to that photo and orient you towards that note, so you can see the context and quickly reply to it
• Ability to share a note – you can take any note and generate a hyperlink that can be texted or emailed. If that note is opened on an iOS device, then it’ll automatically take the user to that note within the photo in the StructionSite app without having to navigate there on their own. Note this works on iOS only, not web yet
• Tap/hold to move a pin that hasn’t yet been synced, in case you’ve made a mistake in the placement of that PIN

• You can now add notes to standard photos (note: iOS does not have this ability yet, but should have it soon)

 iOS Updates:

• Added support for the Garmin VIRB 360 and NCTech Iris 360 cameras

• Public hyperlinks to photos now has timeline navigation view for paid projects
• Dedicated move button now makes it easier and more intuitive to move pins, and now can’t be “accidentally moved” when panning a floorplan

• Added an onboarding screen to assist new users with how to get the most out of StructionSite
