Mobile Enhancements
Universal Search – Persistent Map Pins
Universal Search results now persist on the map until the user clears them, enabling visibility of multiple assets simultaneously.
Highlights:
- Pins remain until cleared via Clear or Cancel.
- Clear also resets search text; X clears text only.
- Clear button is disabled when no pins exist.
- Keyboard-driven workflows are supported on Windows devices.
- Search candidates only refresh on manual text entry.
Universal Search – Custom Locator Output Fields
Universal Search now supports displaying custom output fields returned by the locator.
Highlights:
- Custom fields (e.g., EFLabel, GlobalID) are included in results.
- EFLabel replaces Asset ID when present.
- Labels display as [EFLabel] – [Locator Name].
- Marker popups include additional attributes when available.
- Requires updated locator configuration and regenerated MMPKs.
Workflow Forms – Required Attachment Count Validation
Workflow forms now enforce required attachment counts instead of only checking for at least one attachment.
Highlights:
- Forms cannot be completed until required attachment counts are met.
- Each required attachment selection increases the total required count.
- Validation messaging reflects missing attachments before submission.
Web Suite Enhancements
Workflow Builder – Simplified Default Value Configuration
Setting default values for form fields has been streamlined.
Highlights:
- “Set as Default” checkbox added to value edit modals.
- Single-select fields support one default value.
- Multi-select fields support multiple default values.
- Default values are clearly marked with a Default badge in value lists.
Work Scheduler Enhancements

Work Scheduler now supports map-driven reassignment of work features.
Highlights:
- Features can be selected directly from the map.
- Lasso selection enables bulk feature moves.
