Zutec continues to improve the features and usability of our solution in order to deliver the best possible user experience to our customers.  Below are the product updates for 2.116.0.

Zutec API Updates

Feature: Report Adapters (API Endpoints)

A new modification has been implemented on the report adapters, to allow the administrator to set additional arguments to the report adapter URL, to set the offset and limit, as well as the search term.

This allows for further filtering of data sets.

The Offset and Limit parameters can be set on all Report Adapters.

The Search feature can be added to the Register Data with Reviews Report Adapter.

*Please contact support to enquire more about the Zutec API Endpoints.

Zutec Cloud – Event Flows

Event Flow Feature allows the Super Admin to configure automatic event flows that occur based on a particular trigger, and actions.

A New Trigger Type has been added to Event Flow for Supersede.

Based on a File being superseded on a record, an event can be configured..

The Event Flow function is a newly-developed feature designed to trigger events in the system (such as an item being added, or a given time being reached) that can be used to trigger further actions in the system. Event Flows are configured via the Manage Event Flows section under the General Options section.

An Event Flow is started by a trigger. Optional condition(s) can be added to match data in a selected register field (or fields). From there, an action is set to trigger an event within the system.

Security Filters Supported for Review Notifications

This is a new feature whereby Review Notifications check for Security Filters so that users with the correct user permission receive the review notifications.

Product Update – Quality Management

Quality Management is a fundamental part of any project, but its implementation is often time-consuming. At Zutec, we’re constantly making improvements to our platform to enable our clients to achieve maximum efficiency on their projects.

Our latest product updates 2.113.0 and 2.114.0 includes two entirely new features that will aid your Quality Management procedures; a new quality checklist builder and the ability to import existing project configurations.

Zutec Field track app

You can use the Zutec Field app to closely track quality inspections and report progress on the Zutec dashboard. The app allows you to drop pins and perform analytics, linking inspection forms back to BIM elements to help you visualise the BIM model.

Depending on the scale of your project, the level of detail you want to track can vary. That’s why Zutec is fully customisable – you can use standard checks required on most projects, or you can adjust this if a higher level of intricacy is needed.

For example, while a standard check might include concrete pours, with Zutec you can add detail such as the mix-rate of the concrete used, measuring depths and dimensions, and other materials used. This is important because once a building is up and running, sooner or later you inevitably encounter problems. With Zutec, you don’t just know that all the right checks were performed, but you have a full register of what was inspected, when and by whom.

Having this dataset on your asset is essential during the operations phase, as you can easily identify any defects for quick remediation. However, it will also act as a safeguard, particularly with problems surrounding safety issues like fire stopping, and provide you with an added level of confidence in any insurance situation.

Zutec gives you more flexibility and freedom to manipulate your checklists than anything else currently on the market. Once a checklist has been created, you still have the ability to make further tweaks and modifications, adding more inputs if necessary. You have full access to the underlying data on the forms, adding tremendous value from a handover and FM perspective.

Easily import project configurations

It’s now possible to easily import project configurations from one project to another by downloading them as a single file. This is a significant improvement, saving you time and streamlining processes.

On some projects, it can eliminate the need to build configurations from scratch. Once you have found a set-up that works, you can use it to automatically populate a new project in a completely seamless process. This means set-up and onboarding times are greatly reduced, including the confirmation of access permissions, which you can now assign at scale rather than individually.
