Responsible Group - Monthly Scores Report

Issue / Request

Client has requested an "overall star rating" for each month on the report.

Resolution

Added a “Show Overall Score” and “Show Overall Star Rating” parameters in the report.

When the “Show Overall Score” is checked, this will display an overall score column at the end of the report table.

application_edit

Component

Performance Monitoring Report

Issue / Request

The report is displaying the wrong overall star rating on a one functional area.

Resolution

Investigated the issue and found that this is caused by a functional area risk level change. The client loaded 6 months of data for the same area. On the first 3 months the area was assigned a lower risk e.g., FR4 then it was changed to FR2. This has caused confusion in the overall star rating calculation.

We have fixed the issue by getting the current risk level on the functional area instead of the risk stored in the audit. This means the overall score in the report will always use the current risk level of the area whilst the monthly scores will use the risk level of the area when the audit was created.

New Feature

Component

Monitoring Elements List - Element Export

Issue / Request

Client has requested for the following data export:

All elements alongside which Responsible Groups we’ve allocated to it

Table Maintenance / Maintenance / Corrective Actions

Table Maintenance / Maintenance / Failure Reasons

Resolution

We had similar export requests from other clients; therefore, we have decided to create a "Monitoring Element Export" report which lists all the current elements as well as all the responsible groups, failure reasons, and corrective actions that are allocated to each of the elements.

The report can be downloaded from the Monitoring Elements List view.

Monitoring - Audit Group List

Issue / Request

The Audit Group List doesn't show the correct star rating for a blended risk area - e.g. Group ID 2154 is showing as 5 Stars in the view but 4 Stars in the Cleanliness Rating Report

Resolution

Issue / Request

Display the Schedule ID in the Audit Group List

Resolution

Issue / Request

Is it possible to add a column or 2 to the report so it shows this data?

Component

Cleaning Schedules

Issue / Request

The client has reactivated 3 old weekly schedules in the system where "Next Due Date" is set to year 2020. This has caused the schedule process to run for a long time as it created a weekly audit for the 3 schedules starting year 2020.

Resolution

To avoid the issue from happening again, we have displayed a prompt on schedule activation to warn the clients that the next due date is older than 2 months from the current date.

Resolution

Added 2 new editors in the “Task Schedule – Frequencies” tab for “Asset Count Type” and “Asset Count”.

User can select “Number” or “Percentage” from the “Asset Count Type” combo-field and specify a value in the “Asset Count” field.

E.g. If the user selected “Percentage” as a type and input a value of 50 in the count field, then this will translate to collect 50% of the assets in the schedule search criteria.

The ticket didn't generate for Ticket ID 698 even though the remedial template is configured against the task type and the 'trigger' is checked in the survey answer.

Resolution

The ticket creation process had a validation error on the “Reported By” field. The field value was empty because it is run by another application therefore, we need to auto populate this with the Staff Id of the user who selected the answer from the ticket survey link.

Mobile Tasking

Issue / Request

Implement the "Auto Download" feature in Mobile Tasking.

Resolution

Displayed the “auto download” configuration in the “Mobile Device List - Tasking” panel. The config will be enabled by default, which means the current mobile download process will stay the same for the Task Management (TM) users. However, when the config is disabled, this will breakdown the TM download into batches. Initially, the process will only download the main ticket information & the rest of the ticket details e.g., events, documents, survey links will be downloaded later when the ticket is selected from the list.

Resolution

Amended the ticket login process, when the user selects an auto-fail value from the survey link (e.g. selected “Disagree” on a Health & Safety check), then the application will allow them to continue logging in to the ticket IF they provide a mitigation statement. Otherwise, they will get navigated back to the Ticket List and their login event will be converted to an Audit Log event.

Resolution

The user navigated to another scorecard without pressing the "Save" button from the bottom toolbar hence the values didn't get saved in the device storage.

Mobile Survey

Issue / Request

Client reported the following:

"I completed the following Efficacy audit today but am unable to download the report"

Resolution

The survey that the user reported was committed but with no values in the grid. We have investigated the issue and found out that this is caused by a failed upload process i.e., upload was interrupted due to lack of network connectivity, etc.

To stop the system from committing an empty survey, we have improved the survey mobile upload process to validate each scorecard via the server-side before the survey is committed. If the validation failed, then the survey would remain open.

Issue / Request

On the app for the user, they can see the date the audit was created but not how long they have to do it. So on there screen that lists the audits they need to do is it possible to enter a complete by date?

Resolution

We have added a “DR” column in the Location list that displays the Red, Amber, Green colour which is controlled by the number of days remaining until the next audit (calculated based on the Audit Date & the FR’s “Days Between Monitoring” value). This is the same RAG colour displayed in the Create Multiple Audits view, where “Red” indicates that the audit is overdue and green means there’s still plenty of time to complete the audit.
