New! Importing of Tables

You now have the ability to import comma separated value (.CSV) sheets into tables while editing a Procedure.
To import a CSV file, add a table to the content block, and select the Import Table option.

We currently support tables up to 10 columns, and many many rows.
Quick note: If you already have data in that table, the existing data will be replaced by imported data.

New! Jira Integration for Non-Conformance Reporting

Native integration with Jira Cloud is now supported for our Pro tier customers!

New! Comments in Review Preview

To help improve your Review process, there are now TWO ways to view Review comments:

Version diff view (existing)
Preview run (new)

Reviewers can create / resolve / unresolve comments in either view and they will be kept in sync with each other.
Editor can see these review comments as they edit the procedure draft (existing behavior).

New! Track Usage for Parts

You can now track flight hours, cycles, or any other attributes for a part!
Usage for the part is added during a run, and the cumulative usage is displayed on the item's detail page.

New! Traceability of Inventory Item Components

You now have full traceability of which items were used as components in another item.
Component items are automatically captured from the Kitting steps for items built using a procedure with a Bill of Materials attached.
Alternatively, component items can be set from inventory by editing the item from its detail page.
Export an item to CSV to see the entire component hierarchy.

New! Show History of Inventory Item Use in Run

In an Inventory item’s detail page, check out the new Procedure Run History section to see all the occurrences of the item being referenced in a procedure run.
Inventory items are used in Builds specific procedure step content blocks, which include Kitting, Inventory Check-In, and Usage.
For each occurrence, the table lists time of occurrence, type of content block, status of the step, and a link to the procedure step.

Ability to set status of event and automatically populate the attached run status to event.
