Release Notes 2025.05

MetaField is rolling out new Project Manager and Lab Manager home screen tiles over the next couple of weeks! These five new tiles provide a more powerful and intuitive way to track project progress, optimize workflows, and ensure timely, accurate project delivery, giving you a clearer, real-time view of key data.

For Project Managers:

• Keep projects on track by surfacing actions that need immediate attention with one click.
• Enable better decision-making and resource allocation with real-time insights into field and lab work status.
• Improve accountability and efficiency by monitoring completed and missing work by project and assigned technician. 
  (Note: Cast Cylinder and Soil Nuclear Gauge Tiles will be replaced by Lab Testing and Field Testing Tiles.)

For Lab Managers:

We have added additional calibration intervals for use in defining equipment calibrations. This feature allows for more accurate definition of these events.

We have resolved an issue where the Copy Specifications to Another Project function did not transfer all specifications.

Now, all specifications are successfully copied to the destination project as intended.

An issue has been resolved where some reports that were finalized from Review > Field Reports were not being sent to Delivery as expected had they been emailed from the field.
