Approval Filter Added to Nuclear Density Report Summaries

We’ve updated the Nuclear Density Asphalt Testing and Nuclear Density Soil Testing report summaries with a helpful new filter option.

You’ll now see a checkbox labeled “Exclude data that has not yet been approved”. When selected, this filter will limit the report to only include field reports that have been approved, giving you cleaner and more reliable data for review or export.

This filter also applies to Excel exports so that your downloaded data matches what you see on screen.

Enjoy more control and better clarity now!

Manage your proctors more efficiently with importing

You may be familiar with adding proctors to a project. We've made it easier to import proctor tests that you have performed as a proctor for the project.

Starting from the Project screen, click on the 'Add New Proctor' button. (This part has not changed.)

You will notice there is now an Import button. You can now pull in test data for your project proctors.

You will see a list of lab proctor tests to select from. Choose the test you want to import, then click Import.


We hope this saves you time and effort in managing your project proctors!

New Feature: Combine Multiple Tests into One Summary Report

We’re excited to introduce a powerful new way to streamline your reporting process: combine data from multiple lab tests into a single, easy-to-read summary report.

Many tests are performed together or in sequence as part of a standard testing battery. Instead of generating separate reports for each test, you can now group them and present the results in one consolidated document.

Why this matters:
✅ Save time by reducing the number of individual reports
✅ Simplify communication with clients and stakeholders
✅ Create a clear, professional summary of related test data

Example Use Case:
When testing aggregates, you may perform gradation analysis, moisture content, and specific gravity tests to evaluate the sample. Instead of sending three separate reports, now you can combine all results into one clear, professional summary report for your clients.

In action:

From a Lab Sample page (Dashboard > Samples > Sample # 12345), click the + in the Forms section.

This will bring up the Add Form window. Here you can select the type of summary report you wish to create.


From here, you can build a report which displays the relevant test data by selecting the Associated Tests you'd like to display on the report. 

Log in today and start creating combined summary reports!

New! Copy Dispatch from Weekly View

We've extended the dispatch copy functionality to the Weekly view, making it easier to duplicate scheduling without switching between different calendar views. Previously, you could only copy dispatches from the daily view.

Each dispatch card in the Weekly view now includes a copy icon in the upper right corner. Clicking this icon opens the same copy modal you're familiar with from the daily view, where you can select the target date and choose whether to include assigned inspector information.

When you copy a dispatch within the same week you're currently viewing, the new dispatch card appears immediately with the appropriate status color: blue for pending dispatches versus green for completed ones. This visual feedback confirms the copy was successful.

The feature maintains all the same functionality as the daily copy process, including the ability to copy inspector assignments and proper stop number sequencing.

Watch video of enhancement >

Benefits

  • Faster workflow: Copy dispatches without leaving the weekly planning view
  • Better visibility: See copied dispatches immediately if they fall within the current week
  • Consistent experience: Same copy modal and options as daily view
  • Visual confirmation: Color-coded status shows pending vs. completed dispatches
  • Complete functionality: Includes assignment copying and all existing copy features

Edit Data from the Lab Sample Board

We’ve made managing lab work even faster and easier! With our latest update, you can now edit data directly from the Lab Sample Board. Now there is no need to navigate through multiple screens or drill down into individual lab tests. For any test on the lab status board, look for the notepad icon. 

This enhancement turns the Lab Sample Board into a one-stop shop for your lab workflow. Whether you need to update results, adjust entries, or keep work moving forward, you can do it all in one place.

What this means for you:
✅ Save time by eliminating extra clicks
✅ Stay organized with all your data at your fingertips
✅ Keep your lab testing moving swiftly

New Feature: Text Message Notifications for Technicians

We’ve added support for text message notifications to help your technicians stay informed in real time.

When enabled, technicians can receive SMS alerts for key updates right on their phones, including new dispatches, changes to assignments, or other important field activity. It’s a faster, more direct way to keep your team connected and responsive throughout the day. You'll need to make sure a mobile number is entered and SMS is turned on in the technician’s user account.

Reach out to us if you would like to set up text messaging for your account.

It’s one more way we’re helping you stay compliant, reduce downtime, and keep your lab operations on track.

Improved Schedule Copy Function

Better Scheduling: Copy Assignments Along with Dispatches

We've expanded our existing dispatch copy functionality to include assigned inspector information. Previously,  you'd need to manually reassign inspectors when you copied a dispatch to a future date. Now you can copy both the dispatch and its assignments in one step.

When using the copy feature on a scheduled dispatch, you'll find a new checkbox option to 'Copy Assigned Inspectors'. When enabled, the system automatically recreates the inspector assignments for the new date. This maintains the same stop number sequence as if you had manually assigned them through the assignment window.

It also supports copying multiple selected dispatches simultaneously to the same target date, which preserves all assignment details across the batch. The system ensures proper stop number uniqueness for each inspector on each day to prevent scheduling conflicts.

This improvement saves time when planning recurring inspections or rescheduling work and eliminates the need to rebuild assignment schedules from scratch.

Benefits

  • Saves time: Copy both dispatch and assignment details in one action
  • Reduces errors: Eliminates manual reassignment steps that could be forgotten
  • Supports batch operations: Copy multiple dispatches with assignments simultaneously
  • Maintains scheduling integrity: Automatically handles stop number sequencing
  • Improves workflow: Simplifies recurring inspection scheduling and rescheduling tasks

Refreshed User Account Page

We’ve refreshed the User Account Page to make it clearer, cleaner, and easier to use.

With this update, it's now simpler to manage your personal settings, update your information, and see exactly what permissions and roles are tied to your account or users you manage. Whether you're adjusting locations or checking access levels, everything is now more intuitive and streamlined.

It’s a small change that makes a big difference in your day-to-day workflow, now live in your Omnant account!

Summary View for Corporate Users

As part of our upgraded user account page, we’ve added a new Summary View for Corporate Users which allows them to see key account information without the ability to make administrative changes.

View-only fields include:

  • First & Last Name
  • Email Address
  • Assigned Office
  • Locations where they are assignable to dispatches
  • Locations where they can access data

This way they can confirm the most common details: that their contact details are correct and they have access to the locations they need.
