What's new

Schedule of Rates (SoR) V2 — generally available

SoR V2 is out of beta and ready for everyday commercial and delivery work — faster rules, safer wet-hire charging, and bulk docket actions that keep estimates aligned with what you deliver.

What it does:

• Faster rules editing and duration rounding — adjust charge rules and durations without slowing the week
• Protection against double-charging on wet hire — built-in guardrails so plant and labour don’t get billed twice by mistake
• Select-all matching dockets for bulk actions — act on matched dockets in one pass instead of one-by-one
• Quote-aware pricing — keep estimates and delivery pricing in sync as work progresses
• Smoother SoR preview rail and stronger rules editing — clearer previews and more reliable rule changes while you work

Where you'll find it: Schedule of Rates (V2 rules, duration rounding, wet-hire protection, matching dockets, quote-aware pricing, and the preview rail).

Who benefits: Commercial leads pricing wet hire and quoted work, billing teams bulk-acting on matched dockets, and project managers keeping delivery aligned with the estimate.

Dashboards & SMS — generally available

Dashboards and SMS leave beta — confident reporting and reliable field messaging you can run in production.

What it does:

• Beta badges removed — Dashboards and SMS are marked ready for production use
• Confident reporting at scale — build and share the views your sites and office need
• Reliable field communications — SMS that keeps crews and office in the loop when plans change

Where you'll find it: Dashboards for reporting views, and SMS / team collaboration messaging for field communications.

Who benefits: Project managers tracking progress, ops leads messaging crews, and finance/ops teams relying on production-ready dashboards week after week.

Wallet passes for your team

Give workers digital ID they can open on the phone — Apple Wallet from Personal Settings and branded Google Wallet badges for faster gate checks.

What it does:

• Add Apple Wallet from Personal Settings — workers add their pass without a separate toolkit
• Branded Google Wallet employee badges — company-branded ID for Android devices
• Faster site check-ins and easy ID on the go — less paper badge chase at the gate
• More reliable Wallet passes — steadier pass generation and delivery when teams need ID in the field

Where you'll find it: Personal Settings (Apple Wallet), and Google Wallet employee badge flows for branded mobile ID.

Who benefits: Site supervisors checking people in, workers who need ID on the go, and admins standardising digital badges across Apple and Android.

Cleaner vendor docs — company details on Purchase Order prints

Purchase Order prints now carry your company details so vendor paperwork looks complete and professional before it leaves the office.

What it does:

• Company details on PO prints — your organisation info appears on printed purchase orders

Where you'll find it: Purchase Orders when printing or exporting a PO.

Who benefits: Procurement and finance sending POs to suppliers, and vendors who need clear company details on the document.

Scheduler — status colour, Workers/Assets pivot, and steadier boards

See progress at a glance, switch how you assign, and keep large boards scrolling smoothly without duplicate allocations.

What it does:

• Status-coloured bars — read progress on the board without opening every allocation
• Pivot between Workers and Assets — assign from the view that matches how your yard plans the day
• Smarter pagination for smoother scrolling — large schedules stay responsive
• Protection against duplicate allocations — fewer accidental double-bookings when many people edit the board

Where you'll find it: Scheduler board (status colours, Workers/Assets pivot, scrolling, and allocation safeguards).

Who benefits: Ops leads and dispatchers staffing crews and plant, and planners working large multi-site boards under time pressure.

Forms get superpowers — tables, Other, nested groups, Ops templates

Capture structured site data the way work actually happens — nested tables, an escape hatch for “Other,” deep repeating groups, and a fast start from Assignar Ops templates.

What it does:

• Tables / SubTables as fields — capture tabular data inside the form, not in a side spreadsheet
• Other choice on choice fields — record the unexpected without breaking the form
• Recursive repeating groups — model nested data for complex site and compliance workflows
• Import Assignar Ops form templates — start from templates you already use instead of rebuilding from scratch

Where you'll find it: Forms builder and templates (Tables/SubTables, Other option, recursive repeating groups, Assignar Ops template import).

Who benefits: Safety and quality teams building inspections, site admins capturing nested site data, and ops teams migrating familiar Assignar Ops forms into Pay.

Payroll automation — Activity filters and regional unpaid breaks

Tighten shift rate rules by Activity and honour regional unpaid break offsets so awards and site practices stay aligned.

What it does:

• Filter shift rate rules by Activity — apply the right rule to the right work type
• Regional unpaid break offsets — support unpaid break handling that matches how your region works

Where you'll find it: Pay Rates / shift rate rules (Activity filter) and unpaid break offset settings for your region.

Who benefits: Payroll admins applying award rules by activity, and regional teams whose unpaid break practices differ by location.

Job costing clarity — Billable, Billed, Unbilled, and equipment actuals

See commercial progress on the job at a glance, and keep equipment actuals on the right cost centre automatically.

What it does:

• Billable to Date, Billed, and Unbilled at a glance — know what’s earned, invoiced, and still open without a spreadsheet hunt
• Attribute equipment actuals to the right job automatically — plant cost lands where the work happened
• Equipment re-attribution checks fixed — corrections and checks behave reliably when actuals move

Where you'll find it: Job Costing (Billable / Billed / Unbilled summaries and equipment actual attribution).

Who benefits: Project managers reviewing job financials, plant/ops attributing equipment cost, and finance reconciling billed vs unbilled work.

Find & act faster — command palette entity search

Jump straight into the entity you need from the command palette instead of hunting through menus.

What it does:

• Search inside entities from the command palette — find and open records without leaving your flow

Where you'll find it: Command palette (entity search across the records you work with day to day).

Who benefits: Anyone jumping between projects, orders, workers, and docs during a busy morning — PMs, payroll admins, and ops leads.

Get started quickly — region-appropriate starter workpacks

New accounts and teams get starter workpacks suited to their region so first workflows aren’t a blank page.

What it does:

• Region-appropriate starter workpacks seeded for you — sensible defaults matched to how your region works

Where you'll find it: Workpacks starter content seeded by region when you get set up. See Workpacks menu for details.

Who benefits: New teams standing up Assignar Pay, and admins who want region-sensible defaults before customising.

Reliability & release confidence

Background syncs and quote-to-order linking are steadier, and release checks plus performance work keep the product responsive as you grow.

What it does:

• Stopped silent data loss in background syncs — sync failures surface instead of vanishing
• Serialized quote→order linking — prevents race conditions when linking estimate to delivery
• Release checks before shipping — updates land only after required checks pass, for fewer regressions
• Sustained performance — smarter pagination and frontend readiness so large lists and boards stay responsive

Where you'll find it: Across background syncs, quote→order linking, and everyday list/board performance — no extra setup for these reliability improvements.

Who benefits: Every team relying on syncs, commercial handoffs, and large schedules or lists during peak weeks.

Why it matters for construction teams

• Rates and messaging you can trust in production: SoR V2, Dashboards, and SMS at GA mean commercial pricing, reporting, and field SMS are ready for live jobs — not trial mode.
• Gate checks without the badge chase: Apple and Google Wallet passes put branded ID on the phone so site check-ins move faster.
• Boards and forms that match how sites actually run: Status colour, Workers/Assets pivot, Tables/SubTables, Other, and nested repeating groups cut rework between the field form and the office record.
• Payroll and job cost with fewer surprises: Activity-filtered shift rules, regional unpaid breaks, and Billable/Billed/Unbilled views keep timesheets, awards, and invoices aligned through the week.
• Less hunting, cleaner handoffs: Command-palette entity search, quote-aware SoR pricing, and safer quote→order linking shorten the path from estimate to delivery.

Getting started

• SoR V2: Open Schedule of Rates — edit rules and duration rounding, confirm wet-hire double-charge protection, try select-all on matching dockets, and review quote-aware pricing on a live quote/delivery flow.
• Dashboards & SMS: Open Dashboards and SMS — confirm beta badges are gone and use them for production reporting and field messages.
• Wallet passes: In Personal Settings, add an Apple Wallet pass; confirm branded Google Wallet employee badges for Android users; verify passes open reliably on device.
• PO company details: Open a Purchase Order, print/export, and confirm your company details appear on the document.
• Scheduler: Open Scheduler — check status-coloured bars, pivot between Workers and Assets, scroll a large board, and confirm duplicate-allocation protection when editing.
• Forms: In the Forms builder, add Tables/SubTables, an Other choice, and a recursive repeating group; import an Assignar Ops form template if you have one.
• Payroll: In Pay Rates / shift rules, filter by Activity and confirm regional unpaid break offsets for your region.
• Job costing: Open Job Costing — review Billable to Date, Billed, and Unbilled, and confirm equipment actuals attribute to the correct job.
• Command palette: Open the command palette and search for an entity (project, worker, order, etc.) to jump straight in.
• Starter workpacks: Confirm region-appropriate starter workpacks are available for your account.
