You can now send completed work to external reviewers for approval, without giving them access to your HINDSITE organisation.
externalapprover
Once your required internal approvals are complete, you can request an external review and nominate the person who needs to review the work.
They will receive a secure email invitation where they can view the completed work, download the report, approve it or request changes.
This makes it easier to include customers, contractors and other external stakeholders in your approval process, while keeping the review and approval history connected to the work in HINDSITE.
External reviews can be enabled and configured by an Admin in Settings.

You can now add custom fields to work orders, giving you more flexibility to capture and structure the job information that matters to your operations.
