To make sure you don't miss out on any of the new features at docu tools, we have summarised the most important new functions of the software for you in 2018.
Revision plan import
It is possible to import plans whose new format differs by more than 3% from the already imported plan. Read more...
New placeholders for reports
Generelle
{{report-title}} - Outputs the title that is entered in docu tools when the report is created.
{{plan-folder-name}} - Returns the name of the folder in which the plan is located.
{{project-client}} - Placeholder owner
{{project-client-assistant}} - Owner - Assistent
{{pin-notes}} - You can use this placeholder to output notes as plain text in Excel and Word templates.
{{all-datasets}} - Output all record links at once
You can find a list of all placeholders as usual here.
Placeholder task comments {{comments}}
These placeholders were developed in order to be able to display comments that are stored for tasks in the report. They can also be used to specify photos from comments, creators and time in the report.
{{comments}}
{{comment-author}} - {{comment-created-date}}
{{comment-text}}
{{comment-media}}
{{/comments}}
Placeholder {{attach-documents}}
This placeholder can be used to output PDF documents in the report in a readable form. Each page of the PDF is displayed on one page in the report. You can set this placeholder at the end of the pin so that you always have all PDF documents after each pin in the report.
Note: We recommend uploading rather short PDFs. Long PDFs cause long reports.
Placeholder {{alldatasets-all-info}}
With this placeholder you can display all additional information that a dataset link contains in the report.
Placeholder {{pin-sort}}
With this placeholder you can sort reports by plans or pin categories and display them in the table of contents.
{{pin-sort}}
{{sort-by-plan}} oder {{sort-by-category}}
{{pin-sort-title}}
{{/pin-sort}}
Notification Center
This "Information Center" always shows you the latest changes in a project. In this way, you always get directly to the place of the change (new plan, new pin, new task, etc.).
Info: A "as read" confirmation in the list will appear in a future update.
Push Notification
The first time you log in, you will be asked if you want to enable push notifications in your browser.
If you activate the notifications, you will also receive the push notification on your PC.
Notification e-mail now with links
You will receive an e-mail from the Notification Center, click on the link and go directly to the appropriate place in the software. In the following example picture, a new task has been assigned: By clicking on "Show change" you immediately get to the pin of the assigned task.
Plan export
Export plans as PDF, with or without pins or with filter. So your plans for the future can be safely stored or simply printed out, e.g. for the next construction meeting. Details here.
Select period of media
When creating your report, select the period from which the photos are to be included in the report. If, for example, you document the construction progress weekly with certain pins, you can now create a report of these pins in which only those media that were added "this week" are actually output.
Tablet - Updates
Reports
On iOS Tablets, reports can be created directly in the app. Select individual pins in the pin list or a pin group and add them to a report.
All reports created by a user are always visible in both the Web App and the Tablet App.
New Camera
We have developed a completely new camera. It is now possible to zoom, adjust brightness and focus, and create images in portrait format. Furthermore, the shutter release is now always on the right side and therefore easily accessible with the thumb.
Save images to media library
You can now automatically save all photos created in docu tools to the media library of your iPad. Please go to the user settings of your iPad and select Save Images to Media Library automatically. Then click on "Save".
Update offline Sync
To give you a better overview which projects/plans are not yet synchronized we have added new symbols here. Read more
