Fieldlens Replacement
Dec 24, 2020In 2017, WeWork bought Fieldlens, and we just heard that they are shutting down all of Fieldlens, both the web and apps, around the end of 2020.
CrewTracks is a good alternative for Fieldlens since we have some of the same note and photo features, but we also have a whole lot more features to manage every aspect field operations, from document management, plan management, custom fields, equipment tracking, materials, productivity and production, time tracking, daily reports, and so much more.
Document Management is Here!
May 21, 2019Maybe you’ve been “in the know” for a year, or maybe you had no idea this was coming. Either way, document management is HUGE, and it’s the result of a ton of hard work and innovation here at CrewTracks. We’ve created five training videos for you to get up to speed, and they are at the bottom of this post. But first, here’s a very brief, doesn’t-even-do-it-justice, three point summary:
The Right Data on the Right Date
Feb 4, 2019Two New Features and a Sneak Peek
Oct 12, 2018We’ve snuck in a couple updates you might want to make use of, and there’s another one right around the corner. Here they are!
Add/Remove Employees Permission by Schedule
Before now, there was only one place to set the permission for employees to be added to or removed from a schedule in the app. That feature still exists, right here in Organization Settings:
CrewTracks Web App Gets a Facelift
Aug 27, 2018Great news! The web app (often referred to as the back end) of CrewTracks is about to look a lot more beautiful. The features and functionality you’re used to are still there, so you’ll be able to keep using CrewTracks without a hitch. But just in case the new look surprises you, we thought we’d do some “old way / new way” comparisons to keep you on track.
By the way, this update is laying the groundwork for a huge new feature we’ll be announcing soon. But I’m getting ahead of myself – here are the areas that have been updated so far.
Huge iOS Update! (Version 0.8.6)
Apr 25, 2018We’ve just released an update to our iOS app. There’s a lot to cover, so let’s get to it!
Minimum Lunch Time Setting
This setting can be found in Organization Settings, Crews, and Schedules. It allows you to set two thresholds: minimum lunch time and a minimum shift time. If enabled, a schedule cannot be submitted if users who work over the minimum shift time do not have a certain amount of lunch set.
CrewTracks Web App i.e. (“Backend”) Updates
Mar 19, 2018Coming Soon: Add previously-taken photos from your phone
Mar 12, 2018Just a quick heads up…
Currently, you add photos to CrewTracks by opening the notes and photos section and then taking a picture. We’ve heard from a few companies recently who would like to be able to add photos to their schedule even if they didn’t have CrewTracks open when they took the photo. This feature has been released to our beta testers, and will soon be available for everyone! No need to break the habit of opening up your phone’s camera to snap a pic. Just take pictures like you always do, and you’ll be able to add them to CrewTracks later.
That’s it for now, but keep your eyes open for more features coming your way. Exciting stuff happening over here. : )
