v1.511.0
New features
Operator View is now available for all customers.
.webp)
This is a brand new interface designed specifically for operators on the shop floor. It brings all operator needs into one simple view, from logging stops and managing tasks to tracking batches and line performance in real time.
With its clear, intuitive design, operators can act in just a few clicks, stay focused on production, and provide more reliable data for managers and leaders.
- AI-generated templates for Activities are now available.
We’re introducing a faster way to create activities! With AI-generated templates for activities, you can now upload an image of any existing form, and Factbird’s AI will automatically generate a draft activity for you.
Improvements
- Organization Administration
- The organization hierarchy editor in the administration page has received a few improvements with a focus on user experience.
- User Administration
- User management related inputs are now disabled for companies that manage their users via an external identity provider, IdP. For example, buttons in Factbird for creating, enabling, and disabling users are now disabled when users are managed through Active Directory in Microsoft.
- Other
- The color of the buttons for manual rework registration has been changed from green to yellow to signal units that need to be re-tested and not necessarily good parts.
Bug fixes
- Form errors are now correctly reported in the stop registration dialog if inputs don’t pass validation.
- Fixed a bug where fields from different activities were mixed up when displaying the form or the completed activity. This would happen when one activity was duplicated from another or when multiple instances of the same activity were listed but the activity had been modified in between them.
- Fixed a bug where the redirect between the Shift dashboard and the Register Stops tab entered an infinite loop.
- Fixed a permission issue for devices.
- Fixed a bug on the Update override dialog where the user couldn't save without commenting.
- Fixed the helper text on the Stops tab on "Main Sensor Settings" dialog.
- Fixed a bug where duplicating an activity would use the same form fields as the existing activity, which could lead to wrong custom form fields being shown.
- When a time period extending into the future is selected (e.g. a current shift), the line KPIs no longer include time in the future and are only calculated on the available recorded production data.
