What's New in Field View 2023 R7

With the sixth release of Viewpoint Field View™ of 2023, we continue to add functionality that benefits the ease of use. We also added the process form status change to use with mobile devices, and are continuing our preparations to move features from Classic Field View to the New Web in readiness for the end of Classic Field View.

Installation Updates

In order to continue getting new releases of Field View, users must now have iOS 14 or Android OS 7.1 or higher on their devices. You will still be able to use Field View on older devices, but you won’t get any updates to the software.

Device Password Update, for iOS App Users Only

You may have to log in to Field View when trying to sync each project after updating your device. Once each project has been updated on the device, this won't be required again. If there are any problems, your Field View admin may need to provide a new device password.

Process Form Status Change

When you change the status of a process form when on the mobile version of Field View, Field View will ask if you also want to change the status of the parent process task. This will save you time and effort when closing forms, as you can close the task when closing the form.

We're linking the form and task Complete and Closed statuses. This means that anytime you change the status of the form to one of those milestone status options, you will receive a prompt to change the task to the corresponding status. This will also work for multiple process forms or bulk form status changes and the associated tasks for the forms.

Field View will also ask if you want to update if it detects the workflows for the forms and tasks are different. On bulk process form, Field View would use additional prompts to detect if there are different workflows associated with the task and the parent process tasks.

Classic End of Life

We’ll be spending time moving features that appear in Classic Field View into New Field View in preparation for ending use of Classic Field View.

  • Removing task reports. This is currently scheduled for 2023 R10.

  • Moving form tasks and processes. This is currently scheduled for 2023 R10.
