We’re excited to share some brand new features and improvements to DataTouch – including crew management, high-wind weather alerts, one-PIN attendee sign-offs, and enhanced workflow tools. Find out here what’s new!
New Features
Crew management: There’s a new feature in the system’s People Resources section that allows you to assign specific crews to activities/hotspots as well as single operatives.
You can now build out specialist crews in the crew management section to assign to an activity.
This enhancement improves accountability and visibility of who performed the work by linking crew members to specific tasks, enabling more detailed reporting and streamlined workforce management.
Weather safety alerts: High-wind warnings enhance on-site safety and coordination. Wind speeds in project settings will now be highlighted when they exceed safe lifting thresholds, set to your own metrics.
This visual alert helps ensure that teams are quickly aware of unsafe wind conditions, clients can take prompt action and coordinate accordingly, lifting operations can be adjusted to maintain safety, and proactive decision-making is carried out to improve overall project health & safety.
Multi-select attendee confirmation: Admins will be able to select multiple attendees and confirm sign-in with a single PIN entry.
Improvements
Automatic web log-in links: New users will receive a web link to log-in and set their PIN upon creation, linked to DataScope’s workforce management system to streamline onboarding.
Sticky note enhancements: Introducing new editing capabilities for better planning and updates.
Improved task sorting: Unassigned tasks will be separated by document type, improving the ways to view permits from site documents and programmed activities from collaborative planning.
Dashboard toolbar date picker: Users can now select specific date ranges for dashboards.
Drawing & visual tools: Users can edit drawings for better clarity and customisation, and copy all drawings to specific dates.
Visual system tweaks: We’ve added in the ability to change app backgrounds and manage upload destinations for drawings.
