Key changes

Safety/EPP Integration

Safety Locations as EPP Worksites

We have added an ability to flag a Location in Safety as an EPP Worksite. This will allow to establish links between objects in Safety linked to an EPP Worksite Location and documents in Forms where an EPP Worksite translates into a Project.

Linking Org Structure Sites to Locations

We have added a tool that allows linking a Location to one or more Organisational Structure nodes in Safety so that users can associate physical (Locations) and logical (Org Structure) hierarchies.

At the moment this is saved as reference information only and does not affect the functioning of the system.

Location-related APIs

We have created multiple APIs that will allow creating and updating Locations in Safety as requested by other Damstra systems.

VForms Portal enhancements

A Third Party/Visitor can be involved in an Events reported via a VForm Portal as a Person Reporting or Person Involved if in the settings of that VForm Portal the option "Hide Third Party/Visitor for Events" is switched off.
