Major improvements were released for connecting devices to accounts, table improvements, session timeouts and company/branch management. For more insights in what's next, please visit our roadmap: https://www.servicebridge.com/roadmap/
CHANGES TO THE MOBILE APPS
iOS v4.13.3
Users can now add a device using a QR Code scanner. (this means users no longer need to remember device id or add a device nickname, this will be done automatically for them.)
Users can now quickly disconnect a device from an account. (this will remove the device from that account so users can easily add the device to another account)
When users add photos to a job from a photo library, then the timestamp of the photo will be used instead of the time the photo was selected.
Improved some support functions related to sending and purging the database on the device
Improved background sync by updating to the latest push notifications for iOS 10 and newer
Resolved an issue related to permissions of changing the product and service quantity via the add & subtract buttons
Android v4.13.8

Add Devices via QR Codes
Users can now add devices quickly using QR Codes. There are now 3 ways to connect a device! 1) Scan the QR Code 2) Use the link below the QR code 3) Manually enter your device ID
As part of connecting devices via QR Codes, we introduced toast notifications, a new way to notify users when something has been completed successfully in the background
Also as part of QR codes, users can now select to use or not use device pins. (By default pins will not be required if the device was added via QR code. This means if you'd like an extra layer of security, then go into device settings and enable use pin.)
When a mobile user quickly disconnects from an account on their mobile device, the mobile device will be removed from that account (so that the user can add that device quickly to another account)
Company & Branch Management
We reduced a number of inconsistencies with how branches and branch profiles are managed to be more consistent with company profiles.
For franchise networks and multi-unit companies, we introduced the company & branch terminated date field
Session Timeout
For added security and QuickBooks Online compliance, we have reduced the session timeout duration. If users are inactive for over 24 hours, then a user will be logged out. A user will be notified 15 minutes prior to logout and will have the option to stay logged in.
