Changelog

Recent updates and improvements to Midfield Digital Labs

Version 2.11

New Forms AppBuild your own forms right inside Digital Labs (/forms). Start from a blank form, duplicate an existing one, or import a ready-made form definition, then shape it with the form builder - no technical knowledge required.
Polished Form Layouts & ThemesOrganise questions into sections and present them as a guided sidebar, a step-by-step wizard or a single page, with a professional corporate or minimal theme, cover images, journey diagrams and capability matrices.
Smart QuestionsShow or hide questions and whole sections automatically based on earlier answers, and use rich question types such as repeating item lists, matrices, file uploads, addresses and declarations.
Secure Share LinksSend a form to people outside the business using a private link protected by a 6-digit access code, share internal forms that require a Digital Labs sign-in, or publish an open public link. Links can be closed or given an end date at any time.
Work Together, Save As You GoSeveral people from the same organisation can contribute to one response over several days. Every answer saves automatically and shows who last edited it, and submitted responses are locked so they cannot change.
Responses You Can UseView every response in one place, get email notifications when a form is submitted, and download all answers as a spreadsheet (one row per response or one row per answer) or as a data file.

Version 2.10

Speed Standards Multi-Scope Publishing FixResolved a database constraint issue when publishing new speed curves across Night Shift or multi-chain scopes, ensuring the audit change group is seamlessly registered before version records are applied.
Kill Floor Speed Standards PublishingAdded a direct 'Create New Standard' action to the Speed Standards tab on the Kill Floor Efficiency screen (/operations/kill-floor-efficiency). Operations and production managers can now configure and publish new effective-dated performance curves, weight brackets, and default startup cutoffs directly from the floor interface without requiring IT admin access.
Enhanced Confirmation System & Safe DeletionsUpgraded platform-wide confirmation dialogs with semantic visual indicators, interactive text justifications, and exact-match verification for critical entities (such as user accounts and security roles). Replaced all browser-level popup prompts with unified in-app modals.
Kill Floor Efficiency Floor PolishEnhanced the Floor Supervisor screen (/operations/kill-floor-efficiency) with automatic mobile stacking for speed curve tables, explicit chain selection prompts, clean grayed-out placeholder hints, and seamless in-app justification modals for voiding records.
Database Connections Form FixFixed an issue in the Database Connections admin console where updating connection details without re-entering the password would trigger a validation error. You can now leave the password field blank to preserve the existing stored password seamlessly.
Operational Targets & Kill Floor Efficiency SystemReplaced legacy flat metrics with a unified, effective-dated operational target and line efficiency engine! Features a dedicated, mobile-friendly Floor Supervisor Screen (/operations/kill-floor-efficiency) for fast-action logging of approved downtime credits, planned startup cutoffs, and shift speed offsets across Chain 1 (MMP) and Chain 3 (MMI). Includes a side-by-side weight curve inspector and an auditable shift exceptions ledger with 1-click void actions.
Universal Target Configurator (Admin Console)Introduced a flexible Operational Targets Configurator (/admin/operational-targets) allowing plant managers and administrators to define custom KPI catalogs, create dynamic piecewise bracket curves (such as animal weight to BPH or packaging tray speeds), configure default startup times, and publish multi-scope standard versions across departments and facilities without deploying new code.
Live Database Connection RefreshingUpdated runtime database connection management so any edits to external databases (such as schemas, hosts, or credentials) take effect immediately across all active services without requiring application restarts.
Identity Provider Default Role AssignmentAdministrators can now configure default organisation roles directly when setting up or editing Single Sign-On (SSO) Identity Providers (e.g. Microsoft 365). When new employees sign in via corporate SSO for the first time, they are automatically auto-provisioned with the designated roles and capabilities (such as task management or operational views) without requiring manual post-login intervention.
Metrics Warehouse & External Database Schema FixesResolved an issue where external database connections with dedicated schemas (such as the Metrics Warehouse) would encounter errors when loading records. Added automated schema verification to connection test routines, ensuring target tables in warehouse schemas are always correctly resolved.
API & Role-Based Access Control HardeningStrengthened API authorization stack-wide to strictly enforce Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and capability checks on all platform endpoints. API keys and automation service accounts are now strictly restricted to their explicitly assigned capabilities (such as read-only vs write permissions), preventing unauthorized data access or modifications across corporate integrations.
Granular Company & Customer Master Data RolesAdded dedicated permission capabilities for Company directories and Customer wholesale accounts in the Admin Role Manager, allowing administrators to configure tailored read and write access for site automation and data integration flows.
Unified Requisition & Purchasing Workflow EngineIntroduced a complete multi-line requisition and purchase authorization portal for all physical equipment, IT hardware, factory spares, and uniforms! Features a searchable standard goods catalogue with indicative pricing, customizable options (storage, screen size, apparel sizes), unlisted/custom item requests with quote document uploads, line-by-line executive approvals with quantity adjustments and rejection notes, and secure 1-click email approvals for Microsoft 365 / Outlook.
Sourcing & Fulfilment QueuesAdded dedicated sourcing queues for IT, Factory Maintenance, and Uniform Warehouses. Fulfilment teams can easily issue items from stock (automatically unlocking replenishment reorder authority) or record external ERP Purchase Order numbers, supplier names, and tracking notes with automated dispatch notifications sent to requesters.
Requester Tracking PortalEmployees can track their active and historical requisitions in real time, view approval decisions per line item, and check delivery and dispatch statuses directly from the new My Requisitions page.
Truck Run Sheets & Payroll PortalIntroduced a dedicated Payroll section in the main sidebar and launched the Truck Run Sheets Management Portal! Features pay-period KPI summary cards, a driver-grouped payroll summary view with live totals for shift hours, fleet kilometres, split counts, hookups, and trailer washouts, quick pay-cycle presets (Current Week, Previous Pay Week, Month to Date), and one-click export for both aggregated payroll summary CSVs and detailed stop-by-stop logs.
Truck Run Sheets Knowledge Base GuideAdded a comprehensive operational user guide to the Help Centre covering driver daily shift workflows, 4-point statutory safety checklists, odometer logging, stop entries, draft saves, and payroll review and data ingestion procedures.
Task & Action Management HubLaunched a dedicated, mobile-optimised Task & Action Management Hub! Features field-ready quick observation capture directly from your phone camera and microphone voice dictation, flexible shared or private task registers, a live Kanban board and master action register table with CSV export, overdue defect tracking, and an auditable two-step managerial verification loop with photo evidence.
AI Agent Integration & Model Context Protocol (MCP) ServerIntroduced a high-performance Model Context Protocol (MCP) server endpoint (/api/mcp) to safely connect external AI assistants (such as Midfield AI) to Digital Labs! Allows AI agents to directly inspect holding yard allocations and mob head counts, cold storage carton inventory traces, active export shipping voyages, and purchasing pipelines within strict role-based capability and organisation boundaries.
Automatic Organisation Context & Navigation FixesImproved session handling to automatically resolve a user's default active organisation upon login and membership assignment, ensuring all assigned operational capabilities and sidebar menu items (including Customers, Vendors, and Employees) load reliably on fresh accounts.

Version 2.9

Multi-Tenant Single Sign-On (SSO) & Multi-Step LoginIntroduced support for external OpenID Connect identity providers (e.g. Microsoft 365 / Entra ID, Okta, Google Workspace) configured per organisation! Features an intelligent, identifier-first multi-step login interface that automatically routes corporate emails to your company's identity provider, full account pre-provisioning with assigned roles in User Management without requiring passwords, automated invitation fulfillment, holding states for newly auto-enrolled accounts, and strict offboarding security.
Enterprise Markdown, Mermaid Diagrams & Math FormulasOverhauled our Markdown rendering engine across the entire platform and Help Centre! Operational SOPs, architecture maps, and AI Tasker responses now render live vector Mermaid.js flowcharts and state diagrams, GitHub-style alert and compliance callout cards ([!NOTE], [!TIP], [!WARNING], [!IMPORTANT], [!CAUTION]), interactive code blocks with language tags and 1-click copy buttons, LaTeX mathematical formulas ($...$), interactive checklists (- [x]), and collapsible AI reasoning traces.
Two-Step GS1 Wizard & Dynamic Prefix SizingTransformed the GS1 Guided Builder into a friendly two-step wizard! Step 1 lets you choose your packaging level (Retail Consumer Unit, Outer Carton, Logistics Pallet, or Carcase Tag), while Step 2 guides data entry with dynamic Company Prefix calculation (6 to 11 digits), automatic left-padding of short SKUs and pallet serials, live Modulo-10 check digit math, single-click calendar pickers, and quick-fill prefix chips.
Markdown Heading Entity NormalisationFixed heading entity decoding in our documentation reader, ensuring titles and section headers with ampersands and special characters render cleanly without raw encoding glitches, alongside tighter inline code badge typography.
Markdown Typography & Entity NormalisationEnhanced inline markdown rendering in our guides and knowledge base. Quotation marks and special characters now decode cleanly, italics formatting using single asterisks is rendered natively, and article navigation links across Previous and Next guides now consistently feature interactive brand colours.
Markdown Rendering Upgrade (Code Blocks & Tables)Enhanced our built-in SafeMarkdown renderer to natively parse multi-line fenced code blocks, ASCII hierarchy diagrams, formatted tables, and blockquotes with clean borders, monospace code highlighting, and zero raw symbol glitches.
Guided GS1 Barcode Builder & Dedicated Sub-FieldsRefined the barcode generator with an intuitive, guided GS1 creation workflow! Freeform & standard barcodes are now the default landing view, while the GS1 Guided Builder lets you construct barcodes step-by-step with zero guesswork. Features guided sub-field breakdown for GTIN-14 and SSCC (with indicator level selectors, company prefix, and product SKU fields), instant real-time Modulo-10 check digit calculation, a single visual calendar date picker, simplified decimal weights with unit badges, and clean country selection.
Interactive GS1 Barcode Builder & APIIntroduced a brand new guided GS1 barcode builder tool and REST API! Features quick-start templates for pallets (SSCC), cartons, and carcases, smart input helpers with automatic Modulo-10 check digit calculation, date pickers, weight scaling, and ISO country lookups. You can live-preview both Human-Readable Interpretation (HRI) and raw <GS>-delimited barcode streams, auto-optimize AI ordering for compact printing, and render vector SVG/PNG barcodes across GS1-128, GS1 DataMatrix, and GS1 QR Code formats.
Universal GS1 Barcode Decoding & Breakdown GuideExpanded our barcode reader and breakdown engine to support complete, spec-grade GS1 logistics units (pallets) and multi-AI barcodes. The Interactive Decoding Guide now dynamically segments, color-codes, and translates any combination of GS1 Application Identifiers—including SSCC logistics pallet IDs (00), Trade GTIN-14 (01), Batch/Lot (10), Production Dates (11), Best Before (15) and Expiration Dates (17), Carton Serials (21), Item & Block Counts (37/30), Net Weights (310x), Logistic Gross Weights (330x), and ISO Country of Origin codes (422)—providing clear, human-readable breakdowns right on screen.
Help & Knowledge Base CentreLaunched a brand new Help & Knowledge Base section directly in the main navigation! Features rich, step-by-step user guides explaining end-to-end livestock procurement, consignment and mob hierarchies, transport and third-party trucking scheduling, and saleyard XML settlement workflows. We've also embedded direct user guide buttons into operational headers across Consignments, Mobs, Trip Runs, and Saleyard Markets so you can access contextual instructions on demand.
Farm Quick-Registration & Instant SelectionWhen quick-registering a new farm PIC inside the Consignments modal, the newly created property is now immediately available in the farm selector and pre-selected on your active form without needing to close or reopen the modal.
Multiple Source PICs & Pickup LocationsYou can now add multiple originating farm PICs, NVD serials, and specific loading ramps/pickup locations to a single consignment. If a farm property has specific loading docks or ramps registered, you can choose the exact pickup point directly from the consignment form.
Consignment Lines EditingEnabled full category and headcount line-item management inside the Edit Consignment modal. You can now add new category lines, modify headcounts, or remove lines on existing consignments with all changes synchronised automatically.
Carrier & Transporter DropdownsBroadened transporter selections on the Trip Runs dispatch board and Trucks fleet screen. All active transport suppliers (including those categorized with a type of other or carrier) are now loaded completely across all pages and selectable without restriction.
Planned Mobs Filter & Category Pre-fillingAdded the 'Planned' status to the Livestock Mobs filter dropdown, making newly generated consignment mobs easy to find and monitor. We also updated category resolution so category dropdowns in mob forms reliably display all available options.
Market Consignment FlexibilityMade counterparty payee optional for Market/Saleyard-sourced consignments, allowing logistics and pickup planning to begin immediately before settlement XML files are received.
Livestock Purchasing Table ResponsivenessOverhauled the purchases breakdown inside the Saleyard Market Session Details modal. The category, headcount, and pricing columns are now proportioned cleanly to fit comfortably inside the dialog without triggering unnecessary horizontal scrollbars.
Consignments Purchase Session TidinessThe Purchase Session selector now only appears when you are booking a Market-sourced consignment, keeping the form clean and relevant for Farm Direct and Agent bookings.
Properties & Farms Registry ReliabilityTidied up the property creation plumbing behind the scenes, so registering a new property from the Admin console works reliably again, and quick-registering a new farm (PIC) from the Add Consignment modal no longer trips up when you leave the address blank.
Consignments Origin & TraceabilityRenamed the Farm Direct section to 'Origin & Traceability' and streamlined booking by making NVD serials optional. We have removed the legacy counterparty quick-create clutters from this modal to ensure all supplier counterparties flow from our financial ERP integration. Plus, we've introduced an optional contact person capture flow right inside the Farm/PIC quick-registration submodal, making it incredibly easy to record who you talked to on the farm during the booking call.
Consignments to Mobs (The Missing Link)Introduced a seamless, one-click 'Generate Mobs' action on the Consignment details modal! You can now instantly convert paper purchase agreement lines into active, trackable planned livestock mobs in one go. The detail modal also gains a dedicated 'Generated Mobs' panel displaying all linked mobs with live headcount and status badges so you can check their state at a glance.
Yard Manager Pool Safety (No More Flooding)Connected the Yard Manager's unallocated pool and the Mobs list filters directly to real physical lifecycle states. Mobs that are merely planned on paper (such as freshly generated consignment mobs) or actively in-transit on a truck are now safely kept off your yard occupancy screen, and will only appear there when they are physically marked as arrived on-site.
Consignments Intelligence & Workspace PersistenceReordered form fields in the Add Consignment modal to place Species first, followed by Source Channel, and finally Counterparty Payee (which is now a strictly required field). Also introduced a global workspace species memory flag! Selecting a species filter on the list or in the modal dynamically remembers your active livestock species in local storage, automatically pre-filling forms and filters as you jump between pages to streamline data entry.
Consignments Filter DropdownsAdded standard, responsive filter dropdowns to the Livestock Consignments table. You can now filter your master purchase agreements instantly by Species (such as Beef or Sheep) and Source Channel (such as Market, Agent, or Farm Direct) right above the main list, matching our other registry tables.
Searchable Select (Smart Limits & Instant Selection)Upgraded our searchable dropdown menus across the entire application—including the Consignments modal, Trip Runs dispatcher, and Trucks registries—with smart option limits and instant selection. If a dropdown has a very large list of options, it now helpfuly prompts you to enter at least three characters before searching, preventing lag and clutter. For smaller lists, it still filters instantly on your first character. We have also resolved a race condition when clicking options, making sure your selections are instantly and perfectly filled into the field every single time.
Interactive Cut Planner EnhancementsLifted the product selection restriction so you can now choose any parent product from your registry as a root node to plan transformations. If no cut plans or assembly recipes are currently defined for the chosen product, a helpful guide appears directing you on how to configure them.
Variant Packaging & Bill of Materials (BOM)Added a brand new form section for 'Packaging & Bill of Materials (BOM)' when creating or editing product variants. You can now link specific Lid, Bag, Vacuum Liner, and Carton/Box packaging components. These linked items are also clearly displayed on the variant details card using their human-readable names and SKUs.
Counterparties Registry (Pristinely Organised Directory)We have completely renamed our legacy Vendors directory to 'Counterparties'! This unified directory now beautifully hosts both Accounts Payable suppliers (vendors) and Accounts Receivable buyers (customers) in one single, high-fidelity screen. We've introduced dual-role compatibility so any business partner who both sells to us and buys from us is merged cleanly into a single card without cluttering your system.
Pristine External API Bulk Ingestion (Gold Standard Integration)Designed a robust, secure push-based API for both Counterparties and Employees! Digital Labs is now fully passive and decoupled from legacy on-premise UKG and Epicor database connections. Outside automated ETL tools can now securely push and bulk-import up-to-date employee profiles and business partners directly into Digital Labs, ensuring sub-millisecond barcode checkout response times and solid offline reliability on the floor.
Employee Directory Manual CleanupDecommissioned the manual 'Sync Directory' button on the Employees page! Since counterparties and employees now update seamlessly and automatically behind-the-scenes via our gold-standard passive API pushes, administrators no longer need to click manual sync buttons to keep local records fresh.
Interactive Barcode Decoding Guide & Raw EntryUpgraded our Barcode Reader with a brand new interactive decoding guide and raw copy-paste entry box! You can now paste raw 48-character GS1-128 or EAN-13 barcode strings directly into a clean, monospaced input field and click 'Analyse'. Once entered, expand our educational guide to see your barcode dynamically color-coded. Hover or browse through the segments to see step-by-step visual highlighting showing exactly where the GS1 Country Prefix, Company Prefix, Product SKU, Check Digits, Net Weights, Dates, and Serial Numbers reside inside the raw digits.

Version 2.8

Searchable Select (Usability Improvements)Upgraded our searchable dropdown menus to make searching incredibly smooth and fast! Clicking inside any searchable dropdown now automatically clears the search field to let you type immediately, while dynamically keeping the previously selected value visible as a clean placeholder. If you decide not to change the value and click away, the previous selection is instantly restored.
Systems Register, Account Access, and Company Assets (Brand New Suite)Introduced a complete, streamlined Systems & Assets management console! You can now maintain a master register of corporate platforms, network-level server hosts, and specific abattoir scale VMs under a brand-new 'Systems & Assets' sidebar section. Assign internal sponsors to each system, support vendors, and dedicated third-party support contacts. Map who holds active account access credentials (including time-bound approvals and automatic expiration reviews to mitigate security risks), and track company-issued physical assets like laptops, mobile phones, and tablets checked out to employees. This creates a unified offboarding checklist when employees leave, helping HR recover physical hardware and disable digital accounts simultaneously. Also, implemented a seamless, bi-directional deep-linking loop across the entire suite—including clickable cards in the Employee profile where you can hover and click directly on physical gear or system logons to jump instantly to their respective ledger page and open their detailed record on load.
Manual Vendor Entry with External IDAdded the ability to manually input and view the External Vendor ID (Vendor Code) when creating or editing vendors on both the Admin and Operations screens! This ensures that manually added vendors can be matched and automatically updated during subsequent synchronisations with external ERP accounts systems using the synchronisation API. Also updated search capabilities so you can instantly search for vendors by their External ID.
Contacts Master Directory (Brand New Screen)Introduced a beautiful, centralised Contacts Directory under Logistics! Operators can now manage key personnel profiles — full names, role titles, phone numbers, and email addresses — and optionally link them to Properties (PICs), physical Locations, or Payee Vendors on a single row. This enables dispatchers, buyers, and clerks to immediately see who to contact at any specific farm loading ramp or corporate division without maintaining disconnected, duplicate phone sheets.
Operational Locations & LogisticsMoved the Locations Management directory out of the Admin Console and right into the Logistics operational suite! Locations represent physical loading ramps, paddock gates, or warehouse docks where transport drivers stop to load and unload livestock or cargo. Bringing Locations to the front-line Logistics section, backed by dedicated permissions, empowers dispatchers and receiving operators to register and edit loading points and precise GPS coordinates on the fly without needing full system administrator access.
ERP Company Code ManagementExposed the `erpCompanyCode` field on the legal Company details screen in the Admin Console! Administrators can now view, search, and configure ERP Company Code values (such as 'CBMcKen') on company records, preventing Fail-Hard errors when bulk synchronising vendors or customers from Epicor accounts systems.
Interactive Cut Planner (Brand New Screen)Explore disassembly cut trees and assembly recipes with our brand new interactive Cut Planner screen! Pick any transformable product — like a lamb carcase — and click through the available transformation steps at each branch. Every decision consumes the input, reveals the outputs, and tracks running totals for labour minutes and expected yields (with optional start weight), so you can compare cutting strategies at your fingertips before committing on the floor.
Live Product Lookup from Barcode ScansThe Barcode Reader now instantly recognises scanned products! Whenever you scan a GS1 carton or carcase barcode, the reader checks it against your product registry in real time and displays the matched product variant, SKU, and target market right on the scan card.
Products Module (Brand New)Introduced our brand new Products master data suite! You can now manage product specifications and their market-specific SKU variants in one clean system. One physical product (like a boneless lamb leg) is defined once as a specification, and each market variant (such as US Costco, Middle East Halal, or China Export) gets its own unique 5-digit SKU and barcode with tailored packaging, tare weights, and labelling — ending the days of duplicating entire product records just to sell into a new market.
Universal Product SupportProducts of any shape or size are now supported — cartons of meat, whole carcases, bulk truckloads of grain, bags of milk powder, and even packaging materials like carton bases, lids, and vacuum liners all live in one unified, easy-to-search registry.
Transformation Plans (Cut Plans & Recipes)Laid the foundation for disassembly cut plans and assembly recipes. Transformation steps record what products are consumed, what is produced, expected yields, and labour units — the building blocks for future cut-tree planning and margin optimisation on the boning room floor.
Industrial-Strength Barcode ScanningOur barcode engine has been completely upgraded to a full GS1 specification parser. It now correctly reads carton, carcase, retail (EAN-13), and pallet (SSCC) barcodes from every Midfield site, validates check digits, and handles batch numbers and serials flawlessly — including a fix for serial numbers that previously could be mis-read when they contained certain digit pairs.
Safer Database SeedingThe database seed command is now fully re-runnable — it only ever inserts information that isn't already there, never duplicates, and never deletes. Destructive database commands (initialise/drop) are now additionally protected behind a strict type-to-confirm safety gate.
NVD Document Analysis Email FieldAdded support for extracting contact email addresses from LPA Cattle National Vendor Declarations! The AI vision engine now automatically detects, parses, and sanitises email addresses written on uploaded documents, allowing operators to audit, correct, and export them natively in the verification console and CSV spreadsheets.
Dynamic Vendor & Customer Registry FiltersUpgraded the Vendors master directory in the Admin Console with robust, real-time filtering! You can now filter counterparties based on their Associated Company and dynamically generated classification types (like GROWER or AGENT), which are now loaded natively from live database entries. Added an Active Status filter (Active Only, Inactive Only, or All Statuses) and set the filtering bar to expand automatically on load, making it effortless to browse and map your entire multi-tenant AP Vendor and AR Customer roster.
AI Task Template Import FixResolved an issue in the Admin Console where uploading or importing an AI Task template from a JSON configuration file would freeze and none of the buttons on the import modal (such as Import as Duplicate, Overwrite Existing, or Cancel) would function. You can now cleanly upload, validate, import, or duplicate custom AI checklist templates.

Version 2.7

User Administrator Status & Type SelectionAdded the ability for system administrators to directly set and manage a user's administrator status (User Type) from both the user creation and edit modals in the UI. Administrators can now promote or demote user accounts to ADMIN, USER, or SYSTEM roles using a clean select dropdown, backed by secure validation, database updates, and full integration test coverage.
Interactive API Playground FixResolved a service error on the '/admin/routes' page where the Interactive API Playground (Swagger) failed to load. The route registry now correctly and smoothly parses all platform API schemas, ensuring that developer documentation remains complete, interactive, and functional across the console.
Dispatch Map and Buyer Interface Pagination CompatibilityResolved a critical interface crash on the Interactive Dispatch Map and JIT Weekly Planner when clicking the 'Dispatch' button or resolving site delivery coordinates, and on the Buyer screen when retrieving livestock categories. Standardised all operational listings to safely parse both paginated datasets and legacy flat arrays, and updated key API testing suites to support the new, high-performance paginated envelope format.
Yard Manager Bi-directional URL Parameters & Fullscreen SyncAdded complete support for synchronising the Yard Manager page filters (such as Site, Yard Type, Yard Area, and Species) and fullscreen mode with browser URL parameters in real time. Changing any dropdown or layout setting instantly updates your browser's address bar without reloading the page. You can now copy and share links directly, and opening them on another device—such as a shared big-screen dashboard—will cleanly override local cache settings to load the exact same view.
Operational Pagination Compatibility and RobustnessResolved an issue across several operational screens—including Consignments, Consignment Lines, Mobs, Purchases, Loss Events, and the JIT Weekly Planner—where opening modals or trying to filter entries would fail or cause the page to freeze due to updated, highly-efficient paginated API response structures. Added bulletproof compatibility logic to ensure all operational front-ends seamlessly parse both legacy flat arrays and modern, high-speed paginated datasets, providing a smooth and uninterrupted experience.
Cascading Role Deletion and WarningsUpgraded our Role Management system to support safe cascading deletions. When you delete a role that is still assigned to active users, the system now displays a helpful warning modal listing the affected users and confirming whether you would like to proceed. If confirmed, the system deletes the role, cleanly detaches all user assignments, and immediately invalidates their active platform capability caches so their permissions are updated instantly.
Admin Console Form Update FixesResolved a frustrating pattern across our entire admin suite—including the Users, Sites, Locations, and Database Connections controllers—where saving changes to an entry (such as making a user inactive or renaming a site) would fail if optional fields (like middle names, contact info, descriptions, or GPS coordinates) were left empty. All admin forms now handle empty or undefined parameters smoothly, allowing you to update accounts and facilities with confidence.
Roles Editor Update FixFixed an issue where renaming or editing a role with an empty description failed. The system now seamlessly allows modifying role labels without requiring any description text.
Barcode Reader and Barcode Generator SeparationSplit the Barcode tools' access control. The Barcode Reader now has its own dedicated capability, allowing organisations to manage who can scan and decode barcodes independently from who can generate them.
Dedicated Shipping & Containers AccessIntroduced brand new, granular capabilities for our Shipping and Containers module. This ensures sea voyage logs, commercial cargo manifests, and container security seals are managed separately from domestic road transport logistics.
Administrative API HardeningHardened and restricted high-privilege administrative APIs (including email configurations, database connections, and user invitation systems). These are now locked behind strict admin credentials and capabilities, completely resolving security exposures.
Fleet Asset Security AlignmentAligned our vehicle registration and fleet editing features to require explicit truck management capabilities rather than broader scheduling capabilities.
Yard Movements Clean-upStreamlined our backend ledger system by removing unused historical capability keys to keep permissions lightweight and clean.
AI Tasker Capability RefinementUpgraded our permission naming and descriptions to clearly separate everyday operators from system administrators. Standard users can now be assigned a streamlined 'Execute AI Tasks' capability that allows them to run checklist templates and upload images without having access to configure or alter the underlying prompts.
User Editor Roles and Organisations FixCorrected an issue where the available roles and organisations lists in the User Edit modal were displaying as empty. The frontend has been updated to strictly assert the latest paginated API contract structures, ensuring reliable, real-time loading of administrative entities while preventing future silent data omissions.
Roles Info Banner RefinementUpdated the Roles management screen to include a clear, descriptive overview of our default-deny permission model. The banner now explains that all system access is denied by default, and that administrators can assign one or more roles to a user to explicitly grant them the specific capabilities required to perform actions across the platform.
Premium Icon StandardisationConducted a comprehensive sweep across all user-facing front-end components and page templates to replace inconsistent raw emojis with professional, high-fidelity Tabler Icons (including on the X-Ray Analysis lookup card, Carton Movement timelines, Cadmium eligibility grids, and status message panels). Upgraded our portable Card structures to cleanly support custom inline icon nodes, ensuring perfect design cohesion, strict functional styling, and a modern, polished visual experience.
Server-Side Search & Pagination for Admin ConsolesRefactored our administrative management interfaces for Database Connections, Email Templates, and Livestock Categories. These systems now support lightning-fast server-side pagination with SQL LIMIT and OFFSET, alongside live, server-side filtering via search parameters. This dramatically reduces network traffic, reduces memory overhead, and improves device responsiveness, keeping everything fully aligned with our database-agnostic schemas.
Carton X-Ray Lookup EnhancementsRe-aligned the security rules for our X-Ray Analysis tool to use a clean, read-only capability key, and corrected its description to reflect carton-level scan results and image searches rather than carcass inspection metadata.
Dedicated Platform Capabilities & System Routes DirectorySeparated our system paths and user permission directories into two dedicated consoles. Under '/admin/routes', administrators can now browse dynamically registered Page and API endpoints with their corresponding RBAC rules, alongside our interactive Swagger Playground. Under the new '/admin/capabilities' page (accessible to role managers), you can easily browse and search the full descriptive catalog of platform capability keys when designing and assigning custom roles.
Strict Capabilities & Access SecurityUpgraded our platform's permission gating to utilize strict, type-safe semantic capabilities. This completely resolves permission conflicts on key operational pages like the Yard Manager, ensuring your custom-assigned roles work flawlessly and instantaneously. Operators are now protected by native compile-time safety and clean, helpful permission panels.
Simple Password Generator UtilityAdded a brand new password generator command-line utility. This tool allows system administrators to easily generate cryptographically secure, simple passwords of any specified length. It purposefully avoids confusing special characters (such as symbols and punctuation) to produce clean, easily readable alphanumeric credentials.
Truncation-Resistant AI Thinking ParserUpgraded our AI Tasker to gracefully handle situations where standard models run out of token budgets mid-thought. If the AI's internal scratchpad is cut off before generating a closing tag, our backend will now dynamically recover the partial thoughts, enclose them inside our clean 'Show AI Thinking Process' accordion, and provide a helpful notification to the operator suggesting a higher token budget setting.
Prompted AI Reasoning & Scratchpad AccordionFully upgraded our AI Tasker to support a dedicated, step-by-step thinking phase for all tasks when reasoning effort is enabled. If standard, cost-effective models (such as Google Gemini 2.5 Flash) are selected, the system will dynamically instruct and parse the AI's internal thought processes behind a beautiful, collapsible 'Show AI Thinking Process' panel, keeping your final audit checklists incredibly clean, precise, and free of confusing 'thinking out loud' text.
Deployment Stability & Performance ProtectionStreamlined our server-side system loaders to prevent unexpected memory exhaustion and application crashes during cloud server deployments. Highly optimised our background Docker container images, ensuring incredibly fast, smooth, and robust application compilation and lightning-fast rebuild speeds.
Beautiful Markdown Responses in AI TaskerEnabled high-fidelity markdown rendering across both active execution screens and historical conversation ledgers. Inspection statuses, bullet-point audits, typographical warnings, and checklist criteria are now displayed natively with clean typography, styled dividers, monospace codes, and bold highlights, eliminating hard-to-read raw symbols.
AI Task Customisation & Admin ConsoleUpgraded our AI Tasker by moving all hardcoded filesystem task templates directly into our PostgreSQL database. We have introduced a beautiful new AI Task Templates administrative console under '/admin/ai-tasks' equipped with a structured, visual input field builder. Non-technical administrators can now easily design operational system prompts, manage uploader configurations, adjust response formatting, and customise operator form fields on the fly without writing any code or requiring software deploys.
Database-Backed Tenancy for AI TasksFully isolated AI task libraries per organisation, ensuring that each business tenant can establish their own proprietary suite of operational checks. Old historical conversation logs have been streamlined to natively link directly to our newly structured task tables.
Username Account Provisioning UpgradesOverhauled our Active Directory account generator tool by adding support for new vital fields including Employee IDs, corporate Telephones, and internal Office Phone Extensions. Standardised all generated mobile numbers to comply with strict Australian '+614' patterns.
Live Employee Directory SearchIntegrated the generator directly with our secure UKG Employee Directory database cache. Administrators can now start typing any name or Employee ID to autocomplete and auto-populate their profile details with a single click.
Printer PIN Conflict Pre-ChecksThe generated script now includes intelligent Active Directory conflict pre-checks for printer PIN codes. If the chosen PIN code is already active elsewhere in the directory, the script will automatically fail-fast to prevent database corruption.
Employee Welcome Sheet & PDF DownloadsRedesigned the printable employee credentials welcome sheet to fully fit high-quality A4 dimensions. Supports all newly introduced phone and directory parameters in a secure, well-structured layout, and renamed the trigger to 'Print Welcome Sheet / Save as PDF' for better clarity.

Version 2.6

Digital Run SheetsEliminated the need for paper Daily Run Sheets by creating a completely digital, mobile-first interface for our truck driver operators. Employed drivers can now log in on their phones, easily create today's sheet, record pre-trip checks for safety (oil, fuel, and water), log odometer readings, and add card-styled rows for each stop through the day (customer, location, pickups, deliveries, hooks, and unhooks). Submitting a sheet locks it instantly, acting as a digital signature.
Payroll Run Sheet PortalCreated a desktop-friendly dashboard for payroll and management staff to browse, search, and review submitted run sheets. Management can filter by specific dates, status, or search by Driver Employee IDs. Clicking a sheet opens a beautiful detailed viewer to review safety checks, stops, and margins scribbles.
Payroll CSV ExportEnabled downloading driver run sheets as highly formatted, pivot-friendly CSV sheets with repeated header columns, making it extremely easy for payroll staff to import data directly into external pay award calculators, spreadsheet pivots, or BI suites.
Enhanced Capability-Based Sidebar & GatingFully migrated all Utilities and Screens sidebar lists to use semantic capabilities instead of legacy permission models. The sidebar now automatically and cleanly customises itself based on your account's exact permissions—low-privilege drivers only see what they need, while payroll administrators get full access, making mobile navigation extremely clean.
Settings Modals PolishOverhauled the administrative system settings modals to prevent false alerts about unsaved changes. The form now intelligently detects if any typed changes have been reverted back to their original state, and hardened input fields against aggressive browser password managers that tried to auto-fill secret keys when simply viewing settings.
Encrypted Document Extraction KeyUpgraded the Document Extraction AI API key setting to be fully encrypted at rest inside our databases. Existing unencrypted API key records have been safely migrated, and future configuration edits will be automatically protected as masked passwords.
Provider-Generic AI Gateway SettingsRefactored our AI and Language Models orchestrator to support multiple providers (OpenRouter or OpenAI Direct) through a beautiful generic configuration panel, matching the same streamlined layout as our Document Extraction AI. Added dropdown provider selection, and conditional metadata fields that automatically show and hide based on your active AI service provider.

Version 2.5

AI-Powered Document Ingestion & Field ExtractorIntroduced a highly advanced, web-based Document Analyzer micro-app. Operators can now choose a document type, drag and drop multiple PDF documents (or ZIP archives containing PDFs), and extract detailed structured data on the fly using multimodal AI vision capabilities on OpenRouter. Standard users see and manage their own submissions, while admins have global access to audit and verify extracted fields.
Batch Verification Audit ConsoleIntegrated a beautiful side-by-side administrative audit screen with secure original PDF preview streaming and live-editable extraction form fields. Fields where the AI has low confidence are automatically highlighted in orange, allowing administrative staff to correct and approve document structures with minimal effort, syncing approved data directly to the database.
Universal Document Extraction APIExposed a secure, high-performance external API endpoint at '/api/document-analysis/submit' supporting both synchronous blocking and asynchronous polling workflows for direct third-party, supplier, or transport driver app integrations.

Version 2.4

Employee Directory & HierarchyEnabled browser-native deep linking across the Employee Directory. You can now bookmark or share links directly to any employee profile. Additionally, the Direct Manager field is now an interactive link, and we have introduced a beautifully styled, scrollable Direct Reports panel within the profile modal, allowing you to navigate seamlessly up and down your organisation's reporting hierarchy with a single click.
AI Task Orchestration & History LedgerAdded complete integration test coverage for AI Tasker execution, template listing, and conversation history ledger endpoints, utilizing secure simulated AI model replies and uploaded attachment tracking.
Database Connection ManagerAdded rigorous CRUD verification tests for runtime-configurable database connection records, covering live configuration loading, reloading connection parameters, and automated connection test diagnostics with real database handshakes.
System Health DiagnosticsCovered system liveness, health status, and utility diagnostics with integration tests that verify database connection status, memory allocation, and storage reachability under active session contexts.
Codebase Hygiene & RefactoringDecoupled and refactored the shipping voyage portal by extracting browser-native photo compressors, form submodals, and tab list renderers into independent modules, keeping the code exceptionally neat, fast, and fully compliant with MDL's strict Code-Perfect line budget of 1,000 lines.
Web Push Notifications & Subscription SettingsEnabled browser-native push notifications, allowing operators to receive real-time updates and urgent alerts directly on their devices even when the application is closed. Introduces an interactive Push Notifications subscription toggle under user Profile settings, enabling secure registration of standard browser Service Worker push channels powered by @pushforge/builder using raw Web Crypto payload encryption.
Interactive GIS Mapping & Custom LayersIntroduced a robust, native interactive GIS mapping dashboard under the new Mapping navigation header. Users can now establish custom organisational layers (defining points, line segments, or area boundaries styled with custom theme colours), and trace live geometries directly on the map. Features a zero-dependency drawing engine that supports plotting, flight tracking, and element deletion with direct PostGIS database synchronisation.
Interactive Dispatch MapIntegrated an interactive geographic dispatch board map utilizing Leaflet.js directly inside the Livestock Planner app. Users can now review all pending direct farm bookings represented as pins on the map, pan and zoom geographically, or click list cards to fly the map focus onto individual paddocks and suppliers. If exact GPS coordinates have not yet been configured in the database, the system dynamically calculates fallback coordinate rings from the nearest destination site to ensure they remain cleanly visible on the dashboard.
Unified Planner Navigation & FiltersUpgraded the Livestock Planner application to implement standardized accessible Preact Tabs. Persistent global filters for Species and Destination Site are now elevated to the top of the board, remaining beautifully fixed and interactive across the Daily Arrivals table, the Stocktake Matrix, the weekly JIT Forecast timelines, and the new Map dashboard.
Livestock Just-In-Time (JIT) LogisticsImplemented the backend transaction engine and API orchestration layer for atomic mob division and movement dispatching, enabling operators to split large herds and dispatch them as independent transit movement trip runs in a single transaction while guaranteeing perfect biosecurity ledger compliance.
Homepage PolishStandardised all homepage cards to align perfectly in width and design, replaced old raw emojis with elegant, custom gradient-coloured Tabler Icons, and optimised hover effects and rotating background animations for a premium experience on mobile devices and desktops alike.
Yard Manager Kiosk & Navigation EnhancementsAdded persistent full-screen state supporting dedicated monitors and kiosks. Your preference is remembered across page refreshes and browser restarts, or you can boot directly into the giant screen view using a shortcut with a '?fullscreen=true' URL parameter. Also added a beautiful breadcrumb trail displaying Site > Yard Type > Yard Area for instant context on large displays, and made the full-screen button more subtle.
Theme SupportEasily switch between Light, Dark, and System modes to suit viewing preferences. Our styling system has been overhauled to ensure form inputs, select dropdowns, text fields, and custom icons beautifully and cleanly adapt to dark mode across all screens.
Livestock Management GroundworkThe foundation is now in place for a complete livestock management experience, establishing the underlying structures needed for properties, transit movements, National Vendor Declarations (NVDs), pricing grids, loss events, and suspect declarations. While this system is not yet finished or ready for use, the groundwork is complete and ready for user screens and features to be built out in future updates.
NotificationsAdded a new notification system with a bell icon in the navigation bar, making it easy to see important updates across all organisations.
Sidebar FavouritesNavigating the platform is now even faster with alphabetically sorted menus and a new favourites feature to pin most-used pages for quick access.
Form ProtectionPrevent accidental data loss with new close-confirmation prompts on forms when trying to exit with unsaved changes.
Sticky Modal FootersAll platform modals have been refactored to implement type-safe sticky footer actions. Form buttons and key decisions (such as Save, Cancel, or Delete) now remain beautifully fixed at the bottom of your screen during scrolling, ensuring essential controls are never hidden or lost on longer forms or smaller devices.
System Health Dashboard OverhaulThe System Health monitoring screen has been beautifully redesigned to offer maximum clarity and a premium dark mode layout. Service status is now split cleanly into critical system services and external database connections, organised in a clean, space-efficient grid. If a non-critical external connection experiences issues, the system status will downgrade gracefully to a warning state, preventing false alarm unhealthy states, and the memory bar now explains the dynamic V8 heap allocation.
Yard Manager Dark ModeOverhauled the Yard Manager grid, unallocated board, and yard selection interfaces to fully support dark mode. Mob category colours are now generated using responsive CSS lightness variables to produce high-contrast, premium dark-pastel backgrounds, and all card texts, head counts, and yard boxes dynamically transition their colours and state borders using semantic tokens.
Under the HoodAn extensive round of behind-the-scenes refactoring, bug fixes, security updates, and performance improvements to keep everything running smoothly and reliably.
