Summary
This release brings Compliance capabilities into Mapal Manager, adds Bluetooth thermometer support for faster and more accurate temperature recording, and delivers multiple usability improvements across menu settings, Shift Finder, forms, permissions, and deviations. It also includes stability refinements to ensure clearer task status and more responsive feedback during deviation actions.
Enhancements
Compliance in Mapal Manager
Compliance features are now available in Mapal Manager, including a dashboard, Daily Schedule, forms (including downcooling and reheating), deviation management, waste recording, evidence gallery, offline mode for tasks and forms, and handling for paused or closed Business Units.
Bluetooth thermometers – Readings straight into the task
Managers can take temperatures using a Bluetooth thermometer. Temperature tasks in the Daily Schedule and downcooling and reheating forms record the reading automatically.
Why this matters
Automatic capture reduces manual input and helps prevent errors.
Key benefits
- Faster checks: readings are captured instantly.
- More accurate: reduces typing mistakes.
- Where it counts: Daily Schedule temperature tasks, downcooling, and reheating.
Improvements
Menu – Control visibility of What's New and Knowledge Base
Administrators can decide whether What's New and Knowledge Base appear in Mapal Manager for each operator.
Why this matters
Helps companies keep the Menu focused on the resources they want teams to use.
Key benefits
- Your call: show or hide What's New and Knowledge Base per operator.
- One switch: both items are controlled together.
- Default friendly: content remains visible unless changed by an administrator.
Shift Finder – Your filters stay put
Shift Finder now preserves your filters and parameters during your session, so you return to the same view after navigating elsewhere.
Why this matters
Reduces repetitive setup and saves time for managers who check Shift Finder multiple times a day.
Key benefits
- Set once: filters persist until you log out.
- Pick up where you left off: return to the same filtered view.
Permissions – The right actions for each manager
Compliance-related actions in Mapal Manager now respect each manager's permissions. For example, Deviation Management is hidden for managers without access, and only authorised managers can edit past waste entries.
Forms – Act on a deviation from the form
If a form task has an open deviation, tapping it opens the deviation so you can resolve it directly.
Forms – Full history in each task's Feed
A form task's Feed now shows saved comments, attachments, closure events, and deviations, and remains available after reloading the page.
Deviations – Answers that require deviations can be saved
Answers that require a deviation can now be saved reliably, removing blockers and ensuring progress is recorded.
Stability and fixes
We refined visual status and feedback in key workflows:
- Daily Schedule: clearer task status when a deviation still needs a corrective action.
- Deviations: improved loading feedback while a deviation is being created.
Note: Availability on iOS may take up to 24 hours due to Apple’s review process and will require updating the app to the latest version.
