In our latest release, we’ve made significant improvements to help you work smarter and faster, for example, we've simplified and enhanced the user experience in both risk and criticality assessments and RCM assessments. We've also introduced some great new features in recommendation management improving traceability with comments for status changes. Whether you're in the field or the office, these updates increase efficiency and usability across the board. Read on to learn more about all the new features!

Asset Risk Assessment

Enhanced UX for Risk & Criticality Assessments: Simplified Scale Definitions

We’re excited to unveil significant UX improvements for the the risk and criticality assessment. Previously, accessing essential scale definitions required multiple clicks, which was particularly cumbersome for users on tablets. To enhance the experience, we’ve introduced a new table view that seamlessly displays long descriptions directly within the assessment screen. This update eliminates the need for additional clicks and ensures a smoother, more efficient workflow, especially for those using tablets in the field.

This update not only streamlines the process but also integrates seamlessly with existing features, including the Financial Risk field, Notes section, and the 10x10 matrix. Looking ahead, it also accommodates the future requirement for Leading Failure Modes.

With these enhancements, Reliability Engineers can now view all relevant information in one place, improving efficiency and ease of use. This change reflects our commitment to refining user experience and responding to feedback, ensuring a more intuitive and effective assessment process.
