Use technical drawings in checklists for inspections, including DROPS and EX
Create and use checklists that include technical drawings to support more inspections such as DROPS (Dropped Object Prevention Scheme) and EX inspections.
While designing a checklist, you can:
- Upload multiple technical drawings to cover different inspection areas.
- Pin checkpoints and groups to specific locations on each drawing.
- While completing jobs, inspectors can track real-time progress directly within the drawing interface.

Orders - Add existing equipment to order lines using global IDs
!The Orders module now includes a Global ID and Existing equipment column in the numbering table to improve tracking of serialized equipment. If your company uses Onix Pick and Pack to scan items into order lines, the global ID of each scanned item becomes visible in Onix Work.
Use this column to assign existing equipment to the order line’s numbering. This updates equipment ownership upon delivery without creating new equipment records.
Here’s how:
-
In the Orders module, select an order > Select the Numbering tab > Select an open order line.
-
In the Global ID column, select the Select equipment button > Search for the relevant item > Apply. The selected equipment is now assigned to the order line, and its information is automatically populated in the numbering table.
Settings - Set rules to add job intervals during equipment checkout from Onix Tool Store devices
Some equipment must be inspected after being checked out and used. To support this, you can now define checkout rules that automatically add one or more job intervals when equipment is checked out. These rules can be tailored by control category and linked to specific Onix Tool Store devices.

Set up alerts for equipment checkout from Onix Tool Store devices
While setting up each Onix Tool Store device in the Settings module, administrators can define who should receive email alerts when any equipment is checked out from that device. Email addresses of alert recipients can be entered manually. Using checkout alerts, teams are promptly notified of equipment usage to respond quickly if needed.
Here’s how:
- In the Settings module, select License > Onix Tool Store usage license > Select a device.
- In the Check out – in section, select Edit.
- Fill the relevant details into the Check out alerts section > Save.

Orders - Deliver to different locations or areas per order line
You can now deliver equipment to different locations or areas for each order line in a single order. Previously, only one delivery location could be selected for the entire order. This update gives you more flexibility when handling orders that involve multiple destinations.
Add internal notes on orders, order lines and products
We’ve introduced a new Internal notes section that includes two fields: Order-specific notes and Order line-specific notes. You can now add internal notes to orders, order lines, and products to collaborate with your team in the Orders module.
These notes are visible to other users and appear in Onix Pick and Pack during picking.The previous Internal field under the Instructions section has been renamed to Customer-specific notes and moved into the new section. It still syncs with the relevant company’s Internal field in the Companies module.
The Order line-specific notes field is also available in products. When a new order line is created from a product, the note from the product is automatically copied.
Add documents faster with drag-and-drop and separated upload buttons
You can now add documents to jobs, equipment, products, or issues by simply dropping files right into the document list. In addition, the Add button is now split into Add from device and Add from library so you can choose the appropriate option more easily.
Edit “Owner’s equip. ID” for multiple equipment at once
In the Equipment module, select multiple items and click Edit all. You can then update the Owner’s equip. ID field for all selected items at once. This helps you manage owner information more efficiently across a large number of equipment records.
Create copy of a job to other equipment
You can now create a copy of a filed job and apply it to another equipment. This helps speed up repeated inspections and keeps job information consistent.
Here’s how:
- Open a filed job > Select Create copy.
- Choose one of the following options:
- To this equipment: A new open job is created with the same details where applicable.
- To other equipment: Select the target equipment. The job’s interval and location will update to match the new equipment.
Jobs - Improved “Select equipment” panel for adding equipment to jobs
Use the improved “Select equipment” panel to quickly choose equipment within a job. You can filter by multiple fields, view items in a table layout, and select several items at once.
Jobs - “Tested according to” is auto-filled from product or control category
When you create a new inspection job, the Tested according to field now auto-fills from the product. If the product doesn’t have a value, it uses the control category’s default value instead. This functionality previously only applied to jobs that are created from orders, but is now supported more broadly to save you time and maintain consistency.
Jobs - Track required fields when completing form properties
When filling out the form properties of NDT reports or the new Report of Thorough Examination, you’ll see a prompt if any required fields are left blank. This makes it easier to complete long forms accurately and avoid missing key information.
Dashboards - Updated color scheme for a modern look
The color scheme of dashboard widgets has been updated to offer a cleaner and more modern visual experience.
Companies - View sender information for connection requests
When you send a request to access another company’s equipment data, your email address and company name will be visible to the other company. The same applies when you grant access to your equipment data. This change enhances greater transparency in cross-company collaboration.
Settings - Set instructions for equipment inspection per job class
When you create instructions for equipment inspection, you can define which job class the instruction applies to. Choose from mandatory inspection, preventive maintenance, or operator job to ensure the instruction is shown only in relevant jobs.
Set location’s managing contact as default responsible person on forms
The Responsible field in each form’s settings now includes a new option: Fetch from location. When enabled, the job will automatically fill in the managing contact of the equipment’s location. This ensures the correct inspector is listed for the job.
Onix Work - Retired

As announced here, support for Power BI integration in Onix Work will end on 13.06.2025. After this date, the integration will be permanently shut down and no longer available. To continue accessing your data, use Custom reports in Onix Work > Settings.

Use technical drawings in checklists for inspections, including DROPS and EX
Download and use checklists with technical drawings to support inspections such as DROPS (Dropped Object Prevention Scheme) and EX inspections. Each checklist can include multiple drawings for different inspection areas. Checkpoints and groups are marked to show their locations, with visual indicators to track progress as they are completed.
To complete a checklist that contains drawings:
- Select the navigation button in a checkpoint or check group. You’ll be directed to the corresponding marker on the drawing.
- Tap or click the marker again. Then fill in the status and comments for the checkpoint or check group.
Tip: Checkpoints with markers display a picture icon in the checklist.

Here’s how:
- Open a filed job > Select Create copy.
- Choose one of the following options:
- To this equipment: A new open job is created with the same details where applicable.
- To other equipment: Select the target equipment. The job’s interval and location will update to match the new equipment.

Equipment get new job intervals and due dates during checkout
When you check out equipment from an Onix Tool Store device, the equipment may automatically receive new job intervals and due dates. These are added based on rules your administrators set up for equipment that require inspection during use. The new intervals help you track what inspections are needed and ensure you get alerts when they are due.

Use the new Send & Receive action in the self-service mode to manage the movement of equipment between locations.
- Send equipment based on reservation requests, either by scanning for larger batches or searching for individual items.
