Release date: 27.08.2021
We are really excited to tell you that on August 2021 , a brand new app that better supports inspectors continuing their great jobs has been released. With a new, cleaner and much simpler interface, we proudly call it Onix Inspect - which brings a breath of fresh air to user experience and provide a more streamlined way of inspection.
1. ONIX INSPECT
Review downloaded scope with Home
It’s useful for inspectors know what and when data has been downloaded previously in the beginning to start or during the work. By having these information visible on Home, inspectors can easily check if their data and settings are up-to-date and decide the next steps. Additionally, they can get their jobs uploaded in a simple click if there is any.
Data Synchronization with Sync Module
The download and upload feature (previously available in Customers and Review Inspections tile in Onix Inspection) has been redesigned and merged into the Sync module. By using this, you can
- Download and review downloaded data scope
- Review default settings and control categories permission
- Review the pending items that haven’t been uploaded yet
- Check the upload history
Simplified navigation
“Simpler is better” - we have given our best shot to redesign the navigation across the app. Let’s start with the navigation bar, all icons have been replaced by a collection of user-friendly ones, leaving no chance for mistakes.
Inspired by the success of Onix Worker, we have redesigned the navigation insides each module using the same layout. When opening an equipment, jobs or issues, you can easily find its related items.
New gestures: Swipe and Press
Similar to Onix Worker, now you can swipe in from the right to left of the screen on equipment module to pull up the equipment’s menu. Away from that, press and hold for a few sec to enter multiple selection mode.
List views and advanced search
This implementation of advanced search combined with list views makes sure that you’re seeing the most relevant items. You can easily switch among these view by clicking 
next to the view name, then click 
to use Search this view function.
Keep track of checklist and checkpoints
It’s now easier than ever to know if you have missed any checkpoint in your lengthy checklists. By having the completed percentage displayed in the checklist section and the number of checkpoints completed in each check group, you can easily catch up within a glance.
Manage equipment
The previous Manage Equipment tile in Onix Inspection is now Equipment module in Onix Inspect - which comes with an intuitive design while keeping most of the functionalities.
List views implementation enables viewing all the equipment that filtered by certain conditions. You can decide which view is best useful to pin by default. Make sure to take advantage of views, advanced search, scan and gestures to find the relevant equipment to add to a job.
Manage inspections with Jobs and Issues Module
Finally, Jobs module has arrived in Onix Inspect to help you keep your work under control. With friendly interface and features inherited from Equipment, you can take advantages of views and search filter to see the relevant jobs. In addition to that, you can decide if a job should be filed or be informed if there is any reason get in the way.
Inspired from Onix Work and Onix Worker, with the arrival of Issues module, you are able to keep track of all issues in a separated screen. All open issues of equipment would be available in Onix Inspect and ready for the next steps.
2. ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS
New control category: AMD and ROV
In accordance with the Regulation 2017-06-21-907 on amusement devices issued by Norwegian Railway Authority, which requires amusement devices to have a safety level according to international standards to be allowed used of the public. Onix dedicated a new Control Category named AMD for all users.
Also, to comply with NORSOK Standard U-102 for remotedly operated devices, Onix has implemented ROV as a new control category.
Both control categories can be found in Settings, inside Control Category “XX”.
Updated caption: Procedure and Form properties
Since this release, we have made a little change in some captions.
- In Forms, the caption Test results is replaced by Form properties.
- In Checklist/checkpoints, the caption Extended procedure is replaced by Procedure
Change file storage of Onix platform
In this release we change the file storage of Onix platform from on-premise server to Microsoft Azure. This make our file storage more secure and better performance. This is the big change that require an upgrade to Onix Work and all of other applications / services in the platform.
3. IMPORTANT TO KNOW
Refresh license when changing devices
In this release, we introduce a new rule to ensure that user can use only ONE device at a time.
In Onix Inspect, when you download or upload data in a new device, you need to confirm that any ongoing data on the other devices become invalid to upload. Once you agree to proceed, you can only upload from your latest device.
