  1. ​Building, Planning, and Public Works modules: New inspection types added and calendars updated:
    1119 Radon Mitigation (structural- com & res)
    1915 Moisture Content Verification (residential structural & dwl)
    8425 Freeze Protection (Fire)
    9561 Soakage Trench/Drywell (PublicWorks)
    9571 Water Protection (PublicWorks)
    Water Protection (Planning) 
    (4/10/25)

  2. Building module: Ability to now auto-pend inspections to the residential fire record types (multipurpose and standalone). This is configured as "off" by default and agencies will need to request these be configured if they wish to auto-pend any of the included inspections:

    8425 Freeze Protection
    8500 Ceiling Cover
    8610 Fire Sprinkler Rough
    8620 Fire Sprinkler Pressure Test
    8690 Fire Sprinkler Final 
    (4/10/25)

  3. Building module: EXPIRATION - update scripting to EXCLUDE TCO Withdrawn status from SETS. Previously the batch script that would create the Set of records about to expire for sending letters would include records with the status of 'TCO Withdrawn', 'TCO Voided', or 'Revision Withdrawn' for Building module records.  These 3 statuses are now skipped and not added to the Set - so letters won't unintentionally be sent out erroneously. (4/17/25)

  4. All modules: Automated Accela emails to a specific email address upon approval of site utilities. See the article, "Notifying your utility companies." (4/23/25)
    ​
  5. Building module: There is a check for an outstanding balance in place for Planning Tracking records when updating the workflow with certain statuses.  "Issue Permit/Decision - Final Insp Rqd" was missing from this list of statuses.  Now, the workflow cannot be updated with "Issue Permit/Decision - Final Insp Rqd" if there is an outstanding balance. (4/23/25)

  6. Building module: The following inspection was corrected.  The corrected name can be seen when adding the inspection to records going forward.

    Before: 8070 Underground Fire Main- Hydrostatic Underground
    After: 8070 Underground Fire Main - Hydrostatic Underground
    (4/23/25)

  7. All modules: A new status named, "Complete" is now available in the following Adhoc Workflow Tasks and will complete the task:
     - Additional Review
     - Correspondence
        (5/1/25)

  8. All modules: Two reports were reorganized in a new Report Page & Category:
     - 'Tech Fees by Module' > moved to Cashier Reports - Audit category
     - 'Comprehensive Invoice by Set' > moved to Cashier Reports - Billing/Reprint category
        (5/1/25)

  9. All modules: Once we upgraded to v. 24 in March 2025, a bug was introduced where parcels with a "Hold" condition could have a building permit applied for online and if plan review was not required, the customer could pay their fees and the permit would auto-issue.  ePermitting put a work around in place where now those online applications associated to a parcel with a "Hold" condition will be submitted with the status of "Application Submitted" and the customer will not ever see the payment screen.  The jurisdiction then has the opportunity to review the application and Void or process it based on their normal business process for this scenario. (5/19/25)

  10. Building module: The 1020 Zoning/Setbacks inspection type is now available to auto-pend to all new MFD record types.  This is turned off by default but please submit a help desk ticket if you are interested in seeing a 1020 automatically pended to MFD records. (5/20/25)
  11. Onsite module: New document type for Onsite: Correction Notice. (7/9/25)

  12. Building module: When creating a Building Appeal record type, the scripting to relate and add a standard condition to the parent was not working. The scripting has been fixed and now the appeal record will be related to the master (parent) record and will add a standard condition to the parent record. (8/14/25)

  13. Building, Public Works, and Onsite modules: The scripting to add a notice condition of Stop Work to an ONSITE record when the task is "Site Visit" and the task status is Stop Work Order was not properly creating a condition. The scripting has been fixed so that a condition is now added when Stop Work Order is selected. 

    Additionally, the scripting that removes/unapplies the Stop Work Order condition was not working in any modules. That has now been fixed and when the status is updated to "Under Inspection" the Stop Work Order condition is now unapplied. (8/14/25)

  14. All modules: A condition type of 'Enforcement - Other" was missing from many agencies in production. It has now been added to all OSM agencies. (8/14/25)
    ​
  15. All modules: Add new license type 'Landscape Architect.' See the article, "New license type now available- landscape architects." (8/19/25)
