Release 1.19.0 - Europa

Why Europa? The moon is particularly notable for its smooth, icy surface covering a potential subsurface ocean, making it one of the most promising locations in our solar system to search for extraterrestrial life. Just as Europa's surface appears refined yet conceals significant depths beneath, our Europa release delivers a polished user experience while incorporating numerous subtle yet meaningful improvements. This release focuses on enhancing the user interface with smoother interactions, more intuitive navigation, and refined visual elements.

✏️ Quick Access Buttons for Categories​

We've added quick access buttons for category management within the ticketing system. These new controls allow users to efficiently manage categories and subcategories directly from both the ticket creation form and ticket detail pages.

🏷️ Project Abbreviation Customization​

We've added an project abbreviation during project creation that automatically generates a short code for each new project. This feature streamlines project identification while still allowing users to override the suggestion with their own custom abbreviation if preferred, offering the perfect balance between automation and personalization.

🏢 Customer Information on Project Creation​

New customer information fields have been added to the project creation process. These fields allow for better tracking and management of client data associated with each project. The customer refers to the client for whom the project is being executed.

When creating a new project, you can now specify:

  • Customer name
  • Customer contact information
  • Customer address

This enhancement enables improved client relationship management and streamlines the process by having all relevant customer details directly linked to the project from creation.

🖼️ Timestamps for Images​

It is now possible to add a timestamp to exported and downloaded pictures. Note that the timestamp for pictures received via WhatsApp will be the time the picture was sent to Valoon (not necessarily the time it was taken).

📤 Faster upload dialog​

The upload dialog has changed. We are now making full use of the device's native upload component and skipping our internal "staging" dialog. You may not notice it, but the upload process has thus increased in speed.

⏰ Time entry defaults & up to 20 selectable users​

The time entry flow in WhatsApp now includes time defaults. This makes it much faster to create a new time entry. By popular request, we have also increased the maximum number of selectable participants to 20.
