Fergus Go v2.5.1 is available now! šŸ“±

In this Update, weā€™ve released the following changes:

  • Scheduling is quicker! Press and hold a one-hour time slot on the calendar to create an event. Release to choose scheduling options, and the form will auto-fill key details. Just adjust the end time or add users, then tap Save.

  • We've made Fergus Go compatible with iPads! This version uses the full screen space of iPads, with no changes to layout or navigation.

  • No more switching screens! You can now open the mobile calendar directly from job card views, reducing taps and speeding up scheduling.

  • You can now see and edit unassigned job events on the Job Screen. Keep track of scheduled jobs even before assigning them!

  • The companyā€™s working hours from the web now sync straight to the Fergus Go calendar.

  • We've updated the login screen to better match the look and feel of the signup experience both in Fergus Go and in a mobile web browser.

  • In the Job screen, Voided Job Phases now have a separate section where they are hidden by default to save space. A single tap allows the user to view the list of them.

  • You can create Variations for Charge up, Quote, and Estimate regardless of the original job type.

  • Navigating to a Job Phase no longer shows a ā€œSomething went wrongā€ page prior to successfully fetching the Job Phase data.

  • The Files screen was displaying the description of the related Job, it now shows the title instead.

Release Notes February 2025

New Features šŸš€

  • We have introduced invoice-level payment control, allowing users to toggle Fergus Pay for individual invoices. This update is available on the web, with a mobile version in development.

  • We're expanding our email-first sign-up to desktop users. Visitors to the Fergus sign-up page will see a screen that only asks for their email. After entering it, they'll proceed to the two-step sign-up flow with their email pre-filled.

Bug Fixes & Improvements šŸœ

  • Dragging a job into the calendar and resizing it no longer causes duplicates.

  • Short events, such as 1-hour bookings, no longer overlap in the horizontal week view. They now display side by side, providing a better view of the schedule.

  • When weekends are hidden in the calendar, users will be unable to select Saturday or Sunday. If the calendar is accessed on a non-business day, it will automatically redirect them to the next working day.

  • The preferences for displaying or hiding non-business hours will now be saved even after logging in and out.

  • Customers have noted that the weekly calendar view only allows navigation by 2 days or 1 week, which complicates focusing on specific days. We've updated this feature to enable navigation by 1 day for a more intuitive experience.

  • Fixed an issue where the job page would not load jobs completed by a previously disabled employee

Fergus Go v2.2.0 is available now! šŸ“±

In this Update, weā€™ve released the following changes:

  • We fixed an issue that prevented users from completing certificates in Fergus Go when they didn't have a company logo. Now, certificates can be completed without a logo, matching the functionality in Fergus Web.

  • We received reports that large image uploads from Fergus Go limited the number of attachments users could send in emails. We have now reduced the image size while maintaining clarity.

  • Previously, users of Fergus Go were not notified about scheduling conflicts, leading to the potential double-booking of employees. Now, they receive alerts for any conflicts, helping them make better scheduling decisions.

  • Users can now edit a grouped custom event for all assigned employees or just one, matching the Fergus web's flexibility.

New Calendar Features

  • Users can now hide non-business days and hours in the calendar settings. This improvement allows for a better weekly view by eliminating Saturdays, Sundays, and non-business hours, enabling you to see more days and job details at a glance.

  • Users can now schedule events in the unassigned column or row of the calendar to tentatively book work before assigning it to a technician. Instead of dragging and dropping, you can create unassigned events by leaving the employee field blank in the event drawer.

  • Events can be easily reassigned from an assigned employee or group by deselecting them in the pop-up or event drawer, which will automatically move the event to the unassigned column for rescheduling.

  • We have implemented duration indicators that appear when you hover over the event card, directly addressing customer requests and enhancing the user experience.

    Bug Fixes & Improvements šŸœ

  • The calendarā€™s ā€œNextā€ and ā€œPreviousā€ buttons now skip non-working days, making navigation more intuitive.

  • Filters and sorting applied to the staff list are now saved to user preferences. This means your customised views remain intact when navigating away from the calendar.

  • Fixed an issue where some users were unable to navigate away from the calendar, causing it to reload continuously.

  • Resolved an issue where the edit event drawer for recurring events would flicker unexpectedly.

  • Users scheduling from a job card will now see the entire workday from 8 AM to 4 PM in the horizontal day view. This change eliminates frustration and significantly reduces scrolling.

    In this Update, weā€™ve released the following changes:
    ā€‹

  • Fergus Go now respects locked time entries and its associated permissions.

  • Users are now prompted to create an invoice to come after completing a Purchase Order. This prompt will appear whenever a Purchase Order is successfully created.
