Check out the latest software updates in **EHS Insight 19.18**. 

New Features

**Work Observation - Originate Submit**

- Allows users to be in a role that can only Submit new Observations (and see their own Submitted Observations)

- Flags 
    - Originate Submit
    - Shared Submit 
          - Shared Task
- Role  
    - Originate

**Investigations - Direct Assignment**

- New workflow setting which allows Investigators to be directly assigned to each Investigation, instead of using an Investigation role

**Report Subscriptions**

- Reports have a new button in the top right to allow Subscriptions.  
    - The dropdown option allows management of existing subscriptions.

- Users select a Delivery Frequency and Time, as well as custom Titles and Parameters.
- The system emails users on following the schedule with a link to their report.

**Announcements - Targeted Audience**

- Two new options when creating Announcements: 
    - Limit by Business Entity
    - Notifications
- Limit by Business Entity limits visibility in the dashboard and email sending to the people whose user Business Hierarchy is at (or below) the selected Business Entity.
- Notifications allow emails to be sent to various user types. 
    - Previously emails could only send to Users, Guests, Kiosks, and Device - now users can send announcements to all Managed Contacts as well.

**Vendor Request - Hide Documentation From Submit**

- Prevents the first user to submit the Vendor Request form from being overwhelmed by extra, non-required fields.
- The fields become visible as soon as the Request is submitted.

**Form Designer - Custom Email/Print View Footer**

- In Form Designer, under Emails and Print Views, users can now define a custom Footer to show at the bottom of the document. 
    - Defined Per Email and Per Print View

**Training and Skills Reports - Hidden From New Pattern**

- Training and Skills Reports now show "Hidden" requirements in a new style.

**Print Views - "Blank Form" Printing **

- When printing a blank form, the system now gives more space to "write in" missing fields.

**OSHA Reporting - Combined 180-Day Cap **

- OSHA Directive Number: CPL 02-00-135: "*“Employers are allowed to cap the number of days away and/or restricted work/job transfer when a case involves 180 calendar days.”   
  *
- OSHA clarifies here that the regulation says you must record “Lost Time” and “Restricted Time” and may cap them at 180 days. That the 180-day cap may be “combined” and not “each.”
- Capping the time is not a requirement of the regulation, some companies may choose to cap either way (or not at all).
- Our default is “180-days Each” but we now also have a setting for “180-day Combined.”
- This only affects the OSHA 300, 300A reports.**

**Native App - Improved Login Experience**

- An improved, cleaner look for customer login along with an improved error message when the site name given doesn't exist
- If users need to enter a site that isn't ehsinsight.com, they can type in the full address in the field and the .ehsinsight.com will disappear. 
    - Example: test.ehspreview.com if you want to see a site on ehspreview

**Other Features**

- Incident Event – Investigation – Hide Key Lessons Learned 
    - Removes Key Lessons Learned Grid

- Travel Itinerary – Hide Booking Confirmed Field 
    - Removes Booking Confirmed Checkbox (Separate from the Booking Workflow)

- Skill Requirements – Added “By Assignment Only” mode 
    - To match the Training “By Assignment Only” pattern
