The 26.1 release focuses on making everyday safety and compliance work easier to manage and less manual. From more flexible training access to automated vendor oversight and stronger regulatory integrations, this update helps teams reduce administrative burden while improving accountability across the system.

## Highlights

- Audience-based optional training access
- 30/60/90 vendor training expiry reminders
- Internal vendor portal document reviews
- STP regulatory register integration for audits
- Smarter Form Designer routing and customizable captions

## Training Management

### Optional Training with Audience Targeting

**Overview**  
Administrators can now define an Audience for optional [training](https://www.ehsinsight.com/solutions/modules/training-management-software) courses, allowing visibility to be restricted to specific users or groups.

**Benefit**

- Keeps training dashboards focused and relevant
- Prevents overwhelming users with large course libraries
- Improves adoption and completion rates

**Example**  
Organizations importing thousands of OpenSesame courses can make them visible only to managers or select teams, while general users see only what applies to them.

## Vendor Management

### 30/60/90 Training Expiry Reminders

**Overview**  
Automatic reminders notify [Vendor](https://www.ehsinsight.com/solutions/modules/vendor-management-software) and Contractor Admins and Workers when required training is nearing expiration—eliminating the need for internal teams to track vendor compliance manually.

**Benefits**

- Shifts ownership of training compliance to vendors
- Reduces manual tracking and follow-up
- Prevents last-minute gaps

### Internal Portal Document Reviews

**Overview**  
EHS Insight Administrators can now complete Document Reviews directly within the internal Vendor Portal.

**Benefit**

- Turns the portal into a true action center
- Speeds up approvals and oversight
- Reduces system switching and admin effort

## Audit & Inspection

### STP Regulatory Integration

**Overview**  
Customers can now connect their STP RegHub regulatory register directly to [Audit & Inspection](https://www.ehsinsight.com/solutions/modules/safety-audit-software) Question Sets. Regulatory obligations automatically flow into audits.

**Benefit**

- Ensures audits always reflect current federal and state requirements
- Eliminates manual checklist mapping
- Reduces risk of missed or outdated regulations
- Saves time across compliance teams

This integration mirrors the value customers see with Enhesa, bringing another powerful regulatory source directly into operational workflows.

## Form Designer

### Customizable Captions for Investigation Fields

**Overview**  
Admins can configure captions directly for Investigation Methodology and Alternate ID fields within Form Designer.

**Benefit**

- Supports multi-language needs
- Removes dependency on site settings
- Enables faster self-service configuration

### Dynamic Task Routing & Smart Field Population

**Overview**  
Forms can automatically populate related fields and route workflow tasks based on people selected in user-defined fields.

**Benefit**

- Reduces manual task reassignment
- Speeds up incident resolution
- Ensures the right person is notified immediately

**Example**  
An [Incident](https://www.ehsinsight.com/solutions/modules/incident-management-software) form can auto-fill the involved person’s supervisor and automatically assign submission tasks to them.

## Bringing It All Together

EHS Insight 26.1 delivers practical improvements that make compliance work more proactive and less manual:

- Targeted training visibility
- Automated vendor accountability
