BlueDAG Release #4.4.0 Release Date: 1/11/2024
NEW FEATURES
- Intersection Query Enhanced with Street Length Estimation. We’ve introduced a groundbreaking addition to the Intersection Query function. In addition to pinpointing intersection locations, BlueDAG can also estimate the total length of streets in a jurisdiction, offering invaluable assistance for subscribers to use in bid responses when the requesting entity doesn’t have this information. To request a Street Length Estimation, submit a support ticket and our team will take it from there.
- Public Grievances Made Transparent with New Public Link Functionality. Similar to our Living Transition Plan barrier link, we’ve introduced a public link feature for Grievances. This functionality lets users view grievance locations and related information (excluding requester details) for a jurisdiction. With this feature, BlueDAG government subscribers can also link their BlueDAG grievance web intake form to facilitate public requests and grievance submissions.
- Enhanced SSO Login for Seamless Integration with Microsoft and Google. Our Single Sign-On (SSO) login feature has been upgraded to provide better support for Microsoft and Google users. Enjoy a seamless and secure login experience, streamlining your access to BlueDAG with enhanced compatibility.
- Real-Time Notifications for Completed Background Jobs. Users receive instant notifications within the web portal when background jobs, such as reports, have been completed. A convenient popup will alert you, ensuring you stay informed and can promptly proceed with the next steps.
- Evaluation Custom Fields Now Visible on the Overview Tab. We understand the importance of flexibility, so we’ve extended the functionality of Evaluation custom fields. Now, these fields appear in the Evaluation details tab and seamlessly integrate into the Overview tab, providing a comprehensive view of your evaluations.
