This release brings subcontractor notes in Report Hub, clearer next steps when issues need a form, automatic access for mentioned users in private issues, updated administration screens, stronger security across services, and a broad set of fixes across the platform.
✨ Features
📊 Subcontractor Notes in Report Hub
Report Hub users can now generate daily, weekly, or custom-period reports that include subcontractor notes. Project teams get a consolidated view of subcontractor activity in a single report, without compiling it by hand.
📋 Guided Next Steps When an Issue Needs a Form
After an issue is created, Fonn now explains when a specific form must be completed and opens that form directly.
💬 Automatic Access for Mentioned Users in Private Issues
Mentioning a colleague in a private issue now adds them to that issue automatically. Discussions can move forward without a separate step to share access, and the right people see the conversation from the start.
🔧 Improvements
🔒 Stronger Security Across Fonn Services
Background services now use more secure internal authentication, and the underlying data is better protected from outside access. Internal service requests are also authorised more flexibly, keeping access checks accurate without adding friction for users.
👥 Administration & User Migration
The screens for adding users and creating organisations have been rebuilt, giving administrators a more consistent experience. The Add User option is now hidden for organisations that have migrated to Evo, so administrators only see actions that apply to them.
📬 Issues List — Unread Indicators
Unread issues are now clearly highlighted in the issues list, so users can see at a glance which conversations need their attention.
📤 Export Options
The pins annotation option has been removed from the export download options, simplifying the choices available when exporting.
⚡ Performance & Reliability
Loading of the documents tree has been optimised to keep Fonn responsive as document volumes grow. Monitoring of Fonn is now automated, helping the team spot and respond to service disruption sooner. The platform can also be scaled more flexibly to meet changes in demand.
