With V2.80, there is a new 'Work' stage in the survey process.
A separate work team, volunteers or contractors can carry out and record the work done - and can take photos to show the results.
The important thing about the 'Work' stage, is that none of the inspection details or recommendations
can be changed - only the Work Done checkbox and notes can be updated.
Improved Replicate feature to make it easier to copy and replicate trees and items.
V2.70 We have improved password privacy by allowing users to register and login via Google/Facebook/etc. As long as you use the same email address as used in Google/Facebook/etc, you can use OTISS fully and we never see (or store) your password.
On screen and in reports we now use the common species names e.g. 'Silver Birch'. But when searching for a species on the mobile apps, we have kept the familiar 'genus ordered' lists which groups species together for easier selection.
Another small bugfix in Photos.
Small bugfix on Multiple Species list.
