Overview
This release introduces several improvements that strengthen governance and provide organisations with greater control over their data and processes. Updates focus on improving accountability in action management and ensuring publicly accessible documentation always reflects the most current and valid records.
These changes help organisations maintain compliance, reduce administrative overhead, and ensure greater confidence in the integrity of their data.
Improved Control of Action Target Dates
What’s New
Action assignees can no longer edit the target date of actions assigned to them.
Problem Being Solved
Previously, assignees could extend deadlines themselves, potentially allowing SLA commitments or compliance timelines to be bypassed.
Key Capabilities
- Target date editing restricted for assignees
- Target date changes remain available to:
- Action creators
- Verifiers
- Administrators
Why It Matters
This improves accountability and supports compliance with structured action management practices often required under ISO frameworks.
Override Users Can Close Legacy Actions
What’s New
Users with Override permissions can now close action records they did not create.
Problem Being Solved
Action records created by users who are no longer accessible (for example employees who have left the organisation) previously required development support to resolve.
Key Capabilities
- Override users can close any action record
- Administrators can resolve legacy actions without developer intervention
Why It Matters
Organisations can now maintain clean action registers and manage historical records independently.
Automatic Lifecycle Management for Public Documents
What’s New
Documents published through the Public Document Portal now automatically update based on their lifecycle status.
Problem Being Solved
Previously, documents that were closed, archived, or deleted could remain publicly accessible if not manually managed.
Key Capabilities
- Automatic removal of records that are:
- Deleted
- Archived
- Public documents always reflect the current approved record state
Why It Matters
This ensures that external users only see current and valid documentation, reducing the risk of outdated safety information being shared.
Strong governance is critical for maintaining reliable safety and compliance processes. These updates help ensure that actions remain accountable and that publicly accessible documentation stays accurate and up to date. We will continue enhancing controls that support transparency and regulatory alignment.
