NESR ePermit

Version 2.0 is a major update to notifications, the permit flow, and how work sites and roles are managed. NOTIFICATION CENTER • A new bell keeps a permanent record of every permit handoff, with an unread badge. • Tapping a notification takes you where you need to be: drafts open at the step waiting for you, while submitted permits open in the read-only review on the Board, or in the Archive if they have been filed. • The badge and the list update the moment a notification arrives, instead of trailing behind it. SIGNERS ARE KEPT INFORMED • Everyone who signed a permit is now told when it is submitted, declined, cancelled or aborted — including rejected renewals and closures. • Authorized signers show their email address, and an address is required when adding a new one, because that is how a signer is matched to an account and reached. Signers already on the list without one are marked "Not notified". REQUESTING ACCESS • Asking for a role, work site or segment now notifies your admins in the app, by push and by email, and you are told as soon as your request is approved or declined. • Where you can only hold one work site or segment, a request now asks which of the ones you hold you are giving up, and your admin can see exactly what approving it will replace. PERMIT STEPS • Step 1: shift start and end times are checked as you pick them — no times in the past, no end before start, and a 16-hour limit. • Step 3: a Job Safety Analysis is now mandatory. "Safety glasses / Face shield" is split into two questions, since a face shield is only needed for grinding and welding. • Step 4: the receiver and issuer sign-off now uses the same signing card as Step 6, with the authorized signers list and employee ID auto-fill. • The authorized signers sheet is searchable by name, employee ID or email. • The same person can no longer sign one permit twice, including on the Step 4 joint inspection. • Clients now have their own authorized list, with the same badge auto-fill and information sheet that receivers and issuers have. WORK SITES, SEGMENTS AND ADMIN • If you work across more than one segment or site, Step 1 now lets you choose instead of assuming the first one. • Admins can manage segments and work sites, and curate the authorized receiver, issuer and client lists from a new Signers section in the admin portal. • New users signing up now see the current work sites and segments rather than a built-in list. FIXES • Cancelling or aborting a permit now always reaches the server. Previously a permit cancelled without a connection could come back as an open permit with a number. • An authorization section locks as soon as it is signed, even if the handoff notification was never sent. • Crew details and gas tests can be edited on open permits. • Several fixes to notification delivery, so pushes and emails reach everyone they should.
