What's new in Expansive this month?
RAMS
This feature must be set up by an Expansive admin. Please get in touch if you want to have it enabled.
- Added a new feature to Settings, enabling a list of RAMS service types to be stored and managed by users who have the relevant permissions.
- Added a new feature that enables RAMS to be uploaded against recurring work order templates, should the work order request type require them. This means, that when work orders are spawned, the associated RAMS are included by default, unless the contractor changes, in which case the RAMS become disassociated.
- Added a new feature to the work order view screen that allows users with the relevant permissions to see the RAMS associated with the work order and upload them as needed.
- Added a new feature that enables contractors to upload RAMS to a work order, should the request type require them. The feature enables contractors to select from a list of previously uploaded RAMS or upload entirely new ones that can be generic or site specific.
Parts Ordering
- Improved the parts ordering page navigation by making all main categories visible for selection, and by removing the recent orders section to make the page less busy.
- Improved the parts order screen by adding the part number, so it’s easier to identify what has been ordered.
Budget & Finance Management
- Added a new feature where customers can choose and manage the budget type required instead of having to select from a pre-determined list.
- Resolved an issue where the finance summary area was displaying the incorrect values and correlating graphs.
- Improved the budget setup by adding the ability to set budgets by financial period, or financial year, as well as the ability for the budgets to be site-specific. Additionally, we have improved control of budget overspend by providing the option to hide a budget should it have been overspent, and the option to allow for overspend too.
- Added a new a feature that provides users with live budget updates while approving costs, meaning only the relevant budgets can be selected, helping to prevent overspend.
Engineer App.

External Posters
- Improved the QR code posters for external work orders and engineers so that they display the relevant company logo.
