Explore our latest release of enhancements and the new features of Notify Cloud - v7.1
Simple Document Management Improvements
Document Management > Department Read Only User
You can now provide users a new Department Document Manager (Read Only) permission that will allow users the ability to view and download documents from the departments they are linked with via the Organisation Structure. They will not be able to edit, delete or change the stored document.
Linked Documents > Risk Assessments
You can now link Document Records to a Risk Assessment.
For example; You may be undertaking a Risk Assessment where you need to follow a process to ensure the safe shut down of Hot Works, so you can link the Hot Work Shut Down Procedure document stored in Document Management to the Risk Assessment via the Linked Documents tab.
Once the Record is linked, any user with access to the Risk Assessment will be able to get access to and download the document.
Linked Documents - Audits
You can now link Document Records to a Audit, Inspection or Checklist.
For example; You may be undertaking a Vehicle Safety Checklist before its allowed to go on the road, but need access to the procedure on how to do this, so you can link the Vehicle Checklist or Insurance Claim Procedure documents stored in Document Management to the Audit via the Linked Documents tab.
Once the Record is linked, any user with access to the Audit will be able to get access to and download the document.
Linked Documents > Method Statements
You can now link key project documentation, processes or procedures stored in Notify’s Simple Document Management Module that forms part of the Method Statement.
Notify’s New Public API
Our mission is to empower our customers to interact and integrate with Notify, so that you can get the most out of your Safety, Health, Environmental and Quality data. We are pleased to announce the first phase of our Public API that provides the ability for authorised companies to request Incident, Audit and Action data from Notify Cloud and will be provided in a structured JSON file format.
Over the coming months we will be expanding our API’s capabilities, however, from now you can request data for the following:
|
Incidents End Point |
GET – Incident Statistics – for example, returning a simple volume of incident counts, lost time or reportable incidents over a requested date range. GET – Incident Capture and Investigation RAW Data – for example, returning the full structured and unstructured Incident Capture and Investigation data over a requested date range. |
|
Audits End Point
|
GET – Audits Summary Data – for example, returning a simple volume of audit counts, by status, RAG Grade or Score over a requested date range. GET – Audit Detailed Content Data – for example, returning the full structured and unstructured Audit sections, questions, and response data over a requested date range. |

Actions End Point |
GET – Action Summary Data – for example, returning a simple volume of actions, by status and priority, over a requested date range. GET – Action Detailed Content Data – for example, returning the full detailed content structured, and unstructured Action data over a requested date range. |

We’re using the latest cutting edge technology, with cool usability improvements ensuring safety events are recorded with ease.
This is available to download from the relevant App Stores from 10th June, however from the 01st July this update will be mandated in order to ensure that all users are supported on the most up to date version.
Security & Penetration Testing
It is not all about delivering new features, at Notify we take the security of our customer data as our number one priority.
Annually we invest in third party CREST Accredited Security experts to undertake Penetration Testing, designed to seek out security vulnerabilities and weaknesses with our commitment to remediate and remove these.
We also regularly assess our Notify Web and Mobile applications against the Top 10 OWASP vulnerabilities on a quarterly basis.
Performance Improvements, Scalability and Load Testing
As Notify grows and we take on more customers and users around the world, we want to ensure the performance and scalability of our Web and Mobile applications are not only fit for purpose now, but also into the future.
We have invested significantly in third party experts conducting Load Testing to replicate high demands on our software and infrastructure, which will help Notify to identify where we need to make improvements.
Technical Debt
At Notify we call this ‘keeping our lights on!!'. This is about good housekeeping to ensure the infrastructure, code, third party components and the plumbing we use is maintained, secure and in good working order.
