Release Notes

What is new in TruStar Connect, newest first.

v2.121.0June 16, 2026

Closure records on maintenance

Added

Marking a maintenance item complete now opens a window to record what was done and attach or take a photo, kept on the record as proof of closure (for example a completed service).

v2.120.0June 16, 2026

Inspections that fill themselves in from the asset

Vehicle and equipment inspections pull details from the selected asset and flag service automatically.

Added

On the Light-Duty Vehicle and Mobile Equipment inspections, choosing the asset auto-fills its unit number, type, fuel type, and next service due as read-only details, so they cannot be entered wrong.
When the reading entered on an inspection reaches the asset’s next service due, or its service date has arrived, the inspector sees a notice to let their supervisor know, and a Service Due action is routed to the equipment manager.
Form fields can be set to auto-fill from the selected asset in the builder, and the AI builder understands these fields too.

Changed

The next service due on inspections now comes from the asset rather than being typed in each time, so it stays accurate.

v2.119.0June 16, 2026

Fuel type, service scheduling, and renewal reminders

Track fuel type and per-vehicle service schedules, with automatic reminders for renewals and service.

Added

Assets can record a fuel type: gasoline, diesel, propane, electric, or other (with a free-text option for things like bio-diesel).
Vehicle assets can carry a service interval (for example every 6000 kilometres or every 4 months) and the next service due, both by reading and by date.
Registration and insurance renewals are flagged 30 days out, and service is flagged when its reading is reached or its date arrives. The equipment manager gets a routed action and an email.
The register highlights any asset with an upcoming renewal or service so it is easy to spot at a glance.

v2.118.0June 16, 2026

Vehicles built into Equipment & Assets

Manage vehicles alongside the rest of your equipment, with plate, registration, and insurance tracking.

Added

A Vehicles category is now built in from the start, so vehicles live in the same Equipment & Assets register as the rest of your equipment.
Selecting a vehicle type when adding an asset reveals vehicle fields for license plate, registration renewal, and insurance renewal, shown on the asset and editable any time.
You can mark any equipment type as a vehicle type, or add new vehicle categories, from the Manage panel.

v2.117.0June 16, 2026

Default equipment manager on assets

Improved

Adding an asset now pre-fills your default equipment manager, which you can change per asset to make someone else responsible.
The equipment matrix now shows the default equipment manager for any asset that has not been given its own, so responsibility is always clear.

v2.116.0June 16, 2026

Fixes

Fixed

Adding an asset with a large photo could fail with an error. Photos are now resized in your browser before upload, so they save quickly and reliably, and any save problem now shows a clear message instead of an error screen.

v2.115.0June 16, 2026

Automatic service-due flagging

Inspections now keep the asset meter current and flag servicing when it is due.

Added

When an inspection records a meter or odometer reading that has reached the next service due reading, a Service Due action is raised against that asset and routed to the equipment manager, who is emailed. It will not pile up duplicates while one is still open.
Inspections with a meter reading now update the linked asset meter automatically, so the register stays current.
Number fields can be marked as a meter reading or a next service due reading in the form builder. The Light-Duty Vehicle and Mobile Equipment inspections are set up this way out of the box.

Improved

The AI form builder can now mark meter and service due fields when it designs a vehicle or equipment inspection.

v2.114.0June 16, 2026

Recommended forms ready on day one

COR-ready forms are now present automatically, plus a new equipment inspection and a duplicate option.

Added

The recommended COR forms are now created automatically the first time you open a new workspace, so they are there waiting with nothing to generate. The New Form menu still recreates any you delete.
New "Mobile Equipment Inspection" recommended form for forklifts, loaders, excavators, and similar units, with an equipment selector and a full pass or fail checklist.
The Light-Duty Vehicle Inspection now includes an equipment selector, so a failed item flags a deficiency on the chosen unit.
New copy button on any form duplicates it exactly with " - copy" in the title, so you can quickly build forms that share a layout.

Improved

The AI form builder now understands the equipment selector and can add it when you describe a vehicle or equipment inspection.

v2.113.0June 15, 2026

Inspections flag equipment deficiencies

Link an inspection to the asset it was done on and auto-raise deficiencies.

Added

Inspection forms now have an Equipment field, so the person filling one in can pick the asset being inspected, filtered by type.
When an inspection item is marked Fail on an asset, a deficiency is raised automatically against that asset and routed to its equipment manager, who is notified by email.
Each asset now lists the inspections performed against it, alongside its repair and maintenance history.

v2.112.0June 15, 2026

Equipment & Assets

Track your equipment, assets, and preventive maintenance in one place.

Added

New Equipment & Assets register: add vehicles, machines, and tools with a photo, unit number, type, make, model, year, serial, meter reading, site, and project.
Define your own equipment types, like vehicles, generators, or excavators, the same way you set up sites and projects.
A filterable, searchable equipment matrix with one-tap export to a spreadsheet for audits.
Log repairs, preventive maintenance, inspections, and deficiencies against each asset, with status, due date, cost, and an assigned owner.
Name an equipment manager so issues without an owner route to the right person for action.

v2.111.0June 15, 2026

Billing improvements

Fixed

Plan and seat changes now take effect only after payment is confirmed.

v2.110.0June 15, 2026

Schedule the observation report

Added

The observation report can now be sent automatically on a schedule, with the same options as the safety review: turn on automatic sending, choose a frequency and the exact day, and set the recipient email addresses.

v2.109.0June 15, 2026

Updated help guides

Improved

The in-app help for Reports now covers choosing the exact day a safety review is sent and generating the observation report.

v2.108.0June 15, 2026

Improvements and fixes

Improved

Plan and subscription changes now apply immediately, with no need to refresh the page.

v2.107.0June 15, 2026

Observation report

Added

A new on-demand Observation Report on the Reports page. It produces a branded PDF for any period, with summaries by type, status, severity, action taken, site, and project, followed by the full detail of every observation. Each observation is kept together so it is never split across a page break.

v2.106.0June 15, 2026

Choose the exact day for scheduled safety reviews

Added

You can now choose the exact day a scheduled safety review is sent. Monthly and quarterly reviews can target a specific day of the month, including the last day, and weekly or bi-weekly reviews can target a day of the week.

Improved

Stability, performance, and reliability improvements across the app.

v2.99.9June 13, 2026

Set or reset your password

Added

A "Forgot or never set your password" link on the sign in screen. It emails a secure link that opens the welcome screen where you choose a new password. This is also how to get in if an invite link expired or was already used, since the account already exists.

Improved

The welcome screen now completes sign in from any link style, whether the session arrives in the URL hash (invites) or as a code (password resets), and also recognizes an existing session.

v2.99.4June 13, 2026

A more dynamic showcase and cleaner backgrounds

Changed

The product showcase now sets each screenshot beside its own caption in alternating rows. The phones float up the page with a parallax effect as you scroll, and each row eases in as it comes into view.
Showcase screenshots are noticeably larger on desktop.
The hero background now uses a subtle dot grid and a small floating accent instead of the logo, for a cleaner look at the top of the page.

Removed

The repeated star logo watermark from the AI, method, and trial sections. The logo now appears only behind the showcase, so it no longer feels repetitive. The red gradient glows and floating accents remain.

v2.99.3June 13, 2026

Real screenshots, mobile-friendly showcase, and a sharper method

Changed

The product showcase now uses real screenshots of the app inside a phone. On desktop the phone stays in view while the captions scroll through five screens; on mobile each screen reveals in turn, sized to fit the screen.
The TruStar Method highlights now make the case against older root cause tools: no certification course to buy, included rather than a separate licence, and an AI bias audit on every analysis.
Subtle section backgrounds now use the TruStar star logo instead of a generic star.

Added

A note on the method that TruStar Connect also supports SCAT, ICAM, HFACS, 5 Whys, and Bowtie, with no proprietary lock-in.

v2.99.2June 12, 2026

Scroll showcase and a deeper story

Added

A deeper TruStar Method section with the five Stars and what makes the framework different, drawn from the Knowledge Base, plus a link to the full article.
A side by side comparison that shows why TruStar Connect goes well beyond a typical forms app, without calling anyone out by name.

Improved

The AI section now makes the role of AI clear: it assists the person doing the work and completes tasks in a fraction of the time, while you verify, edit, and approve everything before it is final.

v2.97June 12, 2026

Training matrix access and profile cleanup

Fixed

The Training Matrix now opens for everyone. Viewers and Workers were being bounced back to the Training page when they tapped Matrix.

Changed

The Sign out button has moved from the Organization page to My Profile.
Viewers no longer see certificate upload buttons on the Training page, since they have read-only access.

Removed

The Users shortcut on the Organization page has been removed. Use the Users link in the main menu.

v2.96June 11, 2026

Access tuning, cleaner reviews, and upvoting help

Changed

Viewers and Workers can now open the Users page to see the team roster, roles, and reporting lines. Editing users, pending invitations, and personal contact details stay limited to Owners and Admins.
The Training Matrix is now viewable by everyone, so any team member can see required training coverage.
Effectiveness Reviews now show only the next review due for each corrective action. The 60 day stays hidden until the 30 day is done, and the 90 day until the 60 day is done, for a cleaner list.

Added

A short "How upvoting works" info box on the Feature Requests board explains voting and the Top and This Month sorts.

Security

Viewers can no longer submit forms. Workers and above still can.

v2.95June 10, 2026

Policies folder, folder menu, and header fix

Added

New "Policies" starter folder in Documents with an AI assistant tuned for company safety policies. It suggests the standard COR policy set and drafts full policies, including a Drug and Alcohol policy aligned with the Canadian Model for Providing a Safe Workplace, plus Violence and Harassment, Working Alone, Incident Investigation, Disciplinary, Return to Work, and more, written to your jurisdiction and ready to edit and sign.

Changed

The "Add COR starter folders" action moved into a dropdown on the New folder button in Documents, so the toolbar is cleaner. Click the chevron beside New folder to find it.

Fixed

The contextual Help button no longer overlaps page buttons on iPad and other narrower large screens. It now sits in the bottom-right corner clear of the page header.

v2.94June 10, 2026

Cleaner mobile layouts

Improved

Hazard Register: the register header no longer crams its actions into tiny unlabeled icons on mobile. The Export, Import, Build with AI, and New buttons now show their labels and wrap onto their own row, and the register name is no longer cut off.
Form Submissions: each submission now gives its title and date the full width instead of competing with the badges, so the date no longer wraps awkwardly. The score, fail, and status badges sit on their own row beneath, and tap targets are a little larger.

v2.93June 10, 2026

Linked folders match forms by inferred category

Fixed

Linked Documents folders (Hazard Assessments, Inspections, Meetings, Toolbox, Emergency Response) now surface a form submission even when the form's COR category was left blank, by inferring the category from the form type and name. An FLHA, for example, now appears in the Hazard Assessments folder without having to set its category by hand.

v2.92June 10, 2026

Fix Emergency Response folder creation

Fixed

Adding or recreating the Emergency Response folder failed because the emergency link kind was not yet allowed in the database. It is now permitted, so the starter folders action recreates and links the folder. Folder creation also no longer fails the whole batch if a single folder is rejected.

v2.91June 10, 2026

Drill records route to Emergency Response folder

Changed

Emergency Drill Record submissions now surface in the Emergency Response folder in Documents. The folder is linked automatically the next time the starter folders are added from Documents.

v2.90June 10, 2026

Emergency Drill Record form

Added

New "Emergency Drill Record" recommended form. Pick the drill type and facilitator, check off the crew members who participated, and run a pass or fail evaluation of standard drill items (alarm, evacuation routes, accounting for personnel, roll call, muster point, equipment, roles, communication, timing, and all-clear). A comments box captures the mock scenario and lessons learned, with an optional photo and a required facilitator signature.

v2.89June 10, 2026

Eyewash Station Inspection form

Added

New "Monthly Eyewash Station Inspection" recommended form. Pick the station type, run a pass or fail check grounded in ANSI Z358.1 points (accessibility, activation, clear flushing fluid, flow, nozzle covers, self-contained fluid expiry, condition, and inspection tag), take a photo of the unit, note any issues, and sign off as the inspector.

v2.88June 10, 2026

First Aid Kit Inspection form

Added

New "Monthly First Aid Kit Inspection" recommended form. Pick the kit type from a CSA Z1220 dropdown (Type 1 Personal, Type 2 Basic, Type 3 Intermediate, with small, medium, and large sizes) to match the project jurisdiction and hazard level, then run a pass or fail check of the kit contents and condition. An optional AED section lets you inspect a defibrillator on the same checklist, marked N/A when there is none. Includes an issues note, an optional photo, and a required inspector signature.

v2.87June 10, 2026

Fire extinguisher inspection and uncropped photos

Added

New "Monthly Fire Extinguisher Inspection" recommended form. Add each extinguisher with its location and a pass or fail result, note the reason on a failure, and attach a photo of the extinguisher in place. Use Add Another to keep adding extinguishers, and sign off as the inspector at the end.

Fixed

Photos now display in their original aspect ratio everywhere they appear, while filling a form, on the submission view, and in the PDF. They are still sized down to fit, but are no longer cropped, so the full image is always visible.

v2.86June 10, 2026

Fall Protection / Harness Inspection form

Added

New "Fall Protection / Harness Inspection" recommended form. Record serial numbers for the harness, retractable, lanyard, and other gear, then run a pass or fail check of the harness (webbing, stitching, D-rings, buckles, impact indicator, labels) and the retractable or lanyard (housing, retraction and braking, lifeline, shock pack, hooks). Failed items raise corrective actions, and there is a result selector to mark gear in service or removed from service.
Includes a comments box, an optional photos field, and an inspector signature, with the usual auto date, time, and location stamp and weather on site.

v2.85June 10, 2026

Trim orientation form

Changed

Removed the Company / Employer field from the New Worker Orientation form, since the company already comes through with the selected project.

v2.84June 10, 2026

Orientation links to worker training records

Changed

The New Worker Orientation form now lets you pick the worker from the project crew instead of typing a name. Their job title (from their assigned position) fills in automatically.

Added

When a signed orientation is submitted, a completed "Project-Specific Orientation" record is added to that worker's training profile, noting which project it was for. The record is not duplicated if the same worker and project is submitted again.
Single-select worker pickers now show the chosen person's job title.

v2.83June 10, 2026

Fix orientation form generation

Fixed

Generating the recommended forms failed when only the New Worker and Site Orientation Checklist was missing, because the orientation category was not yet allowed in the database. The category is now permitted, and generation no longer fails the whole batch if a single form is rejected.

v2.82June 10, 2026

New Worker and Site Orientation Checklist

Added

New "New Worker and Site Orientation Checklist" recommended form. It confirms a worker received company orientation (policy, worker rights, reporting, WHMIS, fitness for duty) and site-specific orientation (site hazards, ERP, muster points, evacuation, first aid, permits, SDS, spill response), records the tickets verified, and is signed by both the worker and the person who delivered the orientation.
Follows the same format as the other defaults: auto date, time, and location stamp with weather on site, and an optional photos field for tickets or certifications.

v2.81June 10, 2026

General Worksite Inspection form

Added

New "General Worksite Inspection" recommended form. It is a pass or fail walk-through covering housekeeping and access, PPE, fire and emergency, electrical and equipment, WHMIS and environment, working at heights, mobile equipment, and documentation, grounded in CCOHS inspection guidance. Failed items raise corrective actions automatically.
It auto date, time, and location stamps with weather on site, allows optional photos, and is signed by the inspector and, where there is one, the supervisor. A worker with no supervisor can submit with their own signature alone.

v2.80June 10, 2026

Recommended Forms folder and refreshed default forms

Changed

Recommended forms are now created inside a "Recommended Forms" folder. The folder is created if it is missing, and any newly generated forms are placed in it.
Refreshed the Safety Meeting and Toolbox Talk defaults: removed the date, location, and duplicate project fields. Each submission is now auto date, time, and location stamped with weather on site, like the FLHA. Pick the facilitator or presenter and the attendees from the project crew, with an optional box for visitors or client attendees. The Toolbox Talk also gained an optional permit number.

Added

The FLHA now has optional fields for permit number, muster point, and emergency number or radio channel, an additional comments box, and an optional work area photo (take or upload).

v2.79June 10, 2026

Vehicle inspection form, cleaner PDF, tidier forms page

Added

New "Light-Duty Vehicle Inspection" recommended form. It captures vehicle type, unit number, fuel type, odometer, and next service distance, a full pass or fail checklist of inspection items, photos of the front, rear, and both sides (camera or upload), defect notes, and a driver signature. Like the FLHA, it is automatically date, time, and location stamped with weather on site.
Added "FR Coveralls" to the PPE list on the recommended FLHA.

Fixed

The submission PDF was cramped and overlapping on longer assessments. Sections and long hazard lists now flow and break across pages cleanly, each hazard and signature stays together, and the summary box no longer overlaps the content below it.

Changed

Moved "Recommended Forms" into the New Form menu as an AI option, to keep the forms page header clean.

v2.78June 10, 2026

Reliable hazard generation and friendlier dialogs

Fixed

The Task Hazard Selector could get stuck on "loading" if the generation took too long or the connection dropped. It now always finishes with either results or a clear message, and the time allowed for generation has been extended.

Improved

A styled notice now appears while hazards generate, letting the crew know it can take up to a minute for a complex scope of work.
Deleting a form or a folder now uses a clean in-app confirmation instead of the browser's default pop-up.
