We have been working on this for years in the background, and it has all come together, with a bit of magic and hard work.
We are really excited to bring this to the Australian Concrete Pumping Community.

Signature agreement text
You can now display text/link under the signature field so the person signing can see the signature agreement (ie link to your Terms & Conditions). This field is optional and you can leave all your signatures as they are but also handy if you want to increase customer acknowledgement at job completion.
If you would like to add an agreement text under your signatures you can do this in settings > custom fields by clicking on Edit agreement text on the signature custom field. Please note that this feature is only for custom field signatures, not for the general job signature. For further information see http://help.fieldinsight.com/

QuotientApp (Quoting workflow) Integration
We have enabled an integration to QuotientApp, this is a 3rd party subscription (not covered by FieldInsight) but it allows you to do fancy quotes.
It will manage the quote creation and issuing (via email) and also approval (capture digital quote approval). Once a quote is approved it will come across to FieldInsight as an Approved Quote that you can then use to schedule/manage a project (or job) and then manage an invoicing workflow off the approved items in the Quote.
Please refer to our Help document. Â http://help.fieldinsight.com/advanced-fieldinsight-tips-and-integrations/quotient-app-integration-setup

We now offer Waze maps (this is an alternative to Google Maps), we now support both.
