Release

Mid-October Release

16 – 18 October 2026
4 new9 improved10 fixed

Filter the jobs list by person, units and floors on the customer review page, a measurement tool and an unsaved-changes guard in the 3D Editor, and faster, more reliable scan uploads from the NET Inhouse app.

Jobs list & properties

Find the jobs that matter to one person.

  • Filter the jobs list by person — pick an owner or team member and see only their jobs. The picker shows each person’s name and email.
  • The Excel export of the jobs list includes unit custom properties on their own Units sheet.
  • Bulk edit now lists every job it could not update and why, instead of reporting success when a status change had silently failed.
  • Creating a job saves every ticked option of a multi-select property, not just the first; multi-select properties can also be left empty.
  • The My Jobs / All Jobs switch filters the list again.
  • The “saved” tick on a custom property now sits beside the field it belongs to.

Review page & reports

Units and floors on the customer review page.

  • The customer review page shows the units by floor, with their custom properties.
  • Photo titles and descriptions edited on the report page are no longer overwritten by the 3D Editor’s autosave, and typing in them no longer starts a drag-to-reorder.
  • The Bill of Materials Excel export shows the group totals instead of 0.
  • Downloaded report PDFs keep umlauts and other special characters in their file name.
  • The broken PDF export was removed from User Management and the Bill of Materials; use the Excel export instead.

3D Editor

Measure in the scan, and never lose unsaved work.

  • Measurement tool — measure point to point in the scene, with keyboard shortcuts.
  • Leaving the editor with unsaved changes now asks whether to save, discard or stay, and the browser warns before the tab closes.
  • Cables no longer clip into the scan: where the scan hides a cable, it shows ghosted instead of disappearing.
  • Default nodes are semi-transparent, cable joins are smooth curves, and equipment is drawn on top of cables.
  • An unrecognised element type no longer stops a job from loading.

NET Inhouse app & scan uploads

Scan uploads that keep moving, and unit photos where they belong.

  • Scans are processed up to ten times faster — a typical scan is ready in the portal a few seconds after the upload finishes, and even large scans in well under a minute. Model and texture quality are unchanged. (18 October)
  • Several scans upload and process at the same time. While a scan waits, the app shows its queue position and an estimated wait.
  • An upload that is interrupted by a service restart is picked up again instead of being lost.
  • A scan that fails to convert is reported straight away, instead of holding up every other upload in the region for 20 minutes.
  • Unit photos taken in the app now attach to their unit and appear in the job’s unit drawer, including when a scan is uploaded again.

General

  • ImprovedMore of the portal is translated into German.

Fixes & updates

Updates since the October release

2 – 7 October 2026
5 improved4 fixed

Smaller changes shipped on their own after the 1 October release.

  1. 7 October

    3D Editor performance

    • ImprovedModels load faster in the 3D Editor, and it now runs at 30 frames per second by default, which is lighter on laptops and batteries.
    • FixedLarge scenes could hang while loading on lower-powered laptops. Loading is now matched to what the device can handle.
  2. 6 October

    Large scans on lower-end devices

    • ImprovedThe 3D Editor adapts to your device’s graphics and memory, scaling scan textures down where needed so large scans load reliably.
    • ImprovedScans load one after another in the background, shown in the hierarchy with a spinner, and are kept in the browser so reloading is quicker.
    • FixedThe editor no longer runs out of memory and crashes when several large scans are loaded in one project.
    • FixedOpening a project shows the full overview of the scene again.
  3. 5 October

    Sign-in and language

    • ImprovedThe sign-in page pre-fills the email you last used, and opening a project’s 3D plan no longer asks you to type it again.
    • ImprovedThe language you choose carries over between the Holoflow home page and your account portal, and sign-in error messages are translated into German.
  4. 2 October

    NET Inhouse app

    • FixedThe Unit survey point is available in the NET Inhouse app again after going missing in the 1 October release.
Release

October Release

1 October 2026
9 new14 improved10 fixed

A big round of 3D Editor fixes and upgrades, a dashboard you can point at any period, photo downloads on your terms and a smoother Review page on phones.

3D Editor

A big round of 3D Editor fixes and upgrades.

  • View modes (including wireframe), a custom pivot for rotating around any point, and isolate to work on one object at a time.
  • Magnetic snapping when you drag route points, and select several routes at once.
  • A mouse sensitivity setting, and an indicator showing which way each photo was taken.
  • Recentring the camera and zooming to a selected line behave predictably, and the scan fades out as the camera gets close.
  • A simpler move tool, a larger scrollbar in the asset library, and text fields that wrap.
  • Long editing sessions stay signed in without reloading, and a hint appears when the browser window is too small (or, on mobile, to rotate the device).
  • Hidden objects can no longer be selected or moved; renaming routes works; missing models are back in the asset library; default route points no longer snap onto nearby equipment.
  • Lower memory use and fewer crashes in long sessions, and sharper, correctly sized display on high-resolution and mobile screens.

Dashboard

Point the dashboard at any period.

  • Choose the period the dashboard covers — last 7, 30 or 90 days, this month, this quarter, the last 12 months, or your own dates.
  • Every panel follows the selected period, including jobs created and completed, status changes and active people.
  • The period picker stays in view while you scroll.
  • Jobs with no creation date no longer appear as phantom “Unknown” jobs created today.

Photos

Download exactly the photos you need.

  • Download photos now opens a dialog where you pick the categories to include and the order they are numbered in — report order, order taken, 3D Editor order or name.
  • The same download options are on the job’s Report tab and on the customer Review page, and screenshots of points of interest are included.
  • Remove as main photo now actually removes the job’s main photo.

Review page & reports

  • ImprovedThe 3D plan starts by itself when it scrolls into view, instead of waiting behind a launch button.
  • ImprovedThe signature pad fits phones held upright, and signatures display at the right size.
  • NewOn phones, the 3D plan has touch controls, a clean view without panels, and a photo slideshow.
  • NewPause and resume the scan’s rotation in the 3D plan.
  • FixedAn empty scan date is hidden rather than shown as a broken value.
  • FixedBills of materials show generated equipment images and the Unit icon instead of placeholders, and Installation Information shows screenshots for information fields placed in the 3D Editor.

Jobs, properties & import

  • ImprovedExporting the jobs list: choose what to export, with the total job count shown for “all jobs”. Reordering columns works reliably and long column titles wrap.
  • ImprovedLink properties accept web addresses typed without https:// and add it for you.
  • ImprovedJob import checks custom property values with the same rules as the portal, and reads dates day-first.
  • FixedTimes in the job sidebar show in your local time instead of UTC.
  • ImprovedImage properties show the file name on their thumbnail, and the old “Photo” property type, which only showed a text field, is no longer offered.
  • ImprovedWhen the NET Inhouse app sends an invalid property value, the error names the property and the reason.

Accounts & administration

  • ImprovedInvited users set their password right on the invitation page and go straight in.
  • FixedInviting someone who already uses Holoflow in another region adds them straight away instead of leaving the invitation pending.
  • FixedAdministration menu items only appear for users whose role can use them.
  • ImprovedThe “new version available” prompt links to this page so you can see what changed.
  • FixedThe language selector no longer opens behind side panels, and the Extensions pane uses the NET Inhouse name.
  • NewScan previews on the Resources tab show the routing length, the number of points and the scan’s routes and equipment.
Fixes & updates

Updates since the September release

4 – 29 September 2026
1 new1 improved13 fixed

Smaller changes shipped on their own after the 3 September release.

  1. 29 September

    Job import and German characters

    • FixedImporting jobs and units from CSV now reads German special characters (ä, ö, ü, ß) correctly, whether the file was saved as UTF-8 or Windows-1252. If a job import file already contains garbled characters, you now see a warning with the affected rows.
    • FixedGerman special characters (ä, ö, ü, ß) in older jobs on the German platform have been corrected, including addresses, customer and contact names, and custom property values.
  2. 24 September

    User management

    • FixedChanging a user’s role failed with a brief error and the role was not saved. Roles can now be added and removed on the user’s page, and the last Admin on an account cannot be removed by mistake.
  3. 21 September

    3D Editor

    • FixedPlaced equipment shows its survey photo again, instead of the default catalogue thumbnail.
  4. 15 September

    Jobs and signatures

  5. 14 September

    Sign-in

  6. 11 September

    Reports

    • FixedApproval signatures were missing from the digital report and the standard PDF.
  7. 8 September

    3D Editor

    • NewDouble-click a filter in the navigation panel to show only that type of element.
    • FixedSwapping equipment keeps your camera position, and screenshots retaken on Finish match the right photo.
    • FixedThe toolbar now slides out of the way when a side panel opens.
    • FixedMissing tooltips restored on the navigation filters, tabs and undo/redo.
    • FixedFinishing no longer repeats the “unconnected elements” warning.
  8. 7 September

    Due dates

    • ImprovedDue dates sort and filter correctly in the jobs list. Every existing due date was brought into one format, so ranges and ordering are reliable across all jobs.
  9. 4 September

    Account settings

    • FixedSome administrators couldn’t save the account name and settings.

11 new18 improved18 fixed

Our biggest release since July — better job lists, floors throughout, clearer reports and a round of 3D Editor improvements.

Jobs list

Your own columns, sortable and searchable.

  • Custom property columns — add them under Table options, then sort, filter and search them like any other column.

Also in this release

Jobs & forms

  • ImprovedThe job drawer opens alongside the map and list instead of covering them.
  • ImprovedStatus reasons — such as why a job is paused — are easier to read on the Summary page.
  • FixedJobs at named buildings and some international addresses couldn’t be created.
  • FixedA building name can now be removed, and the State/Province field behaves correctly.
  • FixedCustom property values can be cleared, conditional rules are respected, and multi-line text displays as configured.
  • FixedCustom properties on units display and save correctly.
  • FixedImported jobs showed broken thumbnails; jobs without a photo now show their map tile.

Reports & templates

  • ImprovedThe report legend shows a friendly name when a piece of equipment has since left the catalogue.
  • FixedCustom report templates: the PDF now matches the Word layout; the email and preview use the selected template; “Set as default” works; bill-of-materials and legend images render; empty properties no longer print as placeholders; yes/no values follow the account language.

Photos & scans

  • ImprovedPhoto downloads are organised into separate folders for site photos and scan photos.
  • ImprovedScans keep their full texture quality after processing.
  • FixedA job’s main photo is cleared when its source photo is deleted.

3D Editor

  • FixedImporting a scan keeps every connection when route points snap to equipment.
  • FixedEnvironment search, the Finish button, hiding lines and filtering in the navigation panel, the object menu position, toolbar buttons after undo, duplicating scan-attached objects, and asset library thumbnails.

Settings & administration

  • FixedDeactivating an account now takes effect everywhere.
  • ImprovedInvited users go straight to sign-in, without the old “magic link” step.

Look & feel

  • ImprovedUpdated blue branding and consistent fonts across the portal, with a lighter, animated background that loads faster.
  • FixedLayout fixes on the Summary and Review pages and consistent spacing across grids.

Reliability & security

  • FixedScheduling a job you own was refused.
  • FixedThe 3D Editor could occasionally get stuck while loading.
  • FixedLinks to a job that no longer exists show a clear “not found” page.
  • FixedAfter an update you get the new version straight away, rather than a stale cached one.

Release

August Update

7 August 2026
4 new5 improved3 fixed

A series of smaller improvements to import, photos and reports.

Job import

  • NewExcel files upload directly — no converting your spreadsheet to CSV first.
  • ImprovedWarnings are shown up front, along with the existing job each row was matched to, so you can check the result before committing to it.
  • FixedNo more duplicates on re-import — rows now match on address as well as reference, so jobs created before you started using references are recognised rather than created again.
  • NewNamed floors via a floor names column, units created from the unit count, and a warning when a workbook has more than one sheet.

Photos

  • ImprovedPhotos on the Outputs page now default to capture order, rather than the order they happened to upload in.
  • NewReorder them by hand whenever you like — the page shows when a custom order is in effect, with a one-click reset back to capture order.
  • ImprovedGenerated reports follow the same order.

Reports

  • ImprovedPhotos in reports are now produced at full report resolution instead of being scaled up from thumbnails — a clear difference in print.
  • ImprovedReports show your annotated plan images, without repeating their raw originals.
  • NewNew template placeholders for the site location map and the date an approval signature was captured. (custom report templates)

Fixed

  • FixedExport to Excel on the jobs list produced no file.
  • FixedRe-uploading a scan after a failed attempt could corrupt the upload.
Release

July Update

20 July 2026

The major update: a new sign-in system, a redesigned 3D Editor, units and floors you manage yourself, and a single Outputs page.

3D Editor

A completely new look — and a better feel.

Top-to-bottom visual and functional refresh. This is the single biggest change in the update, and it’s live now.

  • Redesigned interface — cleaner toolbar, navigation panel and asset library throughout.
  • New asset info panel — equipment, custom properties and comments in one place.
  • Undo/redo, including grouped multi-step actions.
  • Units are first-class objects in the scene, not just a label on the job.
  • Faster and more stable — memory-leak fixes and smarter asset caching.

Units & custom properties

Proper editors, not just import.

Previously, units mostly arrived via import or scan, and custom properties were something you could only fill in — not define. That’s changed.

  • Create and manage units directly from the job Summary page — group by floor, rename, delete, drag-and-drop.
  • Better visibility and control over unit status at a glance, without opening each one.
  • Set a status and due date per unit, so progress is tracked unit by unit, not just job by job.
  • Define your own custom property types from a full admin screen — groups, conditional logic, searchable/reportable flags.

Outputs

Content and Sharing, together at last.

The old separate Outputs and Share pages are now one Outputs page, with two tabs that switch instantly — no reloads.

  • Installation information and important notes are editable inline, directly on the page.
  • Photos in a proper gallery, with captions and a lightbox viewer.
  • The resources list is now a sortable grid.

Preview

Bring your own report template.

Generate reports that match your existing paperwork like-for-like — built entirely on our own infrastructure, so your data and photos never leave the platform to be processed.

Report Templates admin screen showing an uploaded Word template with preview, download and delete actions

Upload your own Word document as a template, with placeholders for job details, custom properties, photos, the 3D plan and the captured approval signature — Holoflow fills it in per job and renders a print-accurate PDF. Talk to your account manager for early access.

Performance

Faster, more reliable, across the board.

Server-side
Job list search, sort and filter now runs server-side — dramatically faster on large job lists.
Rebuilt
Scan and photo upload pipeline — no more silent stalls on patchy connections, with clear progress and recovery.
No more
“Cold start” delays after periods of inactivity — we’ve tuned how the platform scales behind the scenes.
Dashboard

Refreshed analytics.

Clearer job-status breakdowns, better handling on smaller screens, and improved chart readability — polished further this release.

A new home

holoflow.app — and a new partnership badge.

The platform is now primarily served from holoflow.app, reflecting the Holoflow brand — existing bookmarks and links keep working. You’ll also see co-branding with NET Inhouse, the scanning app built with our partner TKI, reflecting how closely the two are integrated.
