## **Quick Filters and Improved UI For Faster SKU Auditing**

During audits, it was hard to quickly see what had already been audited vs. what was still missing.

**What’s new:**

**Live audit progress + quick filters**

You can now filter SKUs instantly using a new top bar:

- **All**: Shows all SKUs (default)
- **Audited**: Shows SKUs with a completed selection (**YES / NL**, **LOW / OVS only when quantity is filled**, and **NO only when a reason is selected**)
- **Unaudited**: Shows SKUs with no selection yet, or missing required info (e.g., **NO without reason**, **LOW / OVS without quantity**)

As soon as a user audits an SKU, the **counts and list update automatically**, no refresh needed.

**Improved auditing UI + clearer validations**

- Selecting **LOW** or **OVS** now opens a **Quantity** drawer, and the user can’t apply until the **quantity is filled**.
- If **YES quantity** is enabled, selecting **YES** opens the **Quantity** drawer and still allows the user to apply even if the quantity is left empty.

## **Improved Add Schedule Experience**

We’ve improved the **Add Schedule** flow to make it faster and easier to select the correct branch and complete scheduling.

**Nearby branches in the branch picker**

- Branches now display a **distance badge** when location data is available.
- The list now prioritizes **nearby branches first**, helping users select the right branch faster.

**Improved the Add Schedule menu**

The header **3-dot menu** has been updated with a clearer structure and smoother navigation:

- **Add Branch Visit** → Opens the branch picker
- **Add User Visit** → Opens the user picker

## **Column Layout Now Available In More Reports**

The **Column Layout** feature (show/hide columns) is now available in **Visits Report**, **Stock Count Data Bank**, and **Stock Count Summary**. This gives you the flexibility to view only the data that matters most, consistent with other reports where Column Layout is already supported. **Alternative columns** are also included.

## **Performance Evaluation: Evaluator Selfie for Clearer Accountability**

We’ve made **Performance Evaluation** more transparent by clearly showing **who evaluated** and **who was evaluated**, with supporting **image indicators** in key places. This helps prevent self-evaluations and improves fairness in performance tracking.

On the **mobile app**, you can now (optionally) require the evaluator to take a **selfie** before submitting an evaluation. When enabled, the Performance module won’t open until the selfie is captured, and the photo is saved as the **Evaluator Image** for that evaluation.

On the **portal**, the evaluator image is now displayed in the **Completion Report** and **Visit Details** (Performance Evaluation tab).

## **Price Collection Variance: Smarter Price Comparison in Data Bank export**

We’ve improved the **Price Collection > Data Bank > Price Collection Variance export** to make price comparisons more meaningful. The export now compares **Company vs. Competitor** prices using the **promo price** when an item is on promotion; otherwise, the **regular price**.

## **In-Audit Guidelines In Share Of Shelf Module**

You can now add short, bullet-point **guidelines** at the **Category** and **Subcategory** level to standardize how Share of Shelf audits are performed.

In the mobile app, field reps can view these guidelines during the audit via a quick **info icon** on the SOS screen, displayed in the app’s language (with alternative-language support when available).

## **Control Visibility of Cancel Reasons on Mobile App And Portal**

You can now control which **cancel reasons** are visible to users. From **Setup > Company > Cancel Reasons**, admins can choose to **hide a reason from the mobile app** and/or **the portal**, keeping admin-only reasons out of field users’ options and making cancellation lists cleaner.

## **Option to Include Cancelled Visits in Coverage %**

Cancelled visits can now be **counted as covered** in coverage metrics, so missed visits don’t look unnecessarily higher for teams that treat cancellations as a completed outcome.

Admins can enable this via a new widget setting: **“Include cancelled visits in coverage reports”**. When enabled, **cancelled** visits are included in coverage calculations across **coverage reports, dashboard coverage charts**, and the existing **scheduled email** **notification**.

## **SKU Group Filtering In The Availability Report**

You can now filter the **Availability Report** by **SKU Groups**, allowing you to view **group availability** directly in the report. This update also applies to the **scheduled email notification **for the Availability Report.

## **Visit Survey Mandatory Before Submission**

You can now require field reps to complete the **Visit Survey** before **submitting a visit**, ensuring the survey is always captured as part of the visit flow. This can be enabled via the **“Visit Survey mandatory”** security tag.
