Mobile app: Biometrics

Biometric Login is a new authentication method available after your session automatically logs out. It helps you save time by allowing quick re-entry without typing your credentials.

When you log in for the first time, you’ll have the option to enable Biometric Login. Once activated, you can use Face ID or Fingerprint ID (depending on your device) to log back in instantly.

⚠️ Please note: Biometric Login works only in online mode and appears after automatic logout, not during regular login.

Mobile app: Pending Drafts Indicator

The Pending Form Draft counter is a mobile app enhancement that helps you track and manage unsent form drafts created while offline. It ensures no draft is forgotten, and once the connection is restored, drafts can be submitted individually.

The counter appears on the Form Drafts tab in both online and offline modes, improving efficiency and reducing the risk of missing data. It allows you to quickly see which forms still need to be submitted, ensuring that all drafts are eventually sent.

Improved Company Calendar

The Company Calendar has been redesigned with a cleaner look, improved consistency, and WCAG-compliant accessibility.

Striped markings show non-working hours based on Company Working Hours setting, and color-coding with icons makes tracking event types and statuses easier at a glance.

You can now view completed and cancelled tasks, create events with a click or move with drag-and-drop, and clearly distinguish all-day and hourly events.

Tender Enhancements – Step Back, Offer Analysis & Preserving Inputs

This release is rich in Tender enhancements!

  • Step Back in Tender Approval – You can now return a tender from In Progress or Declined status back for review, adding comments along the way. Business rules and validations ensure the process stays consistent and controlled. The action is fully auditable – all step backs are visible in the Tender View → Activity Log.
  • Clearer Offer Analysis – The Tender Offer Analysis screen now highlights item-level price indicators, showing the lowest and non-lowest offers with clear visual cues. This makes it easier to compare offers at a glance.
  • Preserve Custom Inputs Between Offers – When a participant submits a new offer within the same round, their custom input values from the previous offer can now be automatically carried over. This reduces manual re-entry and speeds up the offer process.  

💡 Need changes to your setup?
If you’d like to enable the automation that preserves custom input values between offers, please contact the Archdesk Support Team. We’ll help configure the right setup for your workflow.

Approve Multiple Documents

You can now approve multiple documents at once. Just select the documents and click Approve above the Documents table. 

  • If a document has no approval process, it will be published.
  • If a document is in Draft or In Progress, the current stage will be approved, and it will move to the next one.
  • Documents that are Declined or already fully Approved will be skipped.

With this function, you save time and avoid extra manual work.

Clearer approval status and stage tracking on the lists

The Status column has been refreshed and standardised across Archdesk, making approval processes easier to follow.

  • Statuses now display as: Draft, Cancelled, In Progress (with stage name), and Completed
  • A new Approval Stage column shows the current stage of the approval flow directly in the list view
  • Status labels now include WCAG-compliant icons, ensuring they’re accessible and easy to recognize for all users

These improvements apply to Purchase Orders, Sales Invoices, Purchase Invoices, Documents, Quotes, and Variations, giving you a clearer overview of progress at a glance.

Quote PDFs Attached to Emails

From now on, Quote emails include a PDF attachment by default.

  • The attached PDF is the same file you generate via Download PDF (custom template or default).
  • It is also possible to configure other strategies:

    • Additional PDFs can be attached alongside the default one
    • Alternative PDFs can replace the default one
  • Files stored in the Files module under Quote data can also be attached to emails. These files are included as links, not as direct attachments.

💡 Need changes to your setup?
If you’d like to disable attaching PDFs, use another template, or include additional files/links, please contact the Archdesk Support Team. We’ll help configure the right setup for your workflow.

Tendering on Quote Sub-Items

You can now create Tenders just with Quote sub-items, not only with main items.
This gives you more flexibility in procurement when working with detailed quotes.

Two ways of creating Tender from Quote are available:

  • Create Tender from Items – main/simple items only
  • Create Tender from Sub-Items – sub-items only

💡 Need changes to your setup?
Contact the Archdesk Support Team – we’ll help you configure the best automations for your workflow.

Copy Tender Awarded Prices into dedicated item fields on Quotes

A new workflow allows you to copy awarded Tender prices directly into dedicated Quote item columns (e.g. Materials).
This ensures that the agreed Tender price flows seamlessly back into your project quotes, keeping data consistent and avoiding extra manual steps.

⚙️ Activation required: This workflow needs to be enabled by your Archdesk Administrator.
