# New Releases - June 29th, 2026

## 🚀 What's New This Month in Civalgo?

These new features will be available **as of Tuesday, June 30**.

This month, we've focused on improving resource planning, project management, forms, mapping, and time off management.

Here's what's new 👇

***

### 📝 Add notes directly in the Resource Planner

You can now add notes to a project directly on your planning.

Simply hover over a resource block to instantly view its associated note.

This is perfect for adding reminders, special instructions, or important context for your team without having to open the project.

![](/files/wrxHC75tmIfh1utFiq63)

![](/files/MmnuwYJ6PGPiH1Wt6dLz)

***

### 🇪🇸 The platform now supports SPANISH

Are you or your employees more comfortable in Spanish? You can now switch your platform’s personal settings to Spanish in the top left.

![](/files/u3WVjLeUx6yl6AoWBDhf)

## 📊 New Project Performance Dashboard

A brand-new **Project Performance** tab is now available inside every project.

Access your project's key information in one centralized view to better monitor performance, budgets, and important project metrics.

This new dashboard helps you stay on top of your projects and make informed decisions faster.

![](/files/Yi1cxpFpzrGMooGyfITY)

***

## 📍 A brand-new map experience

The Civalgo map has a fresh new look!

The updated map allows you to:

* View suppliers in relation to your projects
* See project locations alongside your teams
* View project manager information
* Edit projects directly from the map

You can also open the map directly using the **Directions** button.

To get the most out of the map, make sure your project and organization addresses are up to date.

The result? A clearer, more intuitive map that makes it easier to locate projects, suppliers, and resources.

![](/files/UDj8saK9eyOjjZidsRDe)

![](/files/K7paYoadsGCEAlf4mDUE)

***

## 📄 Forms just got even more powerful

We're continuing to improve Forms so they become your central tool for collecting and managing field information.

#### 📧 Send forms directly by email

You can now send forms by email without leaving Civalgo.

It’s now even easier to share your forms with clients, subcontractors, or team members.

![](/files/zn0S2B03HWzK19YJFYab)

#### 📈 Export up to 10,000 responses to Excel

The maximum number of exported form responses has increased from **50 to 10,000 rows**.

This is a major improvement for organizations managing large volumes of data and analyzing results in Excel.

![](/files/rWPZaSQflXeYjCTtCFFY)

***

### 🌴 Time Off is now visible in the Employee Planner

Approved time off is now displayed directly in the Employee Planner.

You can instantly see who's available before assigning work, helping reduce scheduling conflicts and making dispatch planning even easier.

![](/files/7Aq81UB1Z6lxGnhZzxfl)

***

## ✨ Plus many more improvements

We've also included several smaller enhancements throughout the platform:

* Weekly hours worked are now displayed in Logbook
* Form responses can now be exported as Excel (.xlsx) files
* New **Files** tab in the Logbook desktop view
* Default company-wide Time Off approver
* Support for multiple Time Off approvers

# New Releases - August 3rd, 2026

## 🚀 What's New This Month in Civalgo?

These new features will be availablet hroughout the month.

This month, we've focused on making resource planning faster, improving data quality, and simplifying the way your teams work in Civalgo.

Here's what's new 👇

***

## Plan resources faster with generic employees and equipment

You can now assign **generic employees** and **generic equipment** directly from the Dispatcher.

Previously, this could only be done by opening each Daily Log individually, making the process time-consuming.

Now, you can plan your work directly from the timeline while keeping your Daily Logs accurate and up to date.

The result? Faster dispatching and less manual work for your team.

![](/files/pNHuQwJKBym31asAbTkp)

***

## Daily Logs are now easier to read

We've redesigned the resource cards in Daily Logs to make important information easier to identify at a glance.

You can now quickly see details such as:

* Employee occupation
* Organization
* Additional resource information

This makes it much easier to identify the right people and equipment, especially on larger projects with many resources.

![](/files/xT6Op39xsmUWiO9rJV5t)

***

## A completely redesigned Organizations page

The Organizations page has been rebuilt from the ground up.

You can now:

* Assign a primary contact
* Store email addresses and phone numbers
* Attach custom properties to organizations

The new layout is cleaner, more intuitive, and provides the information your team needs in one place.

It also brings greater consistency across the platform, making organization data easier to maintain over time.

Before moving on to the refactored layout of the organizations page it’s worth mentioning that the form has also been reworked to include those new fields.

![](/files/tGnxeJjOAXF4duSjZIPA)

![](/files/Qg8LtO4yqlWS1VhBNrrc)

***

## Custom properties are now available on projects

Projects now support **custom properties**, giving you more flexibility to organize and manage project information.

This enhancement keeps Projects consistent with other areas of Civalgo that already support custom properties and makes your data easier to structure as your business grows.

![](/files/5B8D9n0Veab25Gb6dPEs)

***

## Coming soon: More accurate labor cost calculations

We're putting the finishing touches on a major improvement to Civalgo's labor cost calculations.

Soon, Civalgo will automatically account for:

* Shift schedules
* Overtime calculations
* Automatic pay rate selection

Furthermore, this feature computes how many hours are in overtime or double overtime based on the shift configuration

Why does this matter?

For many contractors, overtime represents a significant portion of labor costs. Today, this can create a noticeable gap between estimated and actual job costs.

By automatically accounting for shift rules and overtime, Civalgo will provide more accurate real-time labor costs, giving you a clearer picture of your project's profitability.

Stay tuned, this feature is coming soon.

<figure><img src="/files/w6t3RrAsxHuEfHCEobAq" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

***

#### A more flexible navigation experience

We've improved the Civalgo sidebar to help you navigate the platform more efficiently.

You can now:

* Collapse and expand menu sections to to hide a section you don’t want to see
* Access all settings from a single drop down
* Pin the navigation menu open or have it automatically close after selecting a page

<figure><img src="/files/povHYZB8GjfvtdzRlZkR" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

![](/files/6zlL7FA72tmPlbln7Xqb)

***

## 👥 Discover the Project Manager Hub

Introduced last month, the **Project Manager Hub** is now officially available.

Designed as an intelligent homepage for managers, the Hub centralizes key project, cost, and operational information to help teams make faster and more informed decisions.

![](/files/5AUbKXDk8Mz5x3sVuzco)

Employees can now submit time-off requests directly within Civalgo.

<figure><img src="/files/jxFlaaBWp1nED7FsZ6d1" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

***

## 📝 Forms Are Coming to Logbook

Forms will soon be available directly within Logbook to simplify field data collection.

Your employees will be able to complete forms directly from the mobile app, even while offline, and automatically sync responses once reconnected. Responses will also be accessible in Civalgo and exportable as Excel files for improved operational tracking.

This new feature is especially valuable for teams looking to complete and manage forms directly from the field through Logbook.

### **What’s New This Month in Civalgo 🚀**

This month, we’re introducing improvements that give you more control, better visibility, and a smoother experience both in the field and at the office.

Simply create a form with the required fields, then take or upload a photo, and Civalgo will automatically extract and fill in relevant information in your forms.

![](/files/2D4eF8x9PJQxq4SYINbY)

### 🕒 Time Off: better visibility, better workforce planning

**The new Time Off module is now available in Civalgo to help you manage employee availability, avoid scheduling conflicts, and improve dispatch planning.**

**You can now:**

* Create custom time off categories and policies (vacation, sick leave, unpaid leave, etc.)
* Track employee balances and upcoming absences

<img src="/files/Pf8gLUgrjjBLGFlBwnpr" alt="" width="321">

* Record time off directly in Civalgo

![image.png](/files/ciHux85YWsBcxSmxhDgn)

### 🔧 Match equipment to an employee at the daily log level

**To give you more flexibility in the field, you can now associate a specific equipment to an employee directly within a daily log.**

This allows you to override the default operated equipment for that employee, but only for the selected daily log.

* With the 3 dots next to the employee, assign the equipment for the day.

👉 Once assigned:

* The association is automatically used when creating time blocks
* The correct equipment is included in SMS dispatch communications

<img src="/files/ifx2qdwrfA0kCvJUVvFB" alt="" width="375">

This feature is especially useful when equipment changes from one project or day to another or when you need more accurate tracking without modifying default settings

<figure><img src="/files/xjGiv2T5205bnvIlYdKO" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### **Customize what you see in time blocks**

You can now choose what information is displayed directly inside each time block, such as operated equipment, pensions, and more.

This allows you to tailor your view based on your needs, so you can focus on the most relevant information without opening each block or switching screens.

### 📒 Logbook: a cleaner, more flexible experience

We’ve updated Logbook to make it more intuitive and better adapted to your day-to-day needs.

* **New Logbook interface (UI update)**

  Logbook now features a refreshed interface designed to improve readability and navigation.The result: a cleaner experience and faster access to the information you need in the field.

**The Project Manager Hub is on its way.**

👉 This new dashboard will help you:

## Stronger Branding Across All Your Documents

Your logo can now appear on forms, fillable PDFs, and work orders that require signatures. Whether documents are shared with clients, subcontractors, or partners, they now carry your brand identity clearly and consistently, reinforcing credibility and presenting a more polished image at every step of your operations. The logo can be easily added and managed directly from your platform settings by your administrators.

## TPL Integration Now Live

The connection between **TPL and Civalgo is now available.** Bringing your estimates and budgets from TPL into Civalgo is now faster and fully streamlined.

You can transfer your TPL estimations and budgets directly into Civalgo in just a few clicks. This means you save time, reduce mistakes, and move from estimation to execution with greater efficiency and confidence.

To enable the export to Civalgo, clients must first contact TPL to validate their current version and request activation of the export option. Once confirmed, the integration can be used seamlessly within Civalgo.

If you're interested in this integration but are not currently using TPL, please reach out to your Civalgo Account Manager. They will guide you through the appropriate plan, setup process, and any upgrade options to ensure you can fully benefit from this new capability.

If you have any questions, your Account Manager will be happy to assist you.

#### Explore new features and improvements, all designed to streamline your construction projects and make your work easier.

### Dispatch & Daily Logs: better data, better decisions

**To help teams make more accurate pension calculations and smarter dispatch decisions, we’ve added an employee address field.**

This address allows you to validate travel distances without cross-checking external systems and quickly identify which employee is closer, and more cost-effective, to send to a project.

The address is linked to the employee’s work card (not their home address) and will also be used in the future for automatic pension assignment on projects.

![](/files/xkkQVIIP1ZoJ4YsVmvCF)

#### **Employee properties now visible and filterable when adding to a daily log**

**To ensure the right people are assigned to the right work, employee properties are now visible and filterable when adding employees to a daily log.**

You can view and filter by permits, licenses, or certifications directly in the add employee dialog, making it easy to find qualified workers without leaving the daily log or checking information elsewhere.

![](/files/KFMeryoAL5y7kG9cCuCx)

### **Geofencing: ensuring time entries are made at the right jobsite**

**To ensure that time is logged from the correct location, we added a geofencing feature to Logbook.**

Employees can now punch in only if they are within a defined distance of the jobsite, as configured in the settings. If they are too far from the project location, time entry is automatically blocked.

This helps companies:

* Ensure employees are physically on-site when logging their hours
* Prevent time entries on the wrong project
* Improve the overall reliability of time tracking without adding friction for field teams

<img src="/files/iuGrqDvVUI8UpKlXSpXA" alt="" width="375">

In addition, projects can now be **sorted by distance from the user’s current location**, making it easier for employees to quickly select the correct project when arriving on-site.

### **New Logbook landing page**

Logbook now opens directly on the daily logs and projects, to make it easier join a daily log with fewer clicks. The profile is still accessible from the bottom tab.

# New Releases - January 7th, 2026

## **Discover the latest updates from Civalgo this month**

#### Explore new features and improvements, all designed to streamline your construction projects and make your work easier.

## **Happy New Year! 🎉**

We’re kicking off 2026 on the right foot with several recent improvements already rolled out in Civalgo.

Let’s start the year strong, here’s what’s new 👇

### Dispatcher & projects: more clarity, fewer workarounds

Discover the latest improvements ! These updates are designed to simplify planning, reduce errors, and provide better visibility for both field teams and office staff.

Here’s what’s changed:

* **Equipment codes now visible and searchable in the dispatcher**

  Equipment codes are now displayed in the equipment list and included in the search.

  You can now quickly find the right equipment, no more Excel workarounds or re-importing required.
* **Dispatcher filters are saved automatically**

  Your filters now stay active during navigation and are saved automatically.

  This allows you to continue dispatching without losing context or constantly reapplying filters.
* **Daily log list now visible from any projects**

  have access to the entire list of daily logs directly from your projects to have better visibility and quicker access to data!

![](/files/odtrSRae3JGe8MAPnu0P)

### Logbook: even better connected to the field

We continue to improve Logbook so it becomes a true reference point for both field teams and project managers.

* **Daily log descriptions now available in Logbook**

  Daily log descriptions are now visible in the *Info* tab of Logbook.

  Have important information to share with your field teams? No more confusion, add instructions, notes, and logistical details directly in the description.

  The result? A single source of truth, accessible both on-site and in the office.

  ![](/files/osmMWESg9rQ4R6BxTBRw)
* **Clear sync status indicators**

  A sync indicator (cloud icon) shows whether the daily log or its blocks have been successfully synced to Civalgo.

  No more guessing, you immediately know if the information is up to date.

  **Tap the cloud icon** to get more details about the sync status:

  * 🟡 **Yellow status**: the block is **currently being sent to Civalgo**.

    Tapping the yellow status opens a **popup**, indicating that the synchronization is in progress.
  * 🔴 **Red status**: an **error occurred while sending the block to Civalgo**.

    In this case, the data is **still stored on the user’s phone**, but **is not yet available in Civalgo**.

    Tapping the red status opens a **dialog** that allows the user to **retry the synchronization**.

    ![](/files/527vBmNEdNgmhsgvHhKv)

Once the information is **successfully synced to Civalgo**, the status indicator **automatically disappears**.

* **Faster project selection with search**

  A search bar has been added when filtering projects in files.

  Find the right project in seconds, even when managing a long list.
* **View Civalgo blocks directly in Logbook**

  Blocks from other daily logs are now visible, to prevent overlapping time entries for other projects

  This helps you easily identify and prevent scheduling conflicts.

### ⚠️ Scheduled maintenance notice

We would like to inform you of a **scheduled maintenance** planned for **January 12, between 8:00 PM and 9:00 PM (EST)**.

During this time, the **Civalgo platform and the Logbook application will be temporarily unavailable**.

### 1. Team-less Daily Logs are here

# New releases - July 3rd, 2025

Every month, we share the latest updates so you can make the most of the tools available to you.

Here’s what’s new — all updates are live as of today!

## ✅ Recent Logbook Improvements <a href="#h_c10f84d9e1" id="h_c10f84d9e1"></a>

Over the past few weeks, Civalgo has made some great updates to the Logbook to make things clearer and easier

First, employees who have been dispatched in Civalgo can now start daily logs directly for the specific team and project they've been assigned to.

More Accurate Daily Logs: What's In It For You?

* Fewer Mistakes: No more mix-ups! Their hours will always be logged to the correct team, even if they are working with a different group than usual.
* See Future Plans: Users can view which team they are scheduled with in advance.
* Retroactive Logs Still Available: Need to record past hours? Users can still create daily logs for previous days.

<figure><img src="https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/hmgd70zm/1600754415/29b847d5860ec870e419a4178830/Logbook+Feature.gif?expires=1756137600&#x26;signature=2e128a82362bd47c41943ac61a3eed64c16bf3b0ba2107322b67b59e78f36853&#x26;req=dSYnFs57mYVeXPMW1HO4zcuQ8tMBDTNIe79L6WJtB8ZB8mwSlUy1GNEYq7uC%0ANZms%0A" alt="" width="188"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

We now display the distance between the project location and the user's location when they punch in, with a warning if the distance exceeds 5 km.

This feature allows:

* Accurate Time: Confirms on-site presence for precise timekeeping and cost allocation.
* Boosts Accountability & Safety Compliance: Provides verifiable data for employee location during clock-ins.
* Optimizes Resources: Improves real-time visibility for better project management and deployment.

### ✅ Resource Planner, rebuilt for more control <a href="#h_bf344da02b" id="h_bf344da02b"></a>

We’ve rebuilt the Resource Planner from the ground up, not just with a fresh new look, but with powerful new features to give you more visibility and flexibility.

* Seamless Monthly Scrolling: Easily scroll from month to month without interruption. It's now much simpler to create schedules that cover many months. Gone are the days when you had to stop at the 30th, switch months, and start again from the 1st.
* Flexible Scheduling: Your schedule is now separate from daily logs. This means you can update your plans even after work has started. You can also clearly see what was actually scheduled versus what was worked on but not planned.
* New Project View: Group your team planner by project. This gives you a quick overview of how many teams are assigned to a single project. Bonus: You'll also see the project's planned start and end dates in the background, helping you connect your project schedule to your resources.

And that’s not all, many other tweaks are waiting for you to explore - we’d love your feedback to keep shaping the next improvements!

When creating a daily log, the list of team leaders is still filled in automatically, but you can edit it at any time directly in the log.

🔐 Each team leader assigned will have access to the log, as per their current permission settings.

To make things even clearer, we’ve removed the “Scheduler” field, which was often confusing and didn’t add much value. Now, everything is handled through the team leader list — making setup more straightforward and intuitive.

## ✅ Overtime in employee cost tracking <a href="#h_bf344da02b" id="h_bf344da02b"></a>

You can now define rates for overtime, double time, and triple time in the Resource Rates page.

These rates are now available in the Cost tab of the daily log, where you can apply them manually when needed.

The result? Greater control and accuracy in your cost tracking — right at the point of entry.

By default, regular rates are still applied automatically based on your configured priorities, but this new flexibility gives you more precision when overtime applies.

*Automatic application of these rates is planned for a future update.*

# New releases - February 1st, 2025

## ✅ Monetary and Quantitative Pensions <a href="#h_87b67bfa20" id="h_87b67bfa20"></a>

From now on, we have the possibility of having monetary and quantitative pensions. This means that from your organization, you will be able to adjust your pensions by adding either an amount or a duration of times. It can also be in the negative. Once this is adjusted, within each task bloc in your daily log, your workers will be able to add the appropriate pension in regards of the task he is on. This means that pensions will be automatically associated with an activity. These pensions will add time or remove it and also add or remove a monetary cost to your daily cost.

<figure><img src="https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/hmgd70zm/1360341606/f2240161408e80114320ba016043/CleanShot+2025-01-28+at+10_41_59%402x+%281%29.png?expires=1756505700&#x26;signature=fdf372ff83e5fbd4f44c10b0e10c8e0b76674fec48b858542550721e80d2e06f&#x26;req=dSMhFsp6nIdfX%2FMW1HO4zdyc6biS4ipx%2FDLprijp8QkBFfQUWXE2saKRcUWJ%0AJPgS%0A" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## ✅ Addition of Units to Equipment <a href="#h_3bf0c35cb4" id="h_3bf0c35cb4"></a>

Equipment units were previously based on time, but now, within the Equipment Rates page, you can set a specific rate for an individual piece of equipment or an equipment type. You will now be able to assign a rate per number of trips, per ton, per day, etc. Once this rate is set, it will automatically populate in the Daily Log when selecting this type of equipment and unit. You can still enter a number of hours in the Daily Log for this equipment if desired, this will provide productivity! The units offered in the daily log bloc will be the ones coming form the rate pages.

Note that project-specific rates will override the platform rate settings. Let’s start writing!

### **Tracking Worked Hours – Overview Section**

In the **Overview** section under the **Payroll** tab, go to the **“Worked Hours”** tab.

Here you will find:

* A **list of your employees** with the total hours per week.
* A **“Daily Report Status” column** showing if some reports still need validation.

**Tip:** If you hover your cursor over a cell in the **“Daily Report Status”** column, a tooltip will appear showing:

* The **list of daily reports** for that employee and the status of each report.
* The **number of hours entered per day.**
* A quick overview of the **team name, team lead, shift, and daily report title** for that period.

This helps you quickly identify incomplete or unvalidated entries and ensure accurate time entry before exporting to payroll.
