Web Portal Updates
The latest version of COMMAND Center Concrete 4 on the web introduces a few new features designed to make reporting and data navigation more flexible and user-friendly.
One of the most useful additions is the custom date range filter. This feature is currently only available on the web version, not on iOS. It allows users to zoom in on specific timeframes or filter out irrelevant data. If a custom range is applied when generating a report, the exported report will reflect only that selected range.
Another important change is the relocation of the Reports feature. Previously accessed from the Placements screen, Reports are now generated from the Charts screen. To run a report, users still begin by selecting the desired sensors on the Placements screen. After that, they can switch over to the Charts screen, where a new “Report” button appears at the top. From there, they can choose the report type they’d like to generate.
Excel reports have also been improved for smoother formatting. If sensor names include special characters like $, &, *, or #, those characters will now be automatically removed and replaced with only alphanumeric text. This update reduces issues with exporting and formatting. These improvements apply specifically to the Temperature Differential and Selected Sensors reports.
To access these new features, users should update to the latest version of the web portal.
iOS App Updates (Version 4.1.7)
The COMMAND Center Concrete 4 iOS app has also been updated, now available in version 4.1.7. While most of the changes are behind-the-scenes bug fixes and minor UI improvements, a few updates also improve the clarity of sensor-related messages.
One of these changes affects how scanned sensors are displayed. When a sensor is added to a placement by scanning its label, no historical sensor data is transferred. Instead, only the sensor’s label information, such as serial number, cable length, and programmed interval, is pulled in. Once scanned, the sensor appears in the placement list with a message in grey text underneath the name. That message has now been updated to read: “No data.” This indicates that the sensor is recognized, but no actual data has been retrieved from it yet.
Another update clarifies what users see when a sensor has been placed but no readings have been collected after the set placement time. When adding a sensor for the first time, users are prompted to input the placement date and time the moment the sensor is embedded in concrete. The app uses the first data point after this time as the starting point for charting and analysis. By default, this time is set to the current time. If the user leaves it as-is, or sets a future time, no qualifying data may yet exist. In that case, the message beneath the sensor name now reads: “No data since placement.” This confirms that the sensor is active, and data has been stored, but none has been recorded after the specified placement time.
To take full advantage of these improvements, make sure both your web portal and iOS app are updated to the latest versions.
