What's new — Ontraq

2026-05-29

Bulk job scheduling + duplicate

Added

Schedule jobs on multiple dates in one go — New "Multiple dates" toggle on the job creation page. Pick a date range plus days of the week and the system creates one independent job per occurrence. Each can be edited or cancelled on its own.
Duplicate a job to a future date — A "Duplicate" dropdown on the job detail page — tomorrow, next week, two weeks, or four weeks out. The new job inherits the site, cleaner, time, and notes; the cleaner gets an invitation just like the create flow.

Fixed

Cleaners now see job checklists on every job — Contractors could set up checklist templates per site or org-wide, but they never flowed through to scheduled jobs — the cleaner's checklist section was always empty. Templates now automatically attach to every matching job.

2026-05-28

Added

Public FAQ page — Nine commonly-asked questions on a dedicated /faq route, with a route to support if you don't find what you need.
Product showcase on the landing page — A laptop and phone now fly in on load and auto-cycle through four real product views — Dashboard, Schedule, Live map, Invoice. Tabs are clickable.
"Built for the Australian field service market" section — Calls out AU GST, ABN validation, AU data residency, local support, and fortnightly payruns.
Animated feature spotlights — Scheduler cells stagger-fill with three job-type colours; the map zooms in with pin drops and pulsing geofences; invoice line items appear with a "Sent ✓" badge.

Improved

Unified marketing header — Consistent nav and logo across /, /pricing, /faq, /changelog. The active section underlines as you scroll past it.
Smooth section navigation — In-page anchors scroll smoothly with sticky-header offset so headings land below the bar.

Fixed

TrialBanner showing for cleaners — Trial countdowns and upgrade prompts are a contractor concern — cleaners no longer see them.

Improved

Web contractor app is fully responsive — Sidebar collapses to a hamburger drawer on mobile, with backdrop, body-scroll-lock, and auto-close on route change.
Set-password page rewritten — Warm "Welcome to Ontraq" screen with real-time strength meter and "Matches" confirmation chip.
Dashboard empty states — $0.00 placeholders replaced with friendly messaging ("None yet", "All caught up").
Tab bar contrast on mobile — Inactive tabs bumped for WCAG AA — they no longer read as disabled.

Added

Mobile primitives — Branded ConfirmDialog (with spring entry + haptics), FormKeyboardView wrapper, SkeletonList shimmer loaders.
Invite-link recovery UI — Expired or already-used invite links now land on a friendly "Link expired" screen with three recovery paths.

2026-05-23

Added

Mobile cleaner "Upcoming jobs" tab — Next 14 days, including projected occurrences of recurring jobs.
Mobile contractor job editing — Edit existing jobs from the mobile app with the same fields as the create flow.
Web photos viewer on the job detail page — Thumbnail grid with lightbox, prev/next, and GPS metadata for every shot the cleaner uploaded.
Web checklist template management — Inline create/edit/delete of templates — name, frequency, site, items — with diff-by-description updates so historical references stay intact.

Fixed

Mobile cleaner "Today's jobs" missing recurring jobs — The query filtered by scheduled_start, which is null for recurring rows. Rewritten to match the web pattern.
Mobile contractor Team and Payslips showed zero cleaners — Ambiguous Postgres embed (two FKs from cleaner_companies to profiles). Resolved with explicit join syntax.

2026-05-20

Fixed

handle_new_user trigger was silently broken in production — Five orphan auth.users rows had no matching profiles. The trigger is now hardened and the orphans are backfilled (migration 016).

Added

"Resend invite" button on the team page — Uses Supabase magic-link generation so it works for existing users too, where the inviteUserByEmail API fails.

2026-05-15

Added

Australian GST handling as a first-class concept — Cents-only arithmetic, ABN auto-validation against the ABR, tax-inclusive or tax-exclusive toggle per invoice (migration 015).
Multi-org delegation model — Sub-contractor partners can see their parent's jobs without double data entry. Visibility enforced via the visible_org_ids() SQL function.
