QLD FOCUS Whitsunday and Fraser Coast sign

onto Reflect for RMPC management

These two councils became the 35th and 36th Reflect

council sites in Queensland and we are looking forward

the implementation of the software in a couple of

weeks time. After looking at what Reflect has to offer

and comparing to what is available, both sites have

adopted a similar approach by implementing RMPC

database and then moving to other assets at a later

date. The Asset Edge suite of mobile solutions

continue to generate massive interest

across Australia.

Changes to your Reflect Web version are available now

Reflect Windows - New Report feature in ver 2017.1.0

If you don’t have version 2017.1.0 Reflect Windows, give the support desk a call on 1300 219 552 and

they can upgrade your council. There is a new button in Reports Window:

“Sort By Screen”. This sorts the available fields according to the order they

appear on the Explore View grid. This will be helpful especially if the user

has been arranging the Explore View grid to their preferred order and they

would like the same sequence when selecting fields to report on. You can change back to “Sort by

Alphabetical” if you prefer this order to find the fields for your report. Well done Angelo B , another

fantastic addition to the Windows

version as a result of a request by

one of our users.

If you haven't logged into Reflect Web for a while,? you should as there have been may enhance-

ments to this platform. The first thing you will notice is the larger map view. There are many new

tools to customise your screen. Reflect Web is the best choice for reviewing and reporting your elec-

tronic forms. New Forms can be added and existing forms edited. Google map and satellite views

along with the new KML output features are all

proving popular. The access to Web version

continues to be free for unlimited users. Reflect

Web administrators can create new users and

provide limited access to those that login in.

Recover - Natural Disaster Damage Solution—NEWS

New Form 4 (QRA)

One of our Recover councils has been instructed by QRA to

use a new Form 4 from those used in 2016. It has a few

modified and added columns. If you require this new output

please contact the Asset Edge support desk 1300 219 552

and explain you need the Form 4. You may need to send

your provided form to us so we can check for you that it will

work as you require. Asset Edge will continue to work on the

software and reporting to best meet the needs of QRA and the councils.

NEW RELEASE SOON

The date of our release of the new Recover has been held back a little as we have decided to jam in

some great additions to compliment what is already Australia's leading NDRRA Damage Collection

Software. The Restoration module is complete and we will be providing the new version to all Council’

s with a current Software Maintenance agreement for free.

HOW THE AGREEMENTS WORK

56 councils across Australia have a current 16/17 agreement.

The annual agreement outlines Asset Edge commitment supporting the

software, data hosting and services. If your council wishes to signup to

Recover then please contact Donna Hurst dhurst@assetedge.com.au

IMAGES (LAT/LONG) METADATA

This is becoming more and more critical as QRA and NDRAA guidelines

clearly stipulate this requirement as mandatory when submitting

applications for funding. Recover users can be confident that the

information captured on the field devices retains the coordinates of the

photo which then can be used in analysis and reporting.

Recover Licence The enterprise Licence is for unlimited users and devices for Android and Web ver-

sion of Recover software for the duration of the agreement No fee

Recover Upgrades and fixes All releases for Android/Web version Form Updates as required by State Authorities No fee

Recover Help Desk Support Phone support business hours 9am-5pm No fee

Recover Data Hosting All damage data information in images resides on AE dedicated servers No fee

Recover Event Fee Fixed Price per activated/declared event added into Recover Database $5000

Recover Training Training for office and field staff - be prepared for an event (optional) $1500

Vigil News - More New Dashboards for TMR

Vigil Surveillance Software in Queensland is now a reality with

five Districts across Qld having direct access to RMPC Reflect

council Defects, Planned Works and Accomplishment records

and images. The NorthWest District holds a Vigil Licence but is

yet to commission the surveillance solution.

Vigil Web and Mobile also allows the TMR Engineers and In-

spectors to record their own surveillance items and Identified

works on the State Classified Road Network. They are also able

to access customised Electronic Forms. In 2017 this information

will be available to council Service Providers with READ ONLY

access through their Reflect Web database

Asset Edge now clear leader in mobile solutions across QLD

In the last four years the team at Asset Edge has

worked very hard to gain the confidence of Local

Councils in Queensland. We now are entering a new

phase and enjoying the co-operative environment

that we have in place in other states. Providing the

support and services expected by every single user

of the software is what we focus on. We anticipate

further take-up of our products in 2017 due to the

confidence in the market and improved system

integration and data management services.

Electronic Forms in Reflect for Compliance (Part 2)

In the last newsletter we discussed Electronic forms in

Reflect to be used for capturing and condition rating

council assets (example Culverts, Grids, Guardrail ).

This newsletter we will look at how Compliance forms can

be created, issued , used and reported on in Reflect. With

the recent addition of Electronic Signatures on the customised

forms, we are seeing councils now replacing paper based

methods at a faster rate than ever seen before.

Some Examples of Compliance Forms are

SITE SAFETY RISK ASSESSMENT FORMS

CONFINED SPACES FORM

WORKING AT HEIGHTS FORM

PRE-START PLANT FORM

HAZARD RISK ASSESSMENT FORM

WORKSITE INDUCTION FORMS

POOL SAFETY COMPLIANCE

The benefits of forms are that they can also have

images attached. Calculations for Risk Scoring using

IF / THEN and other mathematical and logic

functions are available when creating an E-form.

With the introduction of lightweight, fast and

reliable Android Tablets and Phones. The

completion of forms can now be more accurate

(due to mandatory fields) and assessed quickly as they are uploaded to a centralised

server where they can be analysed. Asset Edge also has a library of forms already

created and offered by councils for use by others. For more information on forms call

the support desk on 1300 219 552.

Reflect - Hints and Tips

RMPC Reports - JMRA

It is that time of the year where TMR are requesting JMRA reporting

and data from councils to assist with future funding and other plan-

ning for the highways. We feel the best approach to managing this

process is to record the Works you would like to include as a part

of regular inspections . Then when JMRA time comes around you can

run the report from Reflect Reports - this approach has worked very

well in South West Region For more information call Doug Beal on

0499 055001

F1 for Reflect Windows Help

Just a reminder about these useful Shortcuts.

My favorites are F10, F11 and F12.

The best thing to do is give them all a try and see

if these little shortcuts might save a few minutes in your Reflect day or

just make things a little easier.

Reflect Training for Intermediate and Advanced Users

The Asset Edge office in Maroochydore is very well equipped for one on

one and small group training for those people wanting to take their

Reflect skills and knowledge to another level. Training is customised to

suit the specific needs of the individual and covers all the aspects of the

software from setup, configuration of data, reporting and other advanced

features. It is very well suited for councils expanding the use of Reflect

into new Asset Classes.
