​
Export a record of your team’s AI activity

You can now pull everything your team has done with AI in Forerunner as a CSV, from Settings → Data → Forerunner AI. Only manager-level users can run the export.
  • One row per message, with conversation, timestamp, feature, user, and related record
  • Every AI surface: chat on web and mobile, Live Mode, document generation, form fields, Elevation Certificate extraction, automation prompts, and share messages
  • Attachments come through as download links
  • Sensitive content is redacted unless the exporter has PII permission
See Exporting AI activity.

​
Run automations on a recurring schedule

You can now schedule an automation to run on its own cadence, so recurring work like a biweekly stormwater inspection runs without anyone starting it.
  • Daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, or a custom interval
  • A start date, a time zone that defaults to yours, and an optional end date
  • Property warnings available in condition and variable pickers, so an automation can branch on where a property sits in its lifecycle
See Building automations.

​
Carry a value across every step of a workflow

Information entered once at the start of a workflow now carries into every later step that needs it, instead of being re-keyed on each one.
  • Set a field’s default to a field on a record type earlier in the same workflow, alongside property, parcel, FIRM, and user defaults
  • Lock a prefilled field so it changes only at its source step, or leave it overridable so staff can correct it downstream
  • Get a prompt when a change would break a configured default, with options to resolve before saving
  • Values are set when the downstream record is created and do not change afterward
  • Newly-granted collaborators are emailed when you duplicate a workflow step
See Configuring workflows.

​
Set a dynamic default on a date field

Date fields can now default to a value pulled from elsewhere, instead of only defaulting to today.
  • Today’s date
  • A FIRM effective date
  • A date attribute on the parcel
  • The property’s external system ID
See Customizing records.

​
Turn off public Elevation Certificate submissions

You can now stop accepting Elevation Certificate submissions from your public website yourself, and the confirmation names the record types it affects.See Accepting submissions.
  • Maps Faster first load, and less throttling when many layers load at once
  • Maps Keyboard support for the Measure tool and the Location picker
  • Mobile App The map object panel shows all assigned users instead of only one
  • Mobile App Faster interactions across the app
  • Administration In Settings, Records is now Record types and Map objects is now Object types, and existing links redirect
  • Administration Clicking a record type row opens its builder directly
  • Administration Delete a data source from the UI
  • Administration Integrations show Connect or Configure depending on whether they are set up
  • Objects Re-importing parcels matches existing properties on geometry and parcel number rather than the source’s own ID, so a refresh that renumbers parcels no longer breaks the links and history attached to a property
  • Records The address lookup returns on forms that carry an optional Elevation Certificate upload
  • Records Trailing spaces are trimmed from dropdown, tag, and number-with-units options as you author them
  • Records Market value and damage cost rows stand out on the substantial damage summary, with cost rows labeled RCV and ACV
  • Files Forms that include an AI field state their real upload limit, and the rejection message names the limit you hit
  • Files Re-saving a record no longer creates duplicate documents
  • Files Remove deletes the file you picked
  • Files The file cap is enforced when you drop files, not only when you browse
  • Files Publishing a record with a sensitive attachment no longer errors
  • Files The “not linked to a property” banner no longer shows on files that are linked
  • Dashboards Changing a widget’s record type no longer clears the title and chart type you already set
  • Dashboards Group-by and chart options survive switching chart type
  • Dashboards Configuration dropdowns open upward when there is no room below, instead of compressing
  • Automations A warning step no longer stops the automation when the warning was already set or cleared by hand, so a status ladder runs end to end
  • Automations An If block saves with one branch left empty
  • Automations Blocks that cannot run in the current context no longer appear in the step palette
  • Mobile App The blue location marker no longer lands on the wrong property when you tap the map
  • Mobile App Files generated on a record from mobile attach back to the record
  • Public Website Guests no longer see a Generate with AI button that ejected them from the form and lost what they had entered
  • Administration The left side navigation scrolls when the record type list is expanded, instead of putting Settings out of reach
​
Objects

​
Edit custom objects on the map

You can now edit custom objects you created manually, right from the map, on web and mobile.
  • Update an object’s label
  • Reshape an object’s geometry by dragging or removing points
  • Edit from the object information panel; the map zooms to fit the object in edit mode
Editing applies to custom objects created manually. Objects brought in through a GIS import are still updated by re-importing the source data. See Editing a custom object.
