HomeCenter 3.2.0
Custom categories
- Spending and equipment categories are now editable in Settings → Categories: add, rename, hide, reorder, and give each an icon and color.
- Spending categories can be limited to houses, vehicles and equipment, to people, or offered everywhere.
- Hiding a category removes it from the forms but keeps it on existing records. A custom category can only be deleted when no record uses it, and built-ins can be reset to their defaults.
- Existing records are untouched. The old built-in categories keep working under the same names.
- Icons now show on category fields in the service, visit, Intake and equipment forms, in equipment lists, and in the Costs chart legends and filter.
- The assistant, search, reports and maintenance reminders all understand custom categories. A custom equipment category gets the "Other" reminder suggestions.
New HomeCenter icon
- New app icon, drawn to match each theme. The sidebar and header logo, the browser tab icon and the installed-app icon all follow the selected theme.
- The Android install icon and splash color are set when you install the app, so reinstall it to pick up the new icon.
Attachments in the installed app
- On a phone or tablet running the installed app, attachments now open in an in-app viewer with a Back button and a Download button. Previously the file replaced the app, and Android's back button closed it.
- PDFs show every page, with a "Page 2 of 5" indicator, and links to a specific page scroll to it.
- Images show full screen. Other file types offer a download.
- PC browsers and phone browsers still open attachments in a new tab, as before.
Phone experience
- Bottom tab bar (Home, Assets, Maintenance, Records, More) replaces the hamburger menu. The More tab shows a dot when something is waiting in Intake or Notifications.
- Quick-add button: a floating "+" for scanning a receipt or adding a service record. It slides out of the way while you scroll down.
- Back button in the header on property, vehicle, equipment and person pages. The name now leads the page, followed by a compact two-column facts grid.
- Lists as cards instead of tables on Records, Maintenance, Warranties, service records, and the health and provider tables. Maintenance cards have a one-tap Complete.
- Forms open as bottom sheets with a Save bar that stays on screen. Two-column forms stack into one column.
- Smaller text-input sizes so iOS doesn't zoom in. Number fields show a numeric keypad.
- Pull-to-refresh in the installed app.
- Costs filters are one swipeable row each.
- Photo buttons on asset pages are always visible and no longer cover the picture.
- Screen edges: the app uses the full screen on notched phones and pads for the notch and home bar. The browser toolbar color follows the theme, and the keyboard resizes the page.
- The assistant opens as the full Assistant page on phones. The desktop side panel is unchanged.
- Login screen shows the new icon on phones.
- The desktop layout is unchanged.
Dashboard on phones
- Properties, Vehicles, Equipment and People cards show the photo mosaic with the type strip at the bottom, like on desktop, instead of tiny avatars.
- Cards are denser: shorter rows and tighter spacing.
- Empty rows between cards are closed, so there are no large gaps. Your saved layout is not changed.
- The desktop dashboard is unchanged.
Fixes
- The Category field in the service and Intake forms showed "none" instead of "Uncategorized".
