Release notes

What's new in each Soarvo Portal release.

👤 Roles — Can access: All roles · Can edit settings: Admin

Overview

Release notes for the Soarvo Portal (the web platform at app.soarvo.com). New releases are listed at the top.

ℹ️ Release cadence: The portal is updated on a rolling schedule, separate from the Soarvo Mobile app. Routine updates ship during a low-impact maintenance window; critical updates are expedited as needed. For Mobile release notes, see Release Notes — Soarvo Mobile.

Portal v1.80 — 9 March 2026

New user roles

  • Project Supervisor — must be assigned to specific projects and locations. Can upload, manage, and delete data within their assigned scope.
  • Mobile-Only — captures data in the Soarvo Mobile app but has no access to the web portal.

New Background Map Manager

  • Background Maps in the Layers panel now offers a richer selector with more default options.
  • Multiple map layers can be displayed simultaneously via Additional Layers, each with adjustable transparency.
  • WMS layers can be added by uploading a configuration file. See WMS Libraries for ready-made bundles.

Advanced feature labelling

  • Labels can now combine values from multiple attributes. Use {FieldName} placeholders.
  • Single-line label example: {Material} {Diameter}
  • Multi-line label example: {Material}\n{Diameter}

National Highways grid projection support

Custom National Highways co-ordinate projections (EPSG codes 112000 – 112101) are now selectable when setting up a project.

Reference Location support

Mark a location as Reference (Project Wide Availability tick in Location Settings) to share its data across multiple locations without re-uploading. See Reference Locations.

New import formats

Soarvo Portal now supports .DXF and .KML for import. See Supported File Formats.

How to Find Out About New Portal Releases

  • This page — published release notes for every shipped version.
  • In-portal banner — major releases may include a sign-in banner highlighting key changes.
  • Customer Success — your account contact will reach out about releases that affect your workflow or require action.
✅ Routine vs critical updates: Routine updates are included in your subscription at no additional cost. Critical security updates are deployed as soon as testing completes — typically within 24-72 hours of a vulnerability being identified. See Security for our patching policy.

Overview

Mobile 0.0.216 — Production

New features

  • Irish coordinate support: Belfast and Malin OSGM15 variants.
  • Access-group filtering for feature types — control visibility by user group.
  • Child feature type support; all 9 geometry combinations now work with _COPY_PARENT_GEOM.

  • User position tracking on a ~5-minute schedule.
  • Insert a node into the middle of a line or area segment when editing.
  • Custom photo watermark configuration.

Attribute & expression enhancements

  • !STARTENDBRG — bearing between a line's first and last node.

  • !AUTOINC now supports prefixed values (NH-1 → NH-2).
  • !CALC can nest default codes (e.g. !CALC isResolved == true ? '!TS' : '').
