Improved

Text prefixes, HEIC file uploads, and other changes

A few things have been improved on Stanza since our last update:

Prefixes for text fields

Report creators can now add prefixed text to strings and text areas. This should help remind the report filer of the context behind the field. You can add prefixes with text from the report, or additional notes or information related to how the field is used.

Thanks to the MEP team for requesting this feature!

Partial support for HEIC files

HEIC files will not crash the application anymore. :D

There are still Windows file limitations that prevent us from being able to fully support HEIC files natively in Stanza. You can't crop, mark up, or edit HEIC files with the Stanza editor in your browser. But they will now be included in your reports without causing an error.

If you still have issues with HEIC files, please let the Software + Innovation team know by submitting feedback from Stanza or via email. You can also try converting the HEIC files to JPG or PNG; the IT team has a recommended conversion software that they use.

A few smaller improvements

  • The homepage card view now has a settings button for report creators to edit or delete their reports. This mirrors the settings button on the list view for the homepage.

  • The parapet report module has improved functionality for "None" and "Other" selection options. Coming soon to the rest of Stanza!
