Map It Out: Accurate, Interactive Spatial Data in RegWorks

Maps are now fully integrated into RegWorks records, allowing Field Officers, Planners, and Assessors to visualise and work with geospatial data in real time. With these capabilities, RegWorks users can interact with spatial data more effectively. Draw multiple points, lines, and polygons directly on a map, with precise measurements for length, perimeter, and area automatically calculated.

What’s the impact?

From incident reporting to development planning, interactive maps enable faster and more informed decision-making. 

A member of the public can pinpoint an exact location when submitting an incident report. Regulated entities can sketch the dimensions of a proposed project site. Inspectors can reference areas that need onsite checks. Meanwhile, reviewers can overlay maps with critical information to assess proximity to protected zones or sensitive environmental features.

Put it into practice by assessing againts points of interest, for example, seeing where environmentally sensitive areas are compared to clean drinking water using the layers feature. Or logically planning out field activities based on location using the bulk actions.

• More accurate locations – Directly draw or drop a pin on a map to record precise location information.
• Interact with maps more effectively – By accurately drawing multiple points, lines, and shapes with exact length and area measurements.
• Tell the full story – Provide more data and key information for each point or shape drawn on the map to add extra context.

Whether you're evaluating compliance or planning site visits, RegWorks mapping simplifies location-based tasks with clarity and control.

Next Generation Dashboards 

New Functionality to Support Trend Analysis

Spotting trends and gleaning insights has never been easier. Whether you need to consider information over a certain time period, or gather your reporting without having to export, RegWorks is here to support you through it. 

Tailor the display of data on new and existing dashboards for more insightful analysis and make it work for you, not the other way around. Line charts, horizontal and vertical bar charts and stacked bar charts are available, and you can play around with different time intervals to test the difference in insights it might show. 

Personalised Dashboards for Every Role

Your dashboard should reflect the way you work. Flexible layouts unlock deeper dashboard insights. A Team Leader might prioritise visual performance metrics, while an Inspector may want recent site submissions front and centre. Whatever the role, the dashboard can match the workflow. 

With new layout management features, RegWorks can drag, resize, and reorder dashboard widgets just how you like it. Resize a widget horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Move it to a new location, and other widgets will automatically adjust to fit the layout.

Take Control of Dashboard Organisation

RegWorks gives you the tools to stay organised, work smarter and faster. Maybe you need to create dashboards based on regulatory functions? Or group dashboards for teams? Or prioritise the ones you use most often?  All this is possible as well as quickly accessing frequently used dashboards, setting favourites, and creating custom dashboard groups with enhanced dashboard management tools. 

Set a primary dashboard for daily use. Choose what to show or what to hide on your dashboard, tailor your experience around how you prefer to work.  

Faster Dashboard Navigation with Filters

As dashboards grow, so does the need for smart filtering. Instantly surface the dashboard you need and make decisions faster. When navigation is intuitive, productivity is enhanced – RegWorks is designed to get you the information you need without delay. 

With filters in place, navigating becomes instant. No more scrolling through long lists to find what you need. 

What’s the impact?

• Smarter data visibility – Shape your dashboard to spotlight the metrics that matter most with flexible, intuitive widget resizing.
• Designed to your preferences – Tailor the layout and data presentation to align with your priorities and reflect the information you care about most.
• Increase productivity – Quickly and intuitively filter dashboards, approve multiple applications, assign tasks, or manage inspections and operations.
• Faster decision-making – Streamlined and immediate access to primary and favourited dashboards for quick decisions.
• Improve oversight and efficiency – Reduce manual effort and increase accuracy when managing large sets of records.

RegWorks dashboards are more than just a snapshot, they’re now command centres. Whether you’re approving applications, assigning tasks, or managing inspections, these enhancements keep your workflow moving forward without interruption.

In-App Scripting: Automate Complex Logic Without Developers

Perform complex calculations, script in the UI, automate business logic and streamline workflows all from the RegWorks user interface. An inbuilt testing framework allows for quick debugging and validation before scripts are published – and without the need for a developer.

What’s the impact?

• Automate in-house – Streamline your users' journey by scripting in the UI to automate and represent business processes.
• Quality code – The inbuilt testing framework ensures code reliability.

But what’s it used for? You can use in-app scripts to calculate fees, or validate product content against compliance rules without the cost or delays of engaging a developer.

Collaborate on Documents in Real-Time

With integrated Microsoft 365 co-authoring, RegWorks users can simplify editing Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files directly from within the platform. Collaborate with live edits, comments, and versioning which ensures every change is captured.

What’s the impact?

• Simplified editing – Seamless editing of uploaded documents directly from RegWorks.
• Easily keep track – Stay across required changes using comments in Microsoft 365.
• Faster collaboration – Real-time collaborative co-authoring of documents.
• Less clicks, no downloads – Efficiently edit without downloading or manually sharing files.

Whether you're preparing ministerial briefs, reviewing investigation reports, or gathering feedback, collaborative editing cuts down the lag time between versions. Everyone involved can work from the same source document, with full transparency on who changed what, and when.
