MeshWorks v1.0.9 - The Productivity Suite

Introducing MeshWorks v1.0.9 -- The Productivity Suite

We have been working hard behind the scenes, and today we are excited to unveil a major collection of new features that take MeshWorks to the next level. Version 1.0.9 is all about productivity, visibility, and giving you the tools to run your manufacturing operations seamlessly.

Project Hub -- Your Project Command Center

The all-new Project Hub is the central nervous system of every project in MeshWorks. No more switching between tabs or losing track of information.

What is included:
- Overview with real-time parts progress, milestone completion, BOM cost, and open issues at a glance
- Documents management with upload, categorization, and version tracking
- Timeline with Gantt-style milestone visualization across week, month, quarter, and full project views
- Activity feed that logs every action -- comments, uploads, status changes -- with full traceability
- Gallery for project photos and visual documentation
- Quality tracking and inspection management
- Workbench for issue tracking with pending, blocking, and urgent status cards
- Requirements tracking to ensure nothing falls through the cracks

Each project gets its own dedicated hub where your entire team can collaborate, track progress, and stay aligned.

Customer Portal -- Transparency That Builds Trust

Your customers deserve visibility into their projects. The Customer Portal provides secure, PIN-protected access so your clients can:

- View project progress and milestone timelines
- Browse shared documents and gallery photos
- Leave comments and upload files directly
- Track delivery status without needing to call or email

Generate shareable access links directly from the Project Hub and let your customers see exactly where their order stands.

Time Clock -- Complete Workforce Management

The new Time Clock module is a full-featured workforce management system designed for manufacturing environments:

- Clock In/Out with activity type selection (3D Design, 2D Design, Assembly, etc.)
- Project Assignment to track time against specific projects
- Break Management with categorized breaks (Coffee, Lunch, Meeting, Personal)
- Daily Timeline visualizing work and break periods across the day
- Weekly Overview with streaks, totals, and averages
- Team Presence showing who is online, on break, or offline
- Manager Dashboard with team-wide analytics
- Time Adjustments for corrections and approvals
- Hour Exchange enabling colleagues to transfer hours between each other
- Project Cost Analysis breaking down labor costs by project, team member, and activity

Whether you are on the shop floor or in the office, the Time Clock gives you full control over time tracking and cost visibility.

Parts Catalog -- Your Reusable Components Library

The Parts Catalog lets you build a comprehensive library of standard parts that can be referenced across projects:

- Organize parts into custom categories
- Store descriptions, unit costs, and supplier information
- Quick search and filter to find parts instantly
- Track pricing history and manage preferred suppliers

Stop re-entering the same part data across projects. Build your catalog once and reuse it everywhere.

MeshTips -- Smart Contextual Guidance

MeshTips is a new contextual help system that provides guidance exactly where and when you need it:

- Smart onboarding tips for new users discovering features
- Context-aware hints that appear based on what you are doing
- Fully dismissible -- experienced users can turn them off from their profile
- Non-intrusive design that complements rather than interrupts your workflow

Renewed Dark Mode

We have completely refreshed the dark mode experience across every view:

- Improved contrast ratios for better readability
- Warm orange/amber selection highlights replacing the previous blue tones
- Better visual hierarchy in data-heavy views like BOM tables and dashboards
- Consistent dark styling across all new and existing features

We are already working on the next set of improvements. Stay tuned for more updates and do not hesitate to reach out through our live chat if you have feedback or feature requests.
