What’s new in Envee.
Envee is in active development with pilot firms, and improvements land most days. Here is what has changed recently, newest first.
-
Adjoining properties, from Figures into the report
- Send the adjoining property labels on a site plan straight into the report’s adjoining property tables, by direction, with an optional preview of what will change.
- Saved figures are now a compact card library with live map previews.
- Boundary styling controls and more compact map inspectors.
-
Interviews tied to property contacts
- Interview questions appear with each property contact, and interviews follow the contact’s role in the report, with role-specific interview dates.
- A draft signature control for the professional declaration.
- Database and lien search dates are shared with the references section.
-
Styled map labels
- General map labels, separate from adjoining labels and legend entries, with their own styling. New map text starts at 12 points.
-
Documents and appendices
- Better appendix uploads and ordering, and tidier document layouts.
- A more compact document preview with aligned file details.
- Saved figure templates show in the Library.
-
Field changes reach the report for review
- Saved and synced checklist changes now appear in the report writer for review, without regenerating the checklist. Compare the answers, then update the report facts.
- Reconnaissance tables fill from accepted checklist updates, with tank worksheets.
- Adjoining property narrative subsections, agency response options with discussion starters, and starter language for each executive finding.
-
Library formatting and faster previews
- Starter paragraphs keep their formatting and can be published from the Library directly.
- Report previews render in the background, without flicker when resizing or zooming.
- CD Analyzer shows a condensed source review with a preview of the file.
-
Custom observation symbols
- Choose an observation’s icon, color, size, map label, and legend label.
- A thickness control for the subject property boundary, and refined transformer and database symbols.
-
Figure exports and printing
- Word exports keep adjoining label colors, each export has its own download, and the current figure page can be printed.
-
Adjoining labels and parcel lines
- Resize adjoining labels directly on the map, down to narrow widths.
- Appearance controls for parcel boundary lines.
- A three-page figure set, with a location map, site plan, and topographic map, as a figure template.
- Delete a saved figure from its card.
-
Projects with more than one address
- A project can cover several addresses and parcels, including address ranges, entered step by step in the checklist.
- Aerial imagery records its acquisition date, with new aerial appearance controls.
-
Figures, rebuilt
- Automatic, editable property outlines from the project’s parcel number, for Florida parcels.
- Published USGS topographic sheets, joined automatically across sheet edges.
- Optional street names and road outlines on aerials, rotation handles on the map, and groundwater flow as an editable observation.
- Export straight to Word or PDF, with maps that prepare and refresh on their own.
-
CD Analyzer handles large directory reports
- Large PDFs process in batches with page checkpoints and pick up where they left off after a dropped connection.
- Better reading of vendor directory layouts, and uncertain exports now require review.
- Simpler, sorted address pickers.
-
Your firm’s own Library
- Firms author their own Library, with protected starter paragraphs.
- Table-aware starter text, and a language bank picker right inside draft fields.
- Language cards say when to use each one.
- The calendar highlights overdue days, and the dashboard shows reports in progress.
-
A cleaner report workspace
- Exclude an optional subsection from the report without deleting it, and include it again in one click.
- Simpler workspace headers, a photo log facts filter, and preview status in the top bar.
