ANALYTICS

Field-data captures grow a BI layer while mobile coasts on fixes.

Current state
Fulcrum continues steady weekly shipping across web, iOS, and Android, but the substance is concentrated on the web. Recent releases add a freehand lasso selection on maps, a Power BI connector, and time-aware Insights (Beta) queries. Mobile cadence is dominated by single-issue stability fixes rather than new capabilities.
Where it's heading
The product is widening from pure field-data capture into the analyze-and-share layer above it. Web work is going into bulk-action ergonomics, BI tooling integration, and growing the Insights surface. Mobile platforms are tracking a maintenance pattern, with versioned releases shipping one or two narrow fixes at a time and no new user-facing capabilities.
Prediction
Expect Insights to gain depth toward general availability, with more BI-side integrations and richer bulk operations on web selections. Mobile is unlikely to see significant new capabilities in the next cycle.

    New! Lasso Tool - Select Records on the Map

    A freehand selection on the map replaces tap-by-tap record picking, with the selected set immediately routable into bulk edit, export, report, or delete. It fits Fulcrum's recent pattern of investing in web-side ergonomics for working with collected data, not just capturing it.

    Web bug-fix roundup, plus heads-up on INFERENCE event library swap

    A standard weekly bug-fix roundup covering API error codes, WMS authentication, visibility rules, and a few app-builder edge cases. The note about a pending INFERENCE data event library swap is worth tracking for any workflow that depends on that event.

    iOS Release - 2605.0.0

    Single fix for a membership-fetch error after device idle. Continues the mobile-app pattern of small, single-issue releases.

  4. 7d ago

    Android Release - 2605.0.0

    Two narrow fixes: a map-view ANR and a SETFORMATTRIBUTES draft-saving edge case. In line with the maintenance posture mobile has held this cycle.

    iOS Release - 2604.4.1

    A one-line fix for Audio FastFill failing on some devices. Pure stability touch-up between feature-bearing web releases.

    Web Release Notes (Apr 30 - May 6, 2026)

    Mostly saved-filter and basemap fixes, but the entry doubles as the first public mention of the Power BI connector, a real integration that broadens who can consume Fulcrum data without going through the API directly. Fits the analytics-layer trajectory.
