What's new in vx Observe 2023

Check out all the new features and bug fixes included in previous vx Observe 2023 releases.

Accruent vx Observe 2023.12 Release Notes

We're delivering this automatic upgrade on December 4, 2023, with these highlights:

ServiceChannel: See identical asset info in Accruent Observe and ServiceChannel, optimizing the integration between our IOT and asset management solutions
Executive Dashboard: Quickly gain important insights on your energy usage by viewing the best and worst energy cost months per area
Site hours: Define occupancy and operational hours on a single page, making it easier to manage these calendars for your sites

Asset info syncing between Accruent Observe and ServiceChannel

VXOB-6031, 7605, 7606

Asset information now syncs seamlessly between Accruent Observe and ServiceChannel. Assets associated with an Observe sensor alarm now attach to work orders created automatically in ServiceChannel to address the alarm, and operational status data from Observe carries over to ServiceChannel. Going the other way, asset creation and asset updates in ServiceChannel are automatically reflected in Observe.

See best and worst energy usage months at a glance

VXOB-7207, 7830

We added a new display to Building Cost per Area on the Executive Dashboard, showing you the best and worst months in terms of energy costs. This update is in addition to the brand new look and feel we've given the Executive Dashboard as a whole.

Define all site hours on a single page

VXOB-7512, 7838, 7839, 7840, 7913

You can now define and manage operational hours and occupancy hours on the same page, creating a simpler workflow and a cleaner user experience. We integrated the now-archived Occupancy Hours page into the Hours of Operation page so you can access either calendar from a simple menu. This update cleans up how you define occupancy/operational hours throughout the application.

Improvements and issues fixed

Smart Tables	We updated the following pages to the new smart table: Utility Companies Utility Companies Detail Utility Organizations Detail Baselines Utilities > Bill Summary
Telemetry Criteria	We added the And if exists in time frame operand for telemetry criteria steps. This operand keeps a change-of-value flagged condition rule from triggering if the value change did not occur within the evaluation time frame. Previously, because the system views the latest value change as always present, the And exists operand did not function as intended for change-of-value rules.
WebServices	We updated the sample response XML and the Swagger UI format to properly reflect the correct syntax for the sendFlaggedConditionData response.

vx Observe 23.01 Release Notes - January 16, 2023
