2026.17 Release Notes

Release Highlights

  • You can now track expiration dates for nuclear gauge calibrations and leak tests, so your gauge records stay audit-ready.

  • We resolved a wave of dashboard and page-load slowdowns across Lab workflows, so search, filters, and reports that were timing out are now fast and reliable.

Lab & Sample Workflow

Modify your curves

Updated

MetaField charts now can be adjusted by add shaping points throughout the curve as well as allowing you to make free form adjustments.

To add this feature to forms you are using today, reach out to your Customer Success Manager who can help get this exciting new feature added to your existing forms.

Corrected sample and specimen data sync issues

Bug Fix

We fixed several issues where sample and specimen data could get out of sync:

  • Specimens no longer duplicate or disappear in table views.
  • Last Modified User now updates correctly after check-in.
  • Batch untest now preserves saved Set Numbers.
  • Deleting one specimen from a two-specimen sample no longer deletes both specimens.

Draft work orders and samples behave correctly

Bug Fix

Draft work orders no longer show up on your team's schedule tile before they're been submitted to the through the scheduling module.

Additionally an error that would sometimes appear when trying to delete draft samples tied to a work order has been corrected.

Review (QC) module fixes

Bug Fix

We fixed several Review issues:

  • Specimens for checked-in samples now appear reliably.
  • The sample reorder dialog now follows your configured report order.
  • Validation warning icons now display correctly in search results.
  • Grid sorting now works correctly when filters are applied.
  • The Sampling Tests view now respects your configured columns.

Dashboard and page-load performance

Bug Fix

We improved performance and reliability across several areas:

  • The Discrepancy Log, Activity Open Discrepancies, Cast Cylinder search, Compressive Strength widget, and Lab Testing tile now load more reliably.
  • We also fixed an intermittent "Not Authorized" error affecting some Admin users.

Reports & Templates

More control over report layout

Added

You can now place and style a Page Number element anywhere on a report, or turn page numbering off entirely to free up space for a custom footer.

Flexible chart output on reports

Added

Linked charts on report templates can now display records in a single combined chart or as individual charts, with labeled series for clearer project-level summaries. They also honor the reference lines configured on the source form.

SVG symbols for Drilling Methods

Updated

You can now upload SVG files as Drilling Method symbols, in addition to standard image formats.

Boring log and graph rendering fixes

Bug Fix

We improved the appearance of boring log reports by sharpening graph columns when zooming into PDFs, smoothing Particle Size Analysis graph lines, and reducing excess spacing between the header row and classification column.

Signature and attachment fixes

Bug Fix

We improved PDF and digital signature reliability by preventing field signatures from clearing data in attached fillable PDFs and keeping long user titles from overlapping the footer bar.

Report generation errors now identify problematic attachments, and Batch Report now handles unsupported PDF uploads more gracefully.

Missing report data

Bug Fix

Fixed an issue where reports using a picklist field — including Vacuum Test Summary and Inventory Checklist — could show missing data.

Billing & Invoicing

Invoice PO field auto-fills from your project

Added

The PO (Optional) field on an invoice now defaults from the project's Client Project Number, so you don't have to re-enter a value that's already on file.

Nuclear Gauge Management

Track calibration and leak test expiration dates

Added

You can now record and track expiration dates for leak tests and calibrations on nuclear gauge records, with both dates included in the Nuclear Gauge Data Extract.

Validation also prevents an expiration date from being set earlier than its corresponding test or calibration date.

Coming soon: Lab manager notifications will include these expiration dates.

Data Export & Integrations

Better visibility into integration syncs

Added

Support can now view detailed per-call request and response logs for Ajera and VantagePoint integrations, matching what's already available for Unanet.

Ajera and VantagePoint will also send an error notification email when a sync run hits per-record failures, and integration tasks can be scheduled to run at a fixed time each day instead of only at a repeating interval.

If you would like to learn more about MetaField’s in-house integrations to financial systems such as VantagePoint, Ajera, Dynamics, QuickBooks, Unanet or BST reach out to your Customer Success Manager.

Project Administration

Project Settings redesign

Updated

The Project Settings tab now features a streamlined accordion layout, and you can upload files directly to project-specific data sources instead of entering them manually.

Client search and field mapping fixes

Bug Fix

Fixed an issue where searching for "All" clients (active and inactive) returned an error.

Form Records

Auto-deleting work order relationships

Updated

Form records that are deleted will look for related work orders and automatically delete those first as part of the form record deletion process. Users no longer need to break that relationship prior to deleting a form record.

Field Mobile App - coming soon!

A new field experience is on the way

Releasing in 2026, the MetaField Mobile App brings a modern experience built for the realities of fieldwork, from dead zones and dust to gloved hands, so teams can collect and manage data on the go, wherever the job takes them.

Powerful tools like AI-powered voice-to-text and full offline capture help crews work faster and smarter from anywhere. An intuitive, easy-to-use interface with customizable views keeps navigation simple from the first task to the final report.

Schedules, project details, forms, and past work history all live in one view, giving teams everything they need before they even step on site, keeping field operations connected to the rest of your MetaField workflow for accuracy and efficiency from field to lab to report.

Whether you need standalone boring log software or want to connect boring logs with the rest of your operations, MetaField fits the way your firm works.

Manage the entire workflow from scheduling drillers and capturing field data to lab testing, reporting, client delivery, and billing, all in one connected system.

Lab results flow directly into your boring logs, reducing data re-entry and making it easier to move work from the field to the lab to the final report.
