We're about to release a whole bunch of functionality that will supercharge the usefulness of the National Forward Works Viewer.  Read on to find out more!

Currently available new functionality

• Single Sign On

Anchor subscribers are now able to take advantage of Single Sign On. This means that users won't need to apply for an account and have a separate log-in. Instead, the FWV will be linked to your Active Directory, so you are in control of who from your organisation has access to the FWV. It also has the added benefit of when a staff member leaves, their FWV account is automatically deactivated. 

We will be rolling SSO out to all anchor subscribers over the next 6 months, but if you'd like to expedite this, please contact us. 

• Saved Searches

Got a search that you run often? Now you can save your search parameters so you can apply the search again and again at the click of a button!  Saved searches will also form the basis of the soon-to-be-released watchlists, see more on that below. 
To save your search, click 'save' in the search panel and enter a name. Your search will be saved in the top dropdown box in the search panel, and can be amended or deleted at any time. 

Currently in testing phase and coming soon...

• Search by custom boundary

You'll soon be able to search an area of interest from the search panel by drawing a boundary on the map. Drawing tools will enable you to draw an area of the  map you're interested in, and add additional search filters such projects belonging to a specific organisation, or a certain infrastructure type.   This functionality is especially useful if you're wanting to be kept updated on any project activity happening within a specific area - for example you might be running your own project site, so you draw a boundary around your project site, save the search as a watchlist, and choose to be notified of any changes on your watchlist - you'll always be kept updated of any new project activity within the boundary you have drawn. 

• Turn your saved search into a dynamic watchlist

If you create a saved search, you'll be able to turn it into a watchlist which will sit in your dashboard. This means that when any project matching your search criteria is added to the Forward Works Viewer, it'll automatically be added into your watchlist.  This is especially useful when you also have your notifications enabled - you won't miss a beat!​

• Bookmark projects of interest

You'll be able to bookmark a project of interest, which'll add it to your dashboard for future reference. ​

• Notifications

Choose to receive notifications on a weekly basis straight into your inbox - detailing how many watchlists you have, what new projects have been added into your watchlists, and what the new clashes and opportunities are ​with your bookmarked and watchlisted projects. 

• CAR data from MyWorksites available in the Forward Works Viewer

We've been working with MadeCurious (creators of MyWorksites) to make their CAR data available as an interrogable layer ​within the Forward Works Viewer. The roadworks data will fall under the Events category layer and can be switched on and off and searched for.
