We'll be covering:
- different ways you can create a re-inspection in Alpha Tracker
- how to send data immediately to a surveyor already on site
- how to mark data to be sent at a future time - so-called "pending" re-inspections
- how surveyors can manage their own re-inspections, saving you admin time
- how to (re)send re-inspection items to a handset at any time
- the Client Portal view of re-inspected data
- how the Alpha Tracker Mobile app works in conjunction with desktop Alpha Tracker
We'll be taking questions during the webinar, too, so ask anything you want!

10K for 10K! The Alpha Tracker team mark the 10,000th software update in Alpha Tracker with a 10K run
Alpha Tracker has reached a major milestone - the 10,000th software update!
Each time Jack and his team finalise an Alpha Tracker software change, they "commit" it to our software source control system. This process is carefully controlled and forms part of our ISO9001 Quality Control system. Each change is numbered and - incredibly - we have now reached the milestone of 10,000 updates committed.
The 10,000th update wasn't particularly memorable or special (it fixed a problem with drawings and certificates when reinspecting hazmat data!) but it is quite an achievement. By the way, Release 41.6 of Alpha Tracker is in final testing now with Release 42 well underway and on track for an autumn release.
To mark the occasion, some of the Alpha Tracker team committed to running the Shrewsbury 10K. Yesterday was the big day, with Dan leading the field (finishing in an impressive 44 minutes). The Shrewsbury 10K is particularly hilly and challenging, so it was brilliant to see all of the team finish so strongly.

From the Palace of Westminster to Mesothelioma UK's HQ - the portrait of Mavis & Ray Nye is on the move again
Our Alpha Tracker director Robin and UKNAR's Andrew Paten were on the road on Thursday moving the beautiful portrait painting of asbestos campaigners Mavis & Ray Nye.
The painting is now waiting in a safe London space waiting for the courier to collect and deliver to Meso UK to be proudly displayed and seen by many more asbestos campaigners and nurses.
For the last few months, it has been hanging in the Palace of Westminster, in Sir Stephen Timms' office. Sir Stephen has taken an active interest in asbestos policy in the UK since become the Chairman of the Work & Pension Committee in the previous government.

The next location is going to be Mesothelioma UK's Loughborough's HQ so we had to start the process of moving the picture from London to the Midlands.
Andrew & Robin boxed it up, took it out of Portcullis House, then headed off.
