September Release #1

We made the following updates to Maecos.

Linking issues together

It’s now possible to link issues to each other. Whether it’s a recurring equipment fault, multiple safety observations pointing to the same root cause, or several deviations tied to one production step—you can now connect these records and make their relationships visible.

This feature requires the new permission “Can link issues to other issues.”

Smarter ownership for checklists and documents

Previously, ownership of checklists and documents could only be set by naming individual users. With this update, you can define owners based on team, position, profile or profile group, or skills.

For example:

  • Assign the “Changeover checklist” to the line leader position rather than a specific person.

  • Ensure SOP updates always go to a quality engineer profile group, no matter who is currently in that role.

This makes ownership more resilient to role changes and helps ensure accountability stays with the right people.

Classroom training improvements

Assign trainers to specific sessions

When scheduling a classroom training, you can now configure the specific trainer for each date. This ensures participants know exactly who will be teaching and allows for clearer planning across multiple trainers.

Capture additional training details

You can also specify extra information for classroom sessions, such as materials required, room setup, or additional instructions for participants.


Other improvements and bugfixes

  • Best before dates from photos – Date recognition is now more reliable, even when multiple matches are found.

  • SuccessFactors sync – Future hires are now synced automatically, ensuring workforce data stays ahead of time.

  • Approval flow fix – Removing an approval flow from a course no longer deletes pending requests. Instead, requests are automatically approved.

  • Checklists in issues – When a checklist is started from within an issue, a link to the issue now appears in the checklist details.

  • Link between procedures and checklists - There were cases where the procedure details page did not correctly show all the linked checklists.
