You may not see it on the day of the release. **Scenario 1** A CSR books inspections and moves to the *Calls* area, which opens automatically so new items are visible. **Scenario 2** A project coordinator reaches estimates and job records from a menu that remembers how they left it. **Scenario 3** A dispatcher routing crews reads a cleaner collapsed pop-out menu when they keep the menu narrow. ### **Payables** ✦ New feature[**Control which bills need review with AP approval workflows ↗**](/release-hub/docs/control-which-bills-need-review-with-ap-approval-workflows) Accounts payable (AP) approval workflows are a new feature that let you route bills for review based on rules you set, so the right people sign off before a bill is exported or paid. **Scenario 1** Large material bills for a reroof route to the owner for approval before export. **Scenario 2** Bills from a specific supplier route to accounting when totals cross a set amount. **Scenario 3** Bills with a quantity discrepancy route for review so overbilling is caught before payment. ### **Measurements** ↗ Enhancement[**Import measurements you already have instead of re-ordering them ↗**](/release-hub/docs/import-measurements-you-already-have-instead-of-re-ordering-them) This improvement lets you bring in a roofing measurement report you already have, from GAF QuickMeasure, EagleView, Hover, or a file on your device, instead of placing a new order. **Scenario 1** A roofing office employee inherits a job where the homeowner already had an EagleView report ordered by a previous contractor. Instead of re-ordering, the office employee imports that report directly into the measurements table. **Scenario 2** A CSR is onboarding a new roofing account that already has a stack of GAF QuickMeasure reports from before the switch to ServiceTitan. The CSR imports each report so the estimate can be built without waiting on new orders. **Scenario 3** A production manager gets a PDF and JSON measurement file emailed from a supplier who ran the measurement outside ServiceTitan. The production manager uploads both files directly from their device into the job's measurements table. **Early Access** ### **Messages** ↗ Enhancement[**Choose which notifications you get and where with notification settings ↗**](/release-hub/docs/choose-which-notifications-you-get-and-where-with-notification-settings) A new notification settings screen lets each person control which activity types they are notified about and which delivery channels those notifications use. **Note:** *The Messages feature is currently in Private Preview with access only for select accounts.* **Scenario 1** A production manager who only needs @mentions turns off thread-reply notifications, so the message center stops filling with crew back-and-forth. **Scenario 2** An office coordinator keeps email notifications for @mentions but turns off email for general chats, so the inbox stays focused on items that need a reply. **Scenario 3** A dispatcher uses this feature in their daily workflow to improve efficiency and reduce manual steps.
