About Jolt

Jolt 7.4.8 adds PDF text search in the Info Library and work order improvements for frontline managers.

Jolt is incrementally improving its core operations loops — lists, work orders, and labeling — with each release. Version 7.4.8 adds a meaningful feature for frontline managers: text search inside PDFs in the Info Library, letting workers look up procedures without scrolling through entire documents. Work order management gains visibility into closed and expired orders plus type-based filtering. The 7.0.3 React Native upgrade in March was the most substantial under-the-hood investment in recent history.
