We are pleased to introduce ACP Server version 8.2.10, a significant release delivering three major new capabilities alongside important stability and security improvements. This update introduces the Smart Notes Usage Report for comprehensive recording consumption insights, Geofencing Administration and Rules Engine for location-based attendance verification, and the AI Visit Note Summary – Visit Notes Retrieval API, which powers AI-generated visit summaries on the mobile app.
This release also includes performance improvements, security enhancements, and resolutions for multiple customer-reported issues across Forms, Activities, Visits, Automation Rules, and platform stability.
New Features
Smart Notes Usage Report -- Administrators can now access a comprehensive usage report showing Smart Notes recording consumption by branch and form. The report supports filtering by date range and branch, includes columns for branch name, form name, total recordings, total minutes used, and average duration, and can be exported to Excel. Role-based access controls ensure users only see data relevant to their assigned branches.
Geofencing Administration & Rules Engine -- Tenant Administrators can now define and enforce location-based attendance rules that prevent caregivers from clocking in or out when outside the defined geographical boundary of a client location. Administrators can configure geofence boundaries with a customisable radius, visualise boundaries on a map, and review a full history of geofence rule changes for audit purposes.

AI Visit Note Summary – Visit Notes Retrieval API -- This release includes the server-side foundation for the AI Visit Note Summary feature. The Visit Notes Retrieval API enables the secure retrieval of recent visit notes to power AI-generated summaries on the mobile app, helping carers quickly understand care history before starting their shift.

Improvements
Audit Trail for Summary Events -- Summary event changes are now recorded in the audit trail, providing a complete history of updates for compliance and oversight purposes.
Email Requirement for Service Users -- The email address field is no longer mandatory when creating or editing a service user, reducing friction for records where an email address is not available.
Visit Variance Trigger Preferences -- Administrators can now configure which events trigger visit variance calculations, providing more granular control over variance monitoring.
Database Performance -- Removed duplicate indexes and added composite indexes to improve query performance across key areas of the platform.
Redis Connection Resilience -- Added health checks for Redis connections to improve platform stability and reduce the impact of transient connection issues.
Deployment Pipeline Reliability -- Added a Liquibase rollback step to the deployment pipeline to improve reliability and recoverability during database migrations.
