  • New table and map views for field reports utilizing CAIC's new data API.
    • Additional filter options for users.
    • Updated map view design and improved speed.

  • New detailed view of field report observations.
    • Improved readability and accessibility across devices.
    • Includes map of observation.

UX improvements:
