2nd May 2026 -----> The bulk editor has been rebuilt to replace all of that with one unified editor. Switch between modules without losing your log selection or your place.

One editor for all modules: Clicking Bulk Edit from anywhere now opens a single editor with a tab for every module — Samples, Drilling, Water Observations, Insitu Tests, and more.
Log selection that sticks: Filter down to specific logs (e.g. BH1 and BH3), save your selection, and it carries across every tab. No re-selecting when you switch between modules.
Add and edit data across logs: Add new rows directly in the editor. Pick the log, fill in your data, and save. Sorting by log name is also supported. The legacy Add New button remains available too.
PDF preview while editing: Hit the Preview button to view the log report PDF without leaving the editor. Select which log you want to check, then hit back to return straight to where you were.

13th April 2026 -----> Okta SSO support — A new Okta sign-in option is now available on the login screen. Enter your email and you'll be routed to your organization's Okta identity provider automatically. Seamless login when already authenticated — If you're already signed into Okta, TabLogs will log you in instantly with no additional steps required. Cleaner SSO administration — SSO settings have been reorganized into a provider list view, making it easier for administrators to manage and configure identity providers.

25th March 2026 -----> You can now assign lab tests directly from the individual sample creation form while logging in the field. As you create each sample, you can select and assign the required lab tests in the same action, keeping your field-to-lab workflow connected and reducing the risk of assignments being missed or completed out of sequence.

18th March 2026 -----> TabLogs now connects directly with Viktor AI via OAuth 2.0. Viktor AI users can read their TabLogs projects and logs from within Viktor with no manual data transfer required.

11th March 2026 -----> The import tool has been substantially rebuilt. Whether you are bringing in large files, mapping complex column structures, or running exports in the background, this release makes the whole process faster and more resilient.

Calculation and formula mapping: If a field is missing from your source data but can be derived from two other columns, you can now define the formula directly in the mapping step. TabLogs computes the value for every row on import, with unit conversion handled automatically. For example, if From Depth is missing but you have Depth To and Run Length, you can set From Depth = Depth To minus Run Length without touching the source file.
Inline editing: Review and correct data before it is imported, without leaving the import flow.
Upload and leave: Background upload means you can navigate away once a file is submitted. TabLogs handles the rest.
Retry on failure: Failed imports can now be retried without redoing your column mapping from scratch.
Large file support: Improved handling for high-volume imports and uploads.
Background export with status bar: Export progress runs in the background with a live status indicator so the UI stays fully responsive.
Mapping export: Save and export your current column mapping configuration for reuse.
Worksheet customisation: Add custom columns and sheets directly in the worksheet before export.
Primary export format: XLSX is now the default export format.

4th March 2026 -----> Fence diagrams now support the full log report builder, giving you the same level of control over cross-section presentation that you already have in your log reports!

The stick selector in Fences is now a dropdown, letting you choose between basic or templated sticks.
From Manage Templates, you can create, edit, and copy templates. Copying is particularly useful since many sticks will be near-identical with minor variations.
An Add from Library button lets you pull in a pre-built master template, giving you a ready-made starting point to quickly toggle columns on and off.
New per-column display toggles let you hide column titles, remove boundaries, and fine-tune the visual. My recommendation is to keep boundaries on for classification codes only to ensure a cleaner look.
Text positioning for classification components is now fully controllable, including the ability to display text in the centre.

27th February 2026 -----> This new feature automatically tracks changes made across project data, system configurations, and report templates in TabLogs.

Audit Trail provides a clear history of edits across your projects, helping teams maintain data integrity, support QA processes, and meet compliance requirements.
Once enabled at the company level, the feature runs automatically with no setup required.

13th February 2026 -----> This is a new feature designed to strengthen quality assurance across your ground investigation data.

It automatically compares your visual/tactile field descriptions with the correct lab description as determined from your Partical Size Distribution and Atterberg Limits testing.
In the process, we’ll also update all your database fields for Primary, Secondary and Minor constituents, grading, plasticity moisture and more!
The result? Effortless reconciliation with your ASTM/AASHTO/AS/NZ Lab results across your projects.

17th January 2026 -----> You can now create PSD and Casagrande Atterberg Limits charts directly in TabLogs using the new Report Builder Tool.

Report Builder Tool Previously known as Drawing Tools. Now redesigned with a Create Chart button and a library of ready to use templates.
PSD Charts (ASTM and Australian Standards) Select your data source → choose test type → fetch lab data.
Smart Map auto fills sample IDs, log IDs and key columns.
Casagrande Atterberg Limits Chart Fetch your Atterberg Limits data and TabLogs auto populates required fields.
Smarter Controls Toggle legend items, hide unwanted details and clean up chart views quickly.
PNG Exporting Export the chart, the legend or both as high quality PNGs.
Save and Manage Charts All charts are saved in Report Tools for easy editing or duplication.

9th December 2025 ----->

25th September 2025 -----> We’ve broken Log Reports out into their own dedicated module. This is a major structural shift that sets the stage for moving beyond just boreholes. Here’s what’s new:

A cleaner, smarter UI with a new “Builder” tab inside logs for streamlined report creation and editing.
Depth and page settings now live here. If you're looking to change where your log starts and stops, or manage pagination, this is the new place to do it.
Improved permissions so you have tighter control over who can access or edit log reports.
Templates have moved from the log config menu into the new Log Reports module for quicker access and cleaner organization.
The old log preview dropdown has been retired; all template updates and report controls are now handled directly in the module.
This update brings more clarity, more control, and sets us up to support more log types in the future, not just boreholes.

21st August 2025 -----> We’ve made it much easier to manage proposed boring locations in your projects and addressed one of the most requested features from users. Here’s what’s new:

You can now download your proposed boring locations directly from the project. The template includes all existing data in the tab so there’s no confusion about how to populate it.
You can now export boring locations as KML files, making it easy to bring them into GIS or mapping tools.
You can also reupload KML files to populate or update your proposed borings. The system matches locations by name, updating coordinates or creating new borings as needed.
This update simplifies borehole planning and gives you greater flexibility in how you work with location data.

22 July 2025 -----> Need to include extra project context, disclaimers, or notes? You can now attach PDF appendices to the end of your log reports — perfect for adding clarity without cluttering the core report.

Add multiple PDF appendices to any log.
Appendices appear after the final log page in the export.
Great for including explanatory notes, project details, or company-specific info.
Just upload your PDFs and select them during export — easy, flexible, and fully integrated.

17th June 2025 -----> Managing subsurface data just got way more efficient. With Bulk Edit Subsurface Profiles, you can now view and update subsurface records across all logs in a project—no need to open each log individually. Why you’ll love it:

Get a full, editable overview of subsurface data for the entire project.
Perfect for standardizing lithology, fixing input errors, or updating descriptions in bulk.
Edit directly from the Subsurface tab using dropdowns or free text fields.
Changes apply project-wide, streamlining your workflow and reducing mistakes.

29th April 2025 ----> You can now record groundwater observations directly against each individual log using a new dedicated Groundwater tab. Data is entered via a tabular format, allowing you to easily view previous entries side by side. Each row captures numeric-only fields, giving you a clean and consistent record. The interface is designed to mimic the sample entry experience you’re already familiar with. It’s a simple, structured way to track groundwater data alongside your borehole logs — with room to grow as your requirements evolve.

9th April 2025 -----> Environmental engineers will love this one. We’ve added more flexibility to how you capture site data by letting you log specific in-situ test and subsurface results directly against individual samples. Head to Manage Sample Types, and you’ll now see two new toggles:
