March 2022 Release Notes

Permanent User Interface for All Users

Compass Style is an updated interface for fonts and colors. As of April 22, 2022, the permanent user interface for all users will be Compass Style.

Newer customers will be unaffected by this change.

When you are logged in to Trimble Unity Construct, if you see the Switch to Compass Style toggle button at the top of your page, we recommend that you click it to enable the Compass Style for your account. If you do not see this toggle, your account has already been updated to use the Compass Style and no further action will be necessary.

If you are an Administrator, please check the Color Scheme settings and switch to the Compass Style so that all of your users can view and use the latest interface.

(Setup> Administration Tools> Settings> Color Scheme> Select the Switch to the Compass style now option)

The toggle option will be removed on April 22, 2022.

In this enhancement, a redesigned website for the Community has been launched.

Once you are logged in to your Trimble Unity Construct account, you will be able to access the new Community from your username drop-down menu.

GovCloud users will also be able to access the community in the same way.

If you receive an error while trying to access the Community, please email our Support team at support@e-builder.net.

On the Community website, you will be able to access your user profile, settings and messages from your username drop-down menu.
