Ideagen EHSQ Enterprise or Decani end users who want to know about changes to the platform

No elevated permissions are required

We’re excited to introduce the first phase of the EHS+Q platform redesign — a significant step forward in making the platform clearer, faster, and more intuitive for everyone who uses it every day. 

Release 2.64.4 goes live on June 25, 2026, and everything described here will be available to you automatically. No action required on your part. Here is a detailed overview of each enhancement you will observe.

For updates to administrative tools see Managing Phase 1 UI redesign administrative tools.

Primary navigation

Dashboard cards and components have been enhanced with increased spacing, refined borders, and an improved visual hierarchy. This ensures that the content is more easily navigable, with the most important information being prominently highlighted.

Find the ‘Create new’ button in its new home

The large teal ‘Create New’ button in the left navigation rail has been replaced with a sleek, compact icon. 

Record creation has moved somewhere even better. A new Quick Create toolbar sits at the top of each dashboard page, putting shortcuts like New Incident, New Observation, and New Permit right where you start your day.

The specific buttons shown are tailored by your administrator to match your role and the dashboard you’re working from.

See your location more clearly with the updated page header

The page title has moved out of the top header bar and into a dedicated page header area directly beneath it. Breadcrumbs — which show your current location in the platform — now appear above the page title, making it even easier to orient yourself and navigate back through the hierarchy.

The active section in the navigation rail is highlighted in brand pink, so you always know exactly where you are.

Note: If your organization has onboarded to Ideagen Hub, you will now see a Hub icon in the header. Click it to access AI-enabled features.

Dashboards

Create records faster with Quick Create buttons

Your dashboard now features a toolbar of Quick Create buttons at the top of the page. These give you direct one-click access to create the record types most relevant to your role — such as New Incident or New Permit — without navigating away from your starting view.

This means quicker, one-click access to the record types you use most — without having to leave the dashboard.

Navigate the ‘Create new’ modal with greater ease

Opening the Create New modal now reveals a much more visual experience. The Shortcuts tab displays modules as an icon-based grid, grouped and color-coded by a programmer — making it significantly faster to find what you need at a glance rather than scanning through a flat list.

The same refreshed design now appears in the search dropdown in the main search bar, giving a consistent and polished experience across the whole platform.

The All tab has also been refreshed with clearer visual separations between groups, and filtering works exactly as it always has.

Record screens

Start new records on a focused, clutter-free screen.

When you begin a new record, the Initiate step now presents a streamlined, focused environment:

• Breadcrumbs are hidden during initiation to keep the screen clean
• The navigation rail is replaced with a hamburger menu, freeing up valuable screen space
• Export and Options controls are removed from this step

The Back, Save, and Submit buttons remain exactly where you’d expect them. This focused view applies only to the Initiate step, so the full interface is restored as you move through the workflow.

Track your required fields progress at a glance

The required fields helper has been completely reimagined. Instead of a side panel that competes for screen space, you now see a clean status bar in the toolbar showing your completion progress (for example: “1 of 14 required fields complete”).

When you’re ready to see the details, click ‘View required fields’ to open a focused dropdown showing only the fields still to be completed. Clicking any field in the list jumps you straight to it in the form — the same helpful behavior, now in a much tidier package.

Note: The updated required fields display applies to all workflow steps, not just initiation.

Spot required fields consistently across all record types

Required fields now display a uniform red asterisk (*) across all record types and field layouts, including data table fields.

The previous bold red underline used on child data table fields has been retired in favor of this cleaner, consistent approach.
