AGS 4 validation engine
The AGS 4 validation engine is now available in Manage. Run validation against your project data to catch issues before export.
What it covers
The engine includes seven rule categories, each with multiple checks:
- Depth rules - overlapping samples, gaps in continuous logs, samples exceeding final depth
- Spatial rules - coordinates outside site boundaries, missing or invalid grid references
- Date rules - end dates before start dates, dates in the future
- Completeness rules - required fields missing across AGS groups
- Relationship rules - orphaned child records, samples without parent locations
- Data quality rules - duplicate records, invalid values
- Geological rules - BS5930 checks against stratum descriptions and legend codes
How it works
Open a project in Manage and run the validator. Issues are grouped by rule with severity levels (error, warning, info) and row-level messages that tell you exactly what to fix. Each issue links back to the affected record.
Availability
Validation is available on Pro. The engine is built as a standalone package with full test coverage, so rules can be extended as standards evolve.
Map label offsets
Map labels in Manage can now be repositioned per-location, with a new auto-arrange tool for dense sites.
Drag to reposition
Every location label on the map is now draggable. Move a label away from its marker and it stays connected with a leader line. Offsets are stored per location on each project using angle and distance values, so the layout persists across sessions and exports.
Auto-arrange
For sites with many locations close together, the auto-arrange button spreads labels out to reduce overlaps. The algorithm works at the current zoom level - re-run after zooming if needed. You can fine-tune individual labels manually after auto-arranging.
Availability
Label offsets and auto-arrange are available on Pro as part of the map view in Manage.
Insight: read-only data explorer
Insight is a new read-only product for browsing project data across your organisation. Built for stakeholders, reviewers and anyone who needs to see the data without the risk of editing it.
How it works
Insight gives users a clean data grid for every AGS group across your projects. Filter by project, switch tables instantly, resize columns and export to CSV or JSON. There are no edit controls anywhere - it’s read-only by design.
Geology overlay
When reviewing samples or test results, toggle the geology overlay to see the corresponding stratum description for every record. Switch the source layer between GEOL, DETL or any code present in your data.
Permissions
Each user only sees the projects and tables they’re entitled to. Permissions are managed in Product OS so you set scope once and let the team explore.
Availability
Insight is included on both Go and Pro plans.
Connect: client portal for sharing data
Today we’re launching Connect, a brand new product in the GIMLabs platform. Connect is a branded client portal that lets you share project data with external contacts without giving them access to your internal tools.
It’s the answer to a question we hear all the time: how do I share live project data with my client without sending them an AGS file every Friday or giving them a license to our system?
How it works
From any project in Manage, you can invite a client contact by email. They get a sign-in link, set a password, and they’re in. They see a clean, branded portal with the projects you’ve shared with them - and only those projects.
Inside the portal, contacts can browse locations, view sample data, see geological logs, download exports, and check progress against the project schedule. Everything updates in real time as your team works in Log and Manage.
Granular permissions
You control exactly what each contact can see. Lock a contact to a single location group, hide specific tables, restrict export formats, or prevent downloads entirely. Permissions are managed at the project level so you can give different clients different views of the same data.
Branded for your business
Connect uses your logo and your brand colours. To your clients, it looks like part of your service - not a third-party tool. We handle the infrastructure, you get the credit.
Pricing
Connect is included on all plans. Go customers get CSV export. Pro unlocks all export formats including AGS and PDF logs.
