October 2025 Chateau Release Notes

Leaks

• Last AVO Result Column: Corrected display issue where the Leak Grid showed “Fail” even when no AVO result existed.
• Emission Points for Suggested Components: Approved suggested components now correctly populate with emission points.
• Customizable Leak Alert Times: Leak Alerts can now be scheduled to send at a specific time. The Time to Send field (defaulted to 4:00 AM) can now be customized in 15-minute intervals. A Send Now button has also been added for immediate delivery of unscheduled alerts.

Porches

• Audit Descriptions: Audit types are now visible in the Audit Settings grid and on porch results. Descriptions have been cleaned up for clarity.
• Leak Response Timing: Fixed issue where the Late Leak Response porch alerted one day early.
• Last Run Date Logic for Re-enabled Audits: If an audit is turned off for 30 days or more and then re-enabled, Chateau will automatically backdate the last run date by 30 days. This avoids the audit attempting to process excessive historical data.
• QC Tour Option Temporarily Removed: The "Build QC Tour" option has been temporarily removed from the New Components porch while improvements are being made.
• MOC Porch Performance: Updated to support large result sets with improved load and filtering behavior.

Scheduling

• M21 Scheduling Accuracy: Fixed edge case where components with a leak opened in one month and retested the next weren’t being scheduled properly.
• MMQ Phase Advancement While on DOR: A new configuration setting allows clients to control whether a passing inspection should advance the MMQ phase while a component is under Delay of Repair. By default, MMQ advancement is allowed. Contact LDARtools Support to modify this behavior.
• InspectionWhy Prioritization: When a component is due for multiple inspections on the same day, the highest-priority InspectionWhy is now displayed on the schedule.

Reports

• Comparative Monitoring Report: A powerful quality assurance tool designed to enhance data consistency and technician performance analysis.

This report allows managers to compare M21 inspections between two technicians to identify training opportunities and ensure high data quality.

• Compare Key Metrics: PPM values, inspection time per component, and “JTime” (time between inspections).
• Customizable Thresholds: Set what constitutes a variance for each metric.
• Focused View: “Show Just Variances” mode helps pinpoint inconsistencies.
• Activated Components Report: Now correctly includes components initially added with a TUx profile.
• Periodic Inspection Summary: Fixed error where new DORs were counted in the Beginning DOR Count.
• DTM Count Report Enhancements:
  • Resolved issue where the report showed zero counts.
  • Added filtering by Physical State.

Rules

• Leak Response Calendar/Business Day Fix: Copying rules with leak response deadlines set to business days no longer converts them to calendar days.
• Leak Response Rules – First Repair Attempt Indexing: Chateau now supports leak response rules that base First Retest and Final Resolution deadlines on the date of the First Repair Attempt (e.g., for OOOOb compliance). These fields will display "TBA" until the First Repair Attempt is recorded.
• Backdating for Upstream Facilities: You can now configure rules with backdated application/initiation dates for upstream-affected components. Contact LDARtools Support to enable.
• Minimum Time Between Inspections: Chateau now supports a minimum-days-between-inspections constraint per inspection type (excluding Retests). A Hold Until After column has been added to the Schedule grid to indicate when inspections become eligible to be performed. Tours cannot be built until this minimum wait time passes. Contact LDARtools Support to enable this feature.

Components

• Inspection Add Issue: Fixed bug where grid results disappeared after adding an inspection from the Tag View.
• Safety Equipment Field: Prevents auto-population of Safety Equipment when adding a new component.

Majordomo

• Automated Role Assignment Emails: Administrators will now receive daily summary emails when role assignments change within their databases.
• Terminology Update: The “Owner” role has been renamed to Administrator for clarity.
• Device Registration via QR Code: Chateau Mobile Devices can now be registered in Majordomo using a QR code—no need for usernames or passwords. Once registered, devices can be assigned to one or more databases just like Users.
  • Android: When attempting to register the device again after reinstalling Chateau Mobile, Majordomo will recognize it as an existing device and automatically re-associate it with the original registration—no need to manually reassign. This excludes a factory reset of the device.
  • iOS: When attempting to register the device again after reinstalling Chateau Mobile, Majordomo will treat it as a brand-new device. The previously registered version will not be recognized and must be manually deactivated in Majordomo.

API

• New API Endpoints Added:
  • Pull tour data from Chateau.
  • Push AVO inspection records from external systems.
  • Push Repair Attempt records from external systems.

Inspections

• Deletion Fixes: You can now delete inspections that have been edited or have documents attached.
• Grid Performance: Both the OGI Inspections grid and Main Inspection grid have been optimized to support large datasets.

Calibrations

• Drift Result Display Fix: The Calibration grid no longer shows “Failed” in the Drift 1 and Drift 2 columns when no drift values are recorded.

General

• Grid Failure Feedback: Grids now display clear error messages when they fail to load—no more blank screens.

Chateau Mobile Redesign

• New User Experience: The redesigned Chateau Mobile app has been officially released, featuring a modernized interface, improved performance, and simplified workflows for inspections in the field. There is so much to cover in this redesign but we’ve hit a few of the highlights below:
  • Improved Filtering for Tour Components: The updated interface includes streamlined filtering tools when viewing and managing components within a tour.
  • Simplified Post-Inspection Workflow: After completing an inspection the Post-Inspection workflow is faster and more intuitive, helping users complete their work with fewer taps and less confusion.
  • Add via Photo: Technicians can now take a photo of multiple components and quickly create and tag new components directly from the image.
  • Faster device registration with QR code scanning.
  • Increased performance on all devices – rebuilt on a new platform, we see performance increases across all devices for app responsiveness and load times.
• iOS Support: We’re excited to announce Chateau Mobile is now available for iOS devices. Please note that Bluetooth analyzer connections are not supported on iOS at this time.
  • For M21 inspections on iOS devices, users can manually enter PPM values, as Bluetooth analyzer connections are not currently supported on iOS.
