# Waterly Rounds Update 2026-09-08

## Updates

### **Features**

#### **Reusable Phrases and Smart Text**

Save wording you use often and insert it again in data-point comments and report-email messages. On metrics configured as **Smart Text**, you can use saved phrases during Data Entry too. Your existing Text metrics continue to work as before.

### **Enhancements**

**Date Pickers Follow Your Organization's Format** - Date, date-and-time, and date-range pickers now follow the date format selected for your organization. This makes both displayed dates and typed entries more consistent across Waterly while preserving the underlying saved values.

**Clearer Dashboard Site Information** - Dashboard columns now use **Site** instead of **Facility Name**. When no sites match the **Out of Range** filter, Waterly now shows a clear empty-state message instead of a blank table.

**Easier-to-Read Phone Numbers** - Valid phone numbers now display with international spacing in user phone cards, operator selectors, and report phone rows. Numbers Waterly cannot format remain visible as entered.

**Report Groups for System Supervisors** - System supervisors can now create and manage report groups for the systems they supervise in Reporting.

Keep those ideas coming!
