May 2026 Update Improves Bump Test and Calibration Reporting in Blackline Analytics
Learn about an upcoming update to Blackline Analytics that improves how device bump test and calibration status is determined.
In May 2026, Blackline Safety is improving how device status is displayed in Blackline Analytics to make it easier to confirm that your devices are up to date.
Blackline Analytics displays the bump test and calibration status of devices in the Bump Tests and Calibrations report. In some cases, a device might appear up‑to‑date in the Overdue and Upcoming Tests tab even if it has not connected to Blackline Analytics for an extended period and is due for a bump test or calibration. This behavior only occurs on the Overdue and Upcoming Tests tab of the Bump Tests and Calibrations report. It does not affect the information on the Usage and Compliance report, the Bump Tests and Calibrations report, or any other compliance metrics.
After this update, device status will be based on configuration profile settings and the date of the last successful bump test or calibration. As a result, devices that have not communicated with Blackline Analytics for an extended period will no longer appear as up to date. This update helps ensure that device status accurately reflects current connectivity and configuration.
Determining if a Device is Up-to-Date
Before this update, device status was based on the last reported data from each device. As a result, a device could appear up-to-date even if it had not communicated with Blackline Analytics in a long time.
With this update, device status now reflects both:
- Configuration profile settings
- The date of the last successful bump test or calibration
This change provides a more accurate view of device compliance.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Last Communication | Look for a recent communication date. |
| Last Bump Test | If these fields are blank, it might indicate that the device has not communicated with Blackline Live recently and bump test or calibration status might not be accurate. |
| Next Bump Test | |
| Last Calibration | |
