May 2026 Update Improves Bump Test Reporting in Blackline Analytics

Learn about an upcoming update to Blackline Analytics that improves how device bump test 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 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. 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 test. 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

Currently, an up‑to‑date status reflects only the device's last reported information. When reviewing device status in Blackline Live, always check the following fields in the Overdue and Upcoming Tests tab of the Bump Tests and Calibrations report:

FieldDescription
Last CommunicationLook for a recent calibration date.
Last Bump TestIf these fields are blank, it might indicate that the device has not communicated with Blackline Live recently and bump test status might not be accurate.
