Application release notes

December 2015

• Map
  • When multiple trips are selected on the Trips history page, mousing over a trip from the left-side list will highlight the corresponding trip on the map.
  • The Nearest button shows the distance from the vehicle to the selected location in a tooltip. When the button is toggled on, the tooltips and vehicle are shown.  When toggled off, the vehicle remains visible on the map but the tooltip is hidden.
  • Vehicles can be dispatched directly from the Live Map.
  • Replay a trip through Google Street View using the "Trips street view" Add-On — with options to pause, rewind, and skip ahead.
• Reports
  • Added fill-ups to Excel reporting. You can now download, customize, create dashboards, and schedule Excel reports for fill-ups.
  • Evaluate fill-ups for potential discrepancies, such as fill-up being larger than the known tank size, mismatched locations, etc.  Note: these are just approximations and only identify fill-ups that need to be inspected.
  • The first day of the week can now be set to Saturday, Sunday, or Monday from the user preferences page. The chosen first day of the week is reflected in reports and dashboards.
  • The Time Card report, when run manually, can be optionally restricted to run only for work hours on the dashboard and emailed reports.
• Localization
  • Improvements in German and Japanese text.
• Minor UI enhancements
  • Groups with large numbers of sub-groups can expand and collapse subsets.
  • Permission to edit the dashboard has been added to the clearance "Change your own user options".
  • Minor restyling of the product guide.

  • Active Tracking can now be enabled for groups of vehicles. This allows you to enable Active Tracking for an entire fleet at once.
  • Animation speed is increased.
• Hours of Service
  • Hours of Service (HOS) availability now loads all drivers by default.
• Marketplace
  • By default, users will see all available Marketplace applications. These include both free and paid applications. Administrators can configure the Marketplace to display only free applications.

  • Improved Japanese language legibility with Noto Sans Japanese font.
  • The placeholder text for input fields and button tooltips support multiple languages.
• Access controls
  • Security clearance "Administer devices delete/unplug/replace" can be set on a per user basis. This clearance is now needed to makes changes on individual vehicles.

  • A cancel button was added to the rule edit page.
  • The placeholder text for input fields and button tooltips support multiple languages.
  • Route and Route plan changes include: numbering route stops; adding a drag icon to routes on a list; warning that if a trip is optimized it may change your stop order; clarified that optimization is based on shortest distance.

October 2015

• The list of parts and corresponding defects used by the driver vehicle inspection report (DVIR) can be customized for both vehicles and trailers. This is available under system settings.
• Both text messages and single-point destination dispatch messages can be sent to the hand-held Drive app. This is available as a Feature Preview option.
• Notification "Assign to group" allows you to assign a device to a specified group when an exception rule is broken.
• Speeding rules have a new condition type that specifies the source of the speed limit information. The speed limit provider options are: commercial, community or the default "all".
• New databases can be registered via the API (as well as the previously supported UI option).
• Security improvements. This is not the result of any security breaches. It is just part of our on-going, preemptive efforts to keep your data secure.
• We continue to refine our international support, including German street address layouts and translation placeholders for Add-Ins.

September 2015

• Active Tracking — which can be enabled vehicle by vehicle — has the following features:
  • Near-live vehicle animations on a map for critical applications such as ambulances and police vehicles.
  • Live, time-sensitive notifications such as posted road speed warnings.
  • Enabling Active Tracking will automatically activate the ProPlus rate plan.
• ProPlus — the ProPlus plan is now available. Billing at the ProPlus rate comes into effect for all installations using Active Tracking. Installs with IOX-CAN and IOX-RS232 will also be moved to the ProPlus plan (as their features require the use of additional data). You can view your current rate plan by going to the Vehicle Edit page.
• The SDK has been updated with new documentation, a new interactive runner, a preview of new objects and methods, along with a visual overhaul.
• Hours of Service (HOS) and Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports (DVIR) are supported in the API. You can retrieve data about HOS availability and violations, shipment logs, and trailers. Key objects are AnnotationLog, DVIRLog, DutyStatusAvailability, DutyStatusLog, DutyStatusViolation, ShipmentLog, and Trailer.
• New databases can be created through our API.
• During database registration, a dynamic preview of the URL for accessing the database will be shown based on the company name entered.
• California Hours of Service (HOS) rules are supported for property and passenger carrying commercial motor vehicles.
• The reminders report has a warning icon to identify vehicles in need of service.
• The risk management report lists the maximum vehicle speed.
• The directions report has multi-language support.

August 2015

• Forgot your password? Enter your email and database and a reset password link will be emailed to you.
• Maintenance history and reminder rules have been substantially revised for easier use.
• Stay informed about relevant news, web portal maintenance alerts as well as new features. You may receive a green pop-up from time to time, which is also accessible in your notifications list. You can change your preference on receiving these alerts by clicking on your username in the top right corner and selecting Options.
• Toggling an exception on the map legend now also toggles the exception icon against the live vehicle or historical trips list. This allows you to quickly identify the vehicle or trip that had a particular exception. The legend also has a convenient select/deselect all exceptions button.
• Emailed notification templates support embedded maps. Please use the token {map} in your template.
• Routine purging of HOS and DVIR data is available as a Feature Preview. Schedules are configurable to meet regulatory limits of HOS/DVIR data retention.
• The fuel fill-ups report includes driver information.
• Importing a database from MSAccess is no longer supported and must be done through a support request.

July 2015

• Telematic device health is monitored. Opt-in to the System Notice rule to receive troubleshooting alerts. (See System Exceptions for more details).
• The product feedback links, which are available when you edit a tooltip, now take you to a language appropriate feedback page.
• Emailed Reports option pages have been updated to clarify redirection etc. (See section Emailed Reports for more details).
• Zone highlighting has been changed.
  • Labels for zones which are grayed out are hidden to reduce clutter.
  • Highlight zones on this route is now cumulative, so that you can simultaneously highlight the zones from multiple routes.
  • Clicking on a previously highlighted zone now provides an option to turn the highlighting off.
• A fuel fill-up summary was added to the device page heading. This shows the average fuel economy, total volume and (if transactions are imported), the total cost for the time period selected.

June 2015

• The HOS (hours of service) availability report has been released from feature preview status. It provides driver HOS availability in hours for driving, duty, rest, and cycle. The drivers' current status is displayed, and the report can be sorted by different availability criteria as well as HOS rule sets.
• Immobilization is now more accurately referred to as Driver ID relay. Tooltips precisely describe the functionality.
• Known Issues and workarounds are listed for each software version. This can be found by clicking on Support from the left navigation bar.
• Trips and stops are color coded. A small bar to the left of a selected trip on the trip list will be colored to match the trip shown on the map. All trips for the same vehicle will have the same color. Trips for different vehicles will have different colors.

May 2015

• The feature preview HOS (hours of service) availability report now allows you to sort by HOS rule set
• Engine faults and engine measurements reports have an option to filter by any diagnostic. Previously searches were limited to diagnostics from two sources: telematics system and telematics device. Now you can search for diagnostics in other sources too. To find the name of a particular diagnostic, select one vehicle and leave the "diagnostic search" box blank to run the report for all diagnostics. If you know the name of the specific diagnostic you want, type that name into the diagnostic search box. The diagnostic drop down selector will only show the top 500 diagnostics from the two most used sources, telematics system and telematics device.
• The Fuel Used and Fill-ups reports now allow you to examine a list of devices which did not meet your reports search parameters, and why. Click on the Limited Results message at the top of your report.
• In the Fill-ups report, display devices which have limited diagnostic support, (such as fuel level, but not fuel used), explicitly indicate that the engine diagnostic is missing.
• The Fuel Tax report now allows you to filter the mileage into IFTA and non-IFTA states (Alaska, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Yukon Territory, Northwest Territory, Nunavut, and Mexico). Look at the Advanced Fuel Tax Report's "Report" or "Summary" sheets for the "Is IFTA State/Province?" field.
• Garmin routes are optimized for smaller displays, putting the zone/stop name first.
• Users can no longer download report templates outside of their data access scope. This means that you can add sensitive information to your custom reports, and it will remain secure.
• “Previous 30 days” is now an added option for reports. It is time sensitive, so if it were run on June 30th at 5 PM, the report range is from May 31st at 5 PM to June 30th at 5 PM

April 2015

• “unknown driver” is included in the drop down list of drivers for exception rules. This allows you to identify vehicles which are moving without a driver logging into the reader.

March 2015

• Support for Imperial MPG (used in United Kingdom) added in the Fuel Usage report. Users can now select their own preference for displaying L/100 km or MPG (US or Imperial) in Options page. This option does not affect your preference for viewing distance or speeds in metric or imperial — good news for those who live in a metric country but still think in MPG!
• The registration process automatically sets the correct map view (for example, view of Europe or North America), units of measure (US or Imperial) and date/time format (mm/dd/yyyy or 01:15pm vs. 13H15) based on your location.
• Report redirection allows reports to be emailed to an alternative recipient. This allows you to create a “trial run” of a scheduled report. You could send it to yourself to verify the reports and content and when you are satisfied schedule it to your target audience.

February 2015

• When you hover over an asset in the “Vehicles” section, additional vehicle data is displayed (existing functionality). Engine hours has been added to the data displayed.
• Garmin Safe Mode will be automatically activated for all Garmin units which support this feature. This limits the functionality, including locking the “text while driving” feature while the vehicle is in motion.

January 2015

• Bing is no longer a Map Provider. If your default was Microsoft Bing, it is now Google Maps. There is no action needed on your part.
