September 2020

New Features and Enhancements

• Updated several dynamic translation keys to account for upcoming FMCSA ruleset changes.

• Fixed a fault that could cause "Vehicle Input" column values shown on the Vehicles screen to overlap one another when using the "Large" and "Medium" font and screen scaling settings.
• Corrected a bug that could result in non-English language interfaces displaying US number formatting (that is, not using commas rather than periods as decimal places).
• Fixed a fault that could stop InSight Alerts email notifications, configured from the Setup InSight Alerts screen, from being sent.
• Corrected a Map screen problem that allowed vehicle balloon pop-ups to show a future date as the "Last Update" value.
• Fixed a bug that caused errors to be shown immediately after a report processing operation was started.
• Fixed a fault that stopped some report screens showing date range selectors.
• Fixed a Hierarchy interface problem that stopped the "Add Vehicles" dialog opening from the Vehicles tab.
• Fixed a Hierarchy bug that caused various dialog boxes to stop appearing as expecting when repeatedly adding or removing items (vehicles, drivers etc.) from a node.

August 2020

Bug Fixes / Technical Release Notes

• Fixed a bug in some InSight Alerts and Trip reports that caused metadata names to be shown in the alert type column.

July 2020

New Features and Enhancements

• Improved the formatting of numbers in some reports for countries outside of the US.
• Increased the row limit supported by some custom InSight Alert, IFTA and Mileage analytics report types, allowing them to report over longer timeframes.

Bug Fixes / Technical Release Notes

• Corrected an intermittent external services error message in Fleet caused by session timeouts. 
• Fixed an InSight Alerts fault that could cause blank alert lists when clicking the "Go to Alerts" button on alert pop-up notifications.
• Fixed a formatting issue in All Faults Reports (DTC) reports when exported in spreadsheet format that caused "Vehicle Year" values to be shown with two unnecessary decimal values (for example "2020.00").
• Fixed a bug that could cause reports to fail if the report's source template had been deleted.
• Corrected a translation bug that stopped expired session warning messages being displayed in Italian when using the Italian language interface.
• Corrected an iframe redirect fault that could cause accounts to trigger more than one session poll request, eventually blocking the connection.

June 2020

Bug Fixes / Technical Release Notes

• Fixed a problem on the map that stopped the Find nearest vehicle window loading correctly from the Go To dialog box.
• Fixed a Unit Health reports problem that could cause Fleet to use an older analytics generator, and therefore the report to fail.
• Corrected a bug that resulted in Trip reports not displaying the marker used for the End Location.
• Fixed a fault that stopped the "No Signal Timeout" setting on the Parameters tab of the Asset Types screen from taking the vehicle ignition state into account. This could in turn cause an invalid "No Signal" message to be displayed. To prevent this, the default value for this timeout has been increased from 30 minutes to 1440 minutes (24 hours).

• Corrected a reporting fault that could stop the report subject from being translated.

May 2020

• Updated several incorrect or missing Italian language translations in the Digital Tachograph screen.

• Corrected a fault in report templates that stopped some templates using unique IDs, which in turn prevented these templates being replaced correctly by newer versions.

• Corrected a cosmetic issue in Idle Time reports in tabular output format.
• Corrected a bug in Unit Health reports that showed different vehicle numbers for hierarchy nodes and their parent "Active" nodes when both should be the same.
