  • Fixed an issue with the Hardware Health reports not having data if using Internet Explorer 11.
     
  • Added a Clear History button to the Vehicle History screen.
     
  • Fixed a bug on the Inventory screen that occurred after applying a filter to find one item and deleting that item which then showed only an empty Inventory screen (because the filter was still looking for that item). Now the filter is cleared after the item is deleted, and the Inventory screen is refreshed.

  • Fixed a bug that prevented Map Group Snapshot from working for PM times.
     
  • Enlarged the Search box for the Find Location window.
     
  • Added a check box to the Alerts screen to select all the alerts so that all could be acknowledged at once.
     
  • If a customer is using the Watch Live feature and then selects Map Group Snapshot, made the software automatically exit Watch Live mode.
     
  • Fixed a bug in some reports that had an empty child group appear twice in the Vehicles list of choices and be selected by default.
     
  • Fixed a bug that displayed the wrong file size when a user uploaded their own images to use as event icons.
     
  • For reports, consolidated the group and vehicle filters into a single filter, so this works like the fleet/vehicle filter does in legacy.
