Comparative Analysis - New Synovia Site


  • Added functionality to the Fleet Tracking Schools tab's context menus: Right-clicking a school brings up the Monitor Arrival option, which will launch the School Monitor; right-clicking a tier offers PvA, Substitutions, Route Details, Map History, and Watch Live options.
     
  • Added functionality to the Fleet Tracking Itineraries tab's context menus: Right-clicking an itinerary brings up the Itinerary Details option, which will launch the specifics about the itinerary; right-clicking a route offers PvA, Substitutions, Monitor Route, Route Details, Map History, and Watch Live options; and right-clicking a tier offers PvA, Substitutions, Route Details, Map History, and Watch Live options.
     
  • Fixed the search result screens with itinerary and route details that showed the same values in the Tier, School(s), Bell Time(s), Start Time, and End Time columns.
     
  • Corrected the Substitutions screen to show the time in the Subbed On field in the customer's local time instead of in UTC.
     
  • Added a Tier column to the School Monitor's details grid.
     
  • Added the Planned vs. Actual Stop reports, more School Arrival reports, the Route Performance reports, and the Tier Performance reports.
     
  • Fixed an issue with the Miles Over column of the Planned vs. Actual Stop reports, which was reporting incorrect percentages.
     
  • Improved the performance of the School Monitor and Yard Monitor.
     
  • After fixing a bug that was causing the Yard Daily Details report to fail when scheduled (last release), determined that reports that were planned and scheduled before the fix still were in error and that the best fix was to create the report again and set up a new schedule for it.
     
  • Fixed a bug when exporting to PDF or Excel from the Comparative Analysis >> Mapping screen that produced dates that didn't match what was onscreen.
     
  • Fixed an issue with the Yard Monitor that displayed previously closed yards in the grid again if the user changed something using the Settings icon (such as changing to show just departures).
     
  • On the Planned vs. Actual Stop screen, decreased the border size of the stop radius on the map and increased the opacity of the fill so that street names can still be easily read if two radiuses overlap.
     
  • Reduced the number of visible columns in the Planned vs. Actual Stop grid because the data was too small to be viewed. (In particular, hid the Type and Event columns.)
     
  • Changed the font color to white in the actual side of the Planned vs. Actual Stop grid so that the text could be read against the red background.
     
  • Changed the font color to white in the School Monitor details grid if the status has a red background so that the text can be read.

  • Made the A in "and" lowercase on the Time and Attendance Home screen.
     
  • Stopped unnecessary log entries.
     
  • Reduced the number of digits after the decimal point in the Guaranteed Vs. Actual Work (Day) report to just two. (For example, instead of displaying "6.05000" for the number of FTE hours, it will now show "6.05.")
     
  • Fixed an issue that was allowing two holidays to be saved for a single day.
     
  • Fixed a bug with the Audit Trail report that was showing a different employee's results than the one that was selected in the Employee tree.

  • Fixed a bug with the Generic Guaranteed Hours by Day export that didn't return the absence codes as a separate row, even though Absence Code was selected as a field and the Report Absence As Separate Row check box was selected.
     
  • Added a drop-down list for Absence/Holiday Hours for the Generic Guaranteed Hours by Day export to the Admin >> Employee Types Employee Type Hours tab that enables the user to specify what job type to report the absence or holiday as. This depends on Include Absence in Contract Hours and/or Include Holiday in Contract Hours being selected on the Import/Export >> Export Time Field Mappings tab.

  • Added support for the jPOD2 interface to allow the LMU-4230 to perform engine diagnostics.


Micronet A317 MDT


  • Changed how stops at intersections are handled, making the directions fit the stop's location better. For example, before, the navigation engine would sometimes instruct the driver to turn right even though the stop at the intersection wasn't to the right but was on the same street; now the directions will point them more specifically to the correct spot.
