  • Added a Merge All Duplicates feature to the System Administration >> Vehicles screen that will enable users to merge duplicate vehicles (copied during the import process) into one entity.
  • Added the ability to export the list of vehicles to PDF or Excel prior to merging (on the Merge Duplicate Vehicles screen) so that users can see a snapshot (including all the duplicates) of what existed before a merge took place.
  • Added new columns to the Core >> Cellular reports that list the percentages for each type (such as Excellent coverage) and include a total calculated using an average of the values. Also, turned on the Cellular reports category for all Administrator users.
  • On all screens (including parameter screens for reports) that load a vehicle tree, improved the load time for the list of vehicles.
  • Added a Driver Name column to the Defect History screen.
  • Made some UI fixes for the Service Manager, including changing dialog box titles and text prompts.
  • On the detail screen for an alert, changed the Note value in the grid to use metric system data for metric system users.
  • For customers whose users log in to Synovia using SSO (single sign-on) exclusively, took away their ability to reset or change their passwords.
  • For report results that include sum totals, added those sums to the exported PDF and Excel files.
  • Fixed an issue with report results that sum up a column of data not displaying the entirety of the Sum Total number (due to the column width being set by the values, not the sum).
  • Fixed a bug on the detail screen for an alert that would still keep the Acknowledge button as an option at the top right, even if the user clicked Acknowledge in the Alerts pop-up dialog box.
  • For the Hardware dashboard, changed the text of Vehicles Reporting and Peripherals Reporting to green when they're at 100%.
