  • On map screens, added options to Settings for users to display more data in the map labels in addition to the vehicle name: primary group, driver name, and, if the customer has TAA, who is logged in on the vehicle.
  • Added the ability to expand the Group/Vehicle Hierarchy tree of the Heat Map Cellular Coverage report further, so users can get heat map results for individual vehicles within a primary group, not just the entire group.
  • For scheduled reports sent via SFTP, added Failed as the displayed Status value on the Scheduled Reports screen if sending the report was unsuccessful.
  • Fixed a bug with the Mileage Details by Vehicle and Mileage Summary reports, which was displaying inflated mileage values for vehicles.
  • Fixed an issue with the Vehicle Summary report that was displaying records for days that weren't selected in the parameters.
  • Fixed a bug that wasn't displaying report data in users' customized layout views.
  • Fixed an issue with multiple screens that were using the customer's localization settings instead of the user's (so if the user wasn't in the same time zone, their data would display incorrect times).
  • For consortium customers, fixed a bug that wasn't displaying child report results for operators.
