Synovia Site (https://login.synovia.com)


  • For public safety departments, added a new type of location, Protected, which will be excluded from vehicle history Excel report exports. This can keep locations that shouldn't be divulged to the public private, such as addresses of police officers' homes or witnesses in police protection. Only users with the Protection Admin role will be able to create or view Protected zones – or even see the new Locations column Protected.
  • On the Vehicle Types >> Add/Edit Vehicle Type screen, added a new MDT Config tab (available only for Synovia employees), with which users can define MDT settings by vehicle type, including settings for routing, Ridership, Navigation, TAA, and inspections.
  • Made sure that Show in Device is toggled on by default for a newly created inspection form item (so that it actually appears in the inspection form on the MDTs).
  • Fixed a bug with the Add Subitem dialog box of Inspection Setup that would close out of the box if the user pressed Enter (instead of adding the subitem).
  • Fixed a bug with Search and Advanced Search that wasn't finding all the groups a user had privileges to view.
  • Fixed an issue that was preventing the Vehicle Summary report from returning results.
  • Fixed an issue that was causing the Vehicle Inspection report to not return any results if the All Events/Defects Only option was selected.
  • Fixed a bug that was swapping latitude and longitude values for reported events.
