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


  • Added the ability to map a retired vehicle's history, via a new Map History button on the System Administration >> Vehicles screen. The Vehicle History screen will default to selecting the last day the vehicle was modified (or if multiple retired vehicles were selected, to the last change for all the vehicles). (Note: If the vehicle was retired long enough ago, its data will no longer be immediately available in Synovia, as it has been moved to the archives. You can request archived data from your CSM.)
  • Added retired vehicles to the results of a search.
  • Added a Vehicle Type column to the Hardware screen.
  • Added an Edit icon to the Hardware screen, which opens the Edit Vehicle screen for the vehicle. (Note: For consortium customers, this will appear only for vehicles related to the current customer.)
  • Corrected the text in the warning dialog box that appears when clicking Back on the Add New Role screen.
  • Fixed a bug that was producing an error when users tried to edit or create a group.

Comparative Analysis – Synovia Site


  • Added the ability for users to manually create Planned vs. Actual stop matches via a new right-click option (for unmatched stops in the grid), Create Actual Match. The users specify stop start and end events and can use a new Event Settings option to choose which events will be available for this.
  • Added the ability for users to manually add students to the manifest via a new Add Student option in the PvA by Stop screen's Stop Details dialog box, which will enable users to add and edit the student scan for the stop (unless there is a scan for the student for the same date on another vehicle).

Time and Attendance


  • Fixed an issue with printing the Standard Time Card report using the TAA Portal that wasn't including the Rounded Hours Worked column.
  • Fixed a bug with the Work Monitor that was producing an error when users tried to clock out drivers.
  • Made it possible for employees assigned directly to parent departments (which is an incorrect practice; employees should be assigned to child departments, NOT to parent ones) to be included in exports.
  • Fixed an issue that was causing SSL certificate errors to appear.


Synovia API


  • Added a new field for the s0123 call, SourceAddressDescription, which will be a description of what the SourceAddress DTC number/value means, such as SourceAddressDescription="Brakes, Power Unit".
