CalAmp K-12 (https://login.synovia.com)


  • Added four new columns to the Students tab of the global search results: Legacy ID, Is Current, Last Updated, and Internal ID, which will show the student ID number, a checked box if this is the most up-to-date record for the student, the date/time the student profile was most recently updated, and the route planner ID, respectively. This will help fix the problem of duplicate results due to old data.


CalAmp K-12 Mobile App


  • Fixed an issue that wouldn’t load all the routes and runs for drivers.
  • Fixed an issue that wasn’t displaying the first and last names correctly for logged-in employees.


Comparative Analysis/Time and Attendance


  • For customers with both TAA and CA (using the new PvA engine), added a Dispatch Monitor, which enables users to observe routes in real time, check whether arrivals and departures are occurring on time, and make sure that all their routes are covered. This is available on the Comparative Analysis menu. The grid lists all the routes by name, scheduled start time, scheduled and actual driver, scheduled and actual vehicle, and its status (such as Early, Late, On-Time, and At Risk). It also has an option to show you which routes have no driver schedules and which drivers have no assigned bus.
    Note: This is an add-on service with an additional monthly fee.


Comparative Analysis


  • For customers who are using the Overwrite Bell Time feature for their school locations, changed the Arrival Summary by Vehicle report (in the School Arrival [Bell Time] category) to use the manually entered bell times and the new processing for displaying more accurate Missed statuses.
  • Fixed an issue that wasn’t displaying the Active Tiers option on the Comparative Analysis menu for customers who had had the new PvA license enabled more than once due to customer roles not being given the correct permissions.


Here Comes the Bus App Version 3.5.10/Student Ridership


  • For students who use Bus Pass in the HCTB app to scan on the bus, added the option to use either a bar code or QR code for the scan. The app will persist the selection over multiple logins (and will default to whichever choice the student previously made).


Student Ridership


  • Fixed an issue that wasn’t returning data for the Scan History reports.


Time and Attendance


  • Added a Show Rounded Punch Time toggle to the parameters for the Clock In/Out Dwell report, which, when selected, will display the rounded punch-in and punch-out times (instead of the raw times). 
  • Fixed an issue that would prevent an employee’s time card from loading if the vehicle assigned to the associated schedule was deleted in the database. Now, an error will be displayed for the time card, plus a tooltip saying, “Assignment required,” but the existing shifts will be there.


Mobile Data Terminals


  • In CalAmp K-12, added a Vehicle Name column to the Conversations pane of the new Mail screen that will show the name/number of the bus the message was sent from/to.


JSON API


  • Added a new field to the response for /Taatime/ScansByDate, vehicleId, which will show the ID of the vehicle associated with the driver scan.
