Release Date: January 2024
Here you will find the latest features, improvements, and bug fixes for 365 Booking & Dispatch.
To ensure you have the best experience using our product, we recommend updating to the latest version available.
Note: The features available to you will depend on the configuration and the current version of 365 Booking & Dispatch you're using.
What's New
Webphone: Calling Multiple Lines On Hold
To improve the Webphone within Booking & Dispatch, agents on another call can now call multiple lines while one line is on hold.
Return Journey: Skipping a Booking
Previously, if a booking with a return was skipped, the first leg of the journey would be skipped but not the return leg. To fix this issue, we have added a notification that alerts the operator about the return leg and asks if they would like to skip the return journey.
Shortcut Keys for Standard Messages (F9 + F1)
When sending a standard message to a driver by pressing F9 followed by F1 on the Dispatch screen, you can now see a new shortcut field within the message table. This makes it easier to identify the shortcut key for each message and simplifies the process of sending messages to the drivers.
Updating Priority Field Before Booking
For parity of a feature that exists in Ghost Windows, the Priority field now updates if the following fields cause priority to be added:
- Pickup Time (ASAP or Prebooking)
- Capability
- Address Fields
- Account
The priority field on the booking form is automatically updated to indicate where the priority has been set from, e.g. "5 (Set from Capability)".
Map: Toggle Pickups
To toggle the pickup markers of all jobs on the screen, use the new Pin () icon located in the top-right corner of the map.
You can navigate through the active booking table and use the 'L' key to locate the pin for that job on the map. Currently, clicking on the pin is necessary to send the booking to a vehicle.
Improvements
Autocab 365 URL
To avoid potential issues with using an outdated URL for 365, we recommend logging out of the system and using https://portal.autocab365.com/#/ after a new update.
Disable Confirmation Popup
When skipping return repeat bookings, the popup confirming the cancellation will no longer appear.
Mapbox Route Plotting: Update
We have resolved the issues with mapbox route plotting, improving accuracy and fixing imprecision, such as plotting routes onto grass instead of the road surface.
Tracking: Improvements
There have been some improvements made to tracking, which include:
- The F7 shortcut now opens the Tracking popup directly from the dispatch screen.
- The F8 shortcut now opens the Data Log History popup directly from the dispatch screen.
- Fixed the issue where the first tracking point would remain on the map even after unchecking the markers checkbox.
- The tracking route in the archived booking view has been modified to show tracking points.
