Release Date: March 2024
Here you will find the latest features, improvements, and bug fixes for the 365 Management.
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 the 365 Management you're using.
What's New
Historic Travel Times
In the Route Calculation section of Dispatch Configuration there is a new setting, Consider Historic Travel Times, which controls whether the system uses historical traffic data when calculating routes and estimated time of arrivals (ETA). This feature can enhance the accuracy of routes and ETA's depending on the time of day/week.
To enable this setting:
- In 365 Management, go to Dispatch> Dispatch Configuration > Route Calculation.
- Navigate to the Route Calculation Options section and toggle on to enable.
Note: This setting is disabled by default. To use it, you must enable it first.
Vehicle Shift Patterns
A new setting called 'Shift Pattern' has been added to Vehicle Details, which is already available for Drivers. This new feature enables you to set a shift pattern for a vehicle, which gives you complete control over when the vehicle can be used on and off-shift.
To use this setting:
- In Management, go to Drivers/Vehicles > Vehicles.
- Create a new vehicle or double-click on a vehicle in the list to edit.
- Go to the Details tab and scroll down until you find Shift Pattern.
- Select the menu button to open your list of shift patterns.
Note: To create shift patterns, in Management go to Drivers/Vehicles > Shift Patterns and use the Add button to create a new shift pattern.
- Choose your shift pattern and highlight it by single-clicking. Then press Confirm to add it to your vehicle.
- Make sure to Save to apply your shift pattern.
Charge for Prebooking
In the Fixed and Variable Tariffs' Settings tab, there's a new setting called Charge for Prebooking. This setting allows an additional fee or a discount to be applied if a job matching this tariff is pre-booked.
Improvements
Pricing Tariffs: Passenger Range Toggle
Previously, when editing a pricing tariff under the Time & Location tab, if the Passenger Range option was disabled while the Passenger Range values of 'From' and 'To' were filled, an error would occur upon saving the tariff. To prevent this from happening, the passenger range values are now cleared when the passenger range is toggled off.
Improved Document Sender Performance
We have improved the performance of the Document Sender as some systems with a high driver count could encounter issues with high CPU usage and take a long time if selecting all drivers within their system. Now when selecting a large number of drivers, the selection process is instant.
Removed Ignore Times Setting
We have removed the Ignore Times setting in Route Calculation as it was deprecated and used for old technology.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed: Issue affecting Variable and Fixed Tariffs and Fare Settings templates where the 'Waiting Time Builder' is not working correctly.
- Fixed: Issue where the custom address map marker is appearing in the wrong location.
- Fixed: Issue affecting Email Templates where the booking fields are not sending in the order specified.
- Fixed: Issues causing poor performance when getting the advanced backup zones for a company.
- Fixed: Issue where changes that are made to the Companies field when editing a pricing zone group are not saving.
- Fixed: Issue in the Document Sender where inactive drivers are appearing in the list when selecting a company from the 'Required Companies' filter.
