Hello!

We just released new functionality for the Eleos Mobile Platform in version 1.38.4 and we wanted to be sure we let you know!

⭐️ Manage Geotab Integration

We’ve made it possible to configure the Geotab integration directly from the Platform Dashboard. You can set up the integration, confirm its status, and disable it all without having to contact support.
As part of this change, we’ve split App Development into a separate permission, which will be automatically granted to anyone who previously had the App Configuration permission. See the Users tab of the Document Hub to manage permissions across your account. You can reserve the App Development permission to those users that need to modify service settings, URLs, and integrations, but still grant App Configuration to anyone managing forms, actions, and other app data.

⭐️ Manage Document Types

In the same vein, we’ve also added the ability to manage document types, page limits, and FTP formats from the Platform Dashboard.

⭐️ Pre-download Map Data

For company-managed devices, we now offer the ability to remotely trigger downloading map data for an entire geographic area. For example, you can download map data for the entire United States during device provisioning. This helps conserve cellular data in the field, and it improves guidance when the device is outside a service area.

Everything Else

Server

The following items are server-side changes, and will take effect for drivers running both older and updated versions of the app, or only affect the Platform Dashboard or Drive Axle Hub.

🔧 Once you upgrade to Geotab server version 1903, updates to shipments made by the Platform when manage_shipments is set to true are now visible immediately rather than after a delay of up to 15 minutes
🔧 The Hours of Service card will automatically be added to the top of a user's app dashboard if the Geotab integration is enabled for that user. If the Hours of Service card is already present on the user’s dashboard, no additional card will be added, and the position of the original card will not be changed. This ensures ELD rule compliance.

🐞 Fixed a crash that could occur when tapping into Trip Planner.
🐞 Fixed: When typing into a barcode form field, the focus remains in the field rather than dismissing the keyboard after each keypress.
🐞 Fixed: We eliminated several cases where account takeover for a Geotab driver would fail (due to deletion or being renamed from within MyGeotab) so that takeover will proceed normally and intervention by our support staff is no longer required.

 

iOS
🐞 Fixed: The map will now properly follow your finger when dragging in Trip Planner or route overview.
🐞 Resolved an issue where European-style truck restriction indicators might show briefly the first time Trip Planner was used.

 

Android
🔧 Reduced target rendering frame rate for turn-by-turn directions for lower-powered tablets, such as the Samsung Tab A, to help keep the device from becoming overloaded.
🔧 Increased the maximum amount of local storage space that can be used on the device for storing map data to 2GB, to prevent the same map areas from having to be repeatedly re-downloaded.

🐞 Eliminated several conditions that could lead to the turn-by-turn directions view locking up, freezing, or failing to update your position on the map.
🐞 Fixed a bug where a telephone-type field within a screen couldn’t be prefilled with a value
🐞 Fixed a case where a newly-sent message or action wouldn’t be delivered to the server immediately after being sent, and would be delayed until the next major action taken in the app, such as navigating between screens or leaving the app and returning.
🐞 Fixed an issue affecting devices with small screens when rotated to landscape where digits would be entered in reverse order while searching for a trailer using in Geotab.
🐞 Fixed: The map will now properly follow your finger when dragging in Trip Planner or route overview.
🐞 Resolved an issue where European-style truck restriction indicators might show briefly the first time Trip Planner was used.
