View a vehicle or a driver's last known location

(Requires a license for RouteReporter)

A new Last Known Location tab has been added to the information available about each of your Assets (vehicles, drivers or mobile devices). It displays a map showing the location and time the last GPS ping was received from the Asset. There are three ways to view the Last Known Location, if available:

1. Select the Assets tab and click on an Asset to open the Edit Asset screen, and then select the Last Known Location tab.
2. Add a Last known Location column to the Assets table. Click the gear button at the top of the table and select Last Known Location under View Columns.
3. View all assets in the Asset Map on the Dashboard. The map displays the last known location of your Assets. You can pan and zoom that map in the dashboard or open it in full screen mode.

View Custom Places and Route Modifiers on a map

Account Manager now displays a map that shows the location of all of the Custom Places in a Custom Place Set, and Route Modifiers in a Route Modifier set. The map opens automatically when you: 

1. Select the Configure Fleet Settings tab > Custom Places, and click on a Custom Place Set to open the Edit Custom Place dialog. You can also click the View Places button in the Custom Places table.
2. Select the Configure Fleet Settings tab > Route Modifiers, and click on a Route Modifier Set to open the Edit Route Modifiers dialog. You can also click the View Modifiers button in the Route Modifiers table.

The maps can be opened in full-screen mode and also include a View in ContentTools button that opens the ContentTools web tool. While you can view Route Modifiers and Custom Places in Account Manager, you need user access to ContentTools to edit, delete or create them.  

UI display improvements 

Account Manager user interface is updated for better usability with each release. Improvements in this release include:

• Increased the size of scroll bars in data tables.
• Increased column widths in tables where the default value wasn't big enough to fully display the content.
• Added a trash can at the end of each row to delete a single user from the user access table.
• Updated the Weather page to improve the way overrides are set and displayed on the page. (Requires a CoPilot n add-on license for weather.)

Data display improvements

The data displayed in Account Manager is also improved with each release. Improvements in this release include:

• Updated the Last Active column for an Asset to show only the last communication date/time based on either login or last communication with Trimble Maps servers, whichever is more recent. (Requires a license for RouteReporter.)

Bug Fixes

• Removed the weeks of the year column from the calendar that is displayed when you filter search results by date.
• Fixed an issue where the vehicle extended details, like last communication, were not being loaded and the user would see an error.

Partners can now view selected diagnostics

Trimble Maps partners who use Account Manager on behalf of their customers can now view the following Diagnostics within Account Manager:

CoPilot - Request Action: This allows a partner administrator or support team member to initiate a request to an active CoPilot device to upload logs to help diagnose support issues. Previously, this request was only available for Trimble Maps internal support. Note: While partners can initiate the request, only the Trimble Maps support team can access the CoPilot logs. Partners still need to open a support ticket and work with our support department.

Audits: This feature allows a partner administrator or support team member to review an audit trail of usage in the Account Manager web tool as well as directly with our APIs. Audits include the user and date/time of the request.

Enhancements

Duplicate profiles

A new Duplicate button speeds the process of creating a new Vehicle Routing Profile based on an existing profile. Users can now easily take an existing profile, duplicate it, name it and then modify it.

Set users as Read Only

New Users can now be assigned a Read Only role in Account Manager. This role limits that user’s ability to make changes with assets, settings and users. However, it does not restrict current permissions for Configure Fleet Settings which is governed by their fleet role.

During the import process, if one or more vehicles or drivers fails, the user is now presented with options on how to resolve the import error and continue the import or cancel.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where imported assets might not display right away until the screen is refreshed.
• Fixed an issue with accounts that use our automatic asset syncing to assign/unassign licenses to assets.

The Dashboard helps ensure that your vehicle settings are up to date, and it can alert you to potential safety issues within the fleet.  

Set a threshold for weather alerts in CoPilot

A new Weather screen allows you to set the minimum weather-related Road Risk at which CoPilot issues weather alerts to drivers or to back-office personnel assigning routes to drivers. CoPilot ignores weather events below that level. (Requires CoPilot add-on license for weather.)
