REDESIGNED TRACKING SCREEN

We redesigned the Tracking screen, providing significant improvements. You can find the new page at Tracking >> Tracking Beta. It is in beta, so you can try out our new implementation and give feedback, but still have access to our previous Tracking screen (located at Tracking >> Tracking). This is what you’ll see on the new-and-improved screen:

• We improved the page’s performance, including faster widgets and optimized asset clustering.
• We added pagination controls at the bottom of the grid. You will now be able to choose the number of assets you want the grid to show per page (5, 15, or 25) and use the page number field to quickly jump to a certain page of results. You also can use the and  controls to move to the next or preceding page, respectively.
• We reworked the Find Nearby feature as follows:
  • The controls now open in a separate dialog box on the map (instead of in the Asset Details pane), even if Find Nearby was launched from the Asset Details pane. The found assets will appear in a list within that box.
  • The chosen distance (such as within 5 miles of the original asset) will be displayed on the map as a circle filled with diagonal lines so that you can visualize the area.
      
  • If you select one of the found nearby assets in the list, it will be highlighted, and its label alone will be displayed on the map. (If other assets are in the same area, their names will be hidden.)
• We pulled the History map layer out of the Map Layers widget and gave it its own widget, now called Live History. You can open this using the  icon on the map toolbar.
    
  You can search for specific assets using the Select Asset(s) feature. If you select an asset in the list of matches, the map will zoom to its location. By default, any assets you didn’t select will be hidden from view, but you can display them as well by deselecting Hide Non-selected Asset(s).
   
  In addition, we changed the limit of number of assets you can view with the widget from 40 to 120.
• We removed Huge Fleet mode, which prevented automatic refresh and the ability to turn off clustering if you were viewing over 5,000 assets.
• We combined the two map toolbars into one and placed it at the top right, displayed horizontally (instead of the two vertical ones in some views). We also removed the space between the toolbar icons.
• We changed the default map style from the Light Gray Canvas basemap to the OpenStreetMap one, which provides more local details and has a more traditional map color-coding for waterways, highways, forests, and railroads. If you have previously selected a map view or configured one, you will still see that.

MADE THE DASHBOARDS AVAILABLE TO ALL USER ROLES

We made the Dashboards available to all users (by adding their visibility to all the iOn roles).

PERSISTING YOUR REPORT CATEGORY STATE

We are now persisting your Analytics & Reports screen’s current state for the categories pane, both throughout your user session and across user sessions. So if you navigate to a tab in the left pane (such as Special) and expand a report category (such as Engine Diagnostic), when you log out and back in again, you’ll see the same tab and expanded category view you last chose.

ADDED AN EXPLANATORY MESSAGE FOR NEW ACCOUNTS ACCESSING THE REPORTING ENGINE

For users who are running a report for the first time, we added a message explaining that iOn is setting up their account for our reporting engine. This takes longer when first using the Analytics & Reports screen, but later logins will be faster.

MADE REPORT NAMES CONSISTENT

Previously, we cleaned up the naming of the reports to make them consistently named with one of four endings (Summary, Detail, History, and Graph); for this release, we fixed the last few report names that didn’t fit that naming scheme, plus removed the unnecessary “Reports” from some of the category headings.
