Highlights

Route Publication Status and History

A new Published status indicator column is now available on the Map View, Dispatch, and View Routes pages, providing clear visibility into routes that have been manually published. Users can hover over the indicator to view the latest publish date and time, and use the new Show Publish History action to review publish activity details, including who performed the action and when it occurred. Additionally, a new Freeze Published Route(s) setting can automatically freeze routes after publication to help prevent unintended changes and maintain route integrity. (1569755)

Multi-Column Shipment Sorting

The Shipments grid now supports secondary sorting, allowing users to sort shipment data by two columns instead of one. Users can select both a primary and secondary sort order, with the secondary sort applied when multiple shipments share the same primary sort value. This enhancement makes large shipment lists easier to organize, improves visibility of related records, and helps users find shipments more quickly and efficiently. (1551882)

Route Replay Improvements

The Replay Route feature in Map View has been enhanced with additional playback speeds of up to 200x, making it easier to review long route executions. The replay timeline now includes stop markers and supports direct navigation to specific points by selecting a marker or moving the playback position. In addition, the playback controls have been refreshed with a cleaner, more user-friendly design, making route analysis faster and more intuitive. (1535890)

Route Properties

A new Route Properties option has been added to the route context menu, providing a centralized location to view and manage route assignments. Users can review and update Vehicles, Trailers, Drivers, and Launch Times from a single window, with assignment validation applied to ensure resource availability and assignment rules are met. This streamlined workflow reduces navigation and makes route management faster and more efficient. (1535862)

Planning Schedules

A new Planning Schedule feature allows users to automate multiple planning activities through a single scheduled workflow. Tasks such as applying fixed routes, running optimization, sequencing routes, exporting and/or publishing routes can be configured to run automatically in the correct order. This reduces manual effort, simplifies scheduling, and helps ensure planning processes are completed consistently and efficiently. (1534876)

Sort Options for Auto Sequence

The Auto Sequence Route action now includes additional sort options, giving users greater control over how stops are arranged when routes are created or updated. Users can choose Sort by Distance to minimize total travel distance or Sort by Time Window to sequence stops based on the time windows defined for each stop or shipment. This flexibility helps routes align more effectively with operational and service requirements. (1521955)

Hotel Stops for Sleep Breaks

Sleep break stops are now automatically replaced with the most appropriate Hotel depot location when available. The system selects a hotel based on the route's surrounding stops and inserts it as a real route stop with location details. If no suitable hotel is found, the original sleep break stop is retained. This enhancement improves route accuracy, travel calculations, and planning visibility. (1506080)

Customer Attributes in Properties Configuration

Customer Attributes can now be configured across Vehicles, Trailers, Compartments, Drivers, and Property Profiles, and are incorporated into optimization and planning processes. The system can also generate alerts when assignments do not meet configured customer attribute requirements. This enhancement improves resource matching, supports customer-specific planning, and provides greater flexibility in property configuration. (1506076)

Pinned Menu Options

Users can now pin frequently used menu options to a dedicated Quick Access area for faster navigation. Pinned shortcuts can be easily added, removed, and reordered, and are saved for each user across sessions. This enhancement reduces the number of clicks required to access common features and helps users work more efficiently. (1444487)

Modernized Configuration Pages

Several configuration pages have been modernized with updated layouts and workflows, making it easier to review, search, add, and manage configuration data. Enhancements apply to Hazardous Materials, Commodity Code Rules, Integration Profiles, and Regional Settings, as well as the Add and Edit workflows for Filters, Shipment Display, Icon Display, and Depot Display items. Regional Settings continues to be available from both the Configuration area and the User Profile. (1453130, 1453127, 1444454, 1444452, 1443493)


26.10.00

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Fixed an issue where users could be unable to access pages such as Map View and Delivery Days due to resource contention during concurrent shipment processing. The issue could prevent delivery day data from loading correctly, causing page load failures. System stability has been improved to ensure these pages load successfully. (1648003)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Resolved an issue where break stops could appear in the wrong sequence when applying Fixed Routes if a break stop was positioned before a service stop. Routes now follow the stop order defined in the fixed route configuration. (1647603)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Fixed an issue where users could receive an error when updating field data for routes from a previous day in View Routes. This issue commonly affected corrections to values entered incorrectly by drivers. Users can now successfully update field data for prior-day routes. (1645449)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Resolved an issue where unroute of two special stops sequentially from the same route could cause the Map View to reload unexpectedly during the second unroute operation. The issue was caused by a NullPointerException and has been corrected to ensure special stops can be unrouted without triggering a map refresh. (1643409)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Corrected an issue where generating a Performance Assessment with Transfer Orders present on the assessment date caused optimization to complete without assigning any shipments. Optimization now correctly assigns shipments when Transfer Orders are included in the assessment data. (1642336)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Fixed an issue where filters configured within a Performance Assessment were not being applied during assessment generation or optimization. The system now correctly respects the selected filter criteria, ensuring that only relevant data is included and assessment results are accurate. (1642329)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Corrected an issue in Map View where the address displayed when hovering over a vehicle (truck icon) did not consistently refresh as the vehicle moved. The vehicle's current address now updates correctly with its latest location, ensuring the displayed information remains accurate and synchronized with GPS updates. (1641776)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Resolved an issue where route optimization could apply incorrect Speed Factor when multiple vehicles shared the same Vehicle Profile but used different speed factor values. The optimization engine now receives the correct speed factor for each vehicle, ensuring more accurate drive time calculations and route optimization results. (1640813)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Corrected an issue where shipments assigned through Fixed Routes could continue to appear in the Unrouted tab even after being successfully assigned to a route. Shipment routing status and visibility are now synchronized correctly, ensuring routed shipments no longer appear as unrouted and providing a consistent view of shipment assignment status throughout the application.(1638681)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Resolved an issue in the Shipment Service where requests to create a new shipment could fail when the configured time zone was Brazil/East (America/Sao_Paulo). The error occurred during scheduledDay processing for dates affected by a daylight saving time transition. Shipment creation now handles this scenario correctly. (1637450)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Updated the Add/Edit Export page so that the "Exclude 3rd Party Shipments in Export" option is only displayed when FleetLink is enabled. The option is now hidden when the "Enable FleetLink" control setting is disabled. (1635217)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: The Assign Helpers option in the Fixed Routes route context menu now follows the related control setting. When the setting is disabled, the option is no longer displayed, ensuring consistent behavior across the application. (1635167)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Corrected an issue where the Height value displayed in the Vehicle and Trailer Capacity tabs did not match the value entered by the user. The height is now displayed consistently with the value shown on the Edit A Vehicle and Edit A Trailer pages. (1635164)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Several improvements were made to the Fixed Routes context menus to provide a more consistent user experience. Changes include updated menu item names, standardized capitalization, and adjustments to menu ordering. In addition, Create route has been renamed to Create Route when right-clicking an unrouted shipment on the map (1633964)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Resolved an issue where the Ungeocoded Depot message was displayed each time the date was changed in Map View. The message is now shown only when Map View is initially loaded, reducing unnecessary repeat notifications. (1631906)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Fixed an issue where users were redirected away from the page when attempting to create a depot with a depot number or name that already existed. Users now remain on the Add A Depot page, allowing them to review and correct the entered information. (1631904)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Corrected the Scheduling Board route context menu to use the updated Recalculate Route option. The menu item has also been moved to the parent context menu to align with the current application design and provide a consistent user experience. (1631098)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Improved visibility and readability issues on the Scheduling Board. Route text was always displayed in white regardless of the assigned route background color, and Hold Spots were too transparent for their stops and details to be read easily. Route font color now adjusts to the route background color, and Hold Spot transparency and text contrast have been improved. (1630962)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Fixed an issue where Set Category values assigned to stops, customers, and Hold Spots on the Scheduling Board were cleared when a delivery day was activated, so the category assignments had to be applied again by hand. Category values are now retained when a delivery day is activated. (1626984)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Resolved an issue where Route Attributes imported through a shipment file upload were not displayed in Map View. Entering the attribute value manually in Map View displayed it correctly but saved it as Route Field data rather than as a Route Attribute. Imported Route Attributes are now displayed in Map View and saved as Route Attributes. (1626600)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Corrected an issue where the Split Order window did not open when a shipment item's Custom value was empty (null), which prevented the split from being completed. The window now opens regardless of missing item information and displays the Item Name, the Item Description, or the Item ID when the Custom value is not set. (1623293)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Improved driver editing for Dispatcher Admins. Previously, when a driver's default location was outside the admin's location permissions, the system incorrectly required a new default location to be selected before changes could be saved. Admins can now update a driver's location access without needing to change the existing default location. (1623238)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Updated the Update My Account page so the Cancel and Save User buttons follow the same order used throughout the application, providing a more consistent and intuitive user experience. (1619748)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Corrected an issue where shipments created through the Shipment webservice displayed the organization's default map icon color instead of the configured color when the Icon Display configuration was based on Shipment Due Date and the due date was today or in the past. Shipments created this way now use the configured icon color immediately. (1619569)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Improved tooltip behavior when switching assessment selections from the map assessment menu. Previously, the tooltip from a previously selected option could remain visible after switching to another assessment. Tooltips now dismiss correctly when a new assessment is selected, preventing them from lingering on the map. (1613915)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Resolved an issue where route capacity was calculated incorrectly when an associated Vehicle or Trailer had capacity capabilities configured and the other did not. Quantity, weight, volume, and similar values displayed one less than expected. Route capacity is now calculated correctly, including when the route template's default resource capacity differs from the vehicle default. (1609235)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: The "None" trailer option is now available on the Add/Edit A Route page under Configuration > Data > Routes, allowing users to configure routes without selecting a trailer when no trailer other than the vehicle's default is required. (1609230)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: Trailer information is now shown in the Optimize Delivery Day, Select Route, and Select Vehicle windows, so the complete equipment configuration is visible when selecting routes and vehicles. Trailer details appear between Vehicle and Driver only when a trailer is assigned, and the displayed capacity reflects the combined Vehicle and Trailer configuration. (1609227)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: The Change Vehicle window now uses the full window width for the vehicle list. Keep Assigned Driver, Keep Assigned Trailer, and a new Show all attributes option appear in a row at the top, and each vehicle's configured properties appear below it with an expandable "+X more" indicator. In Change Route, the route metrics option has moved to the top row and is renamed Keep Existing Route Metrics. (1608399)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: Selection windows can now be maximized and restored to make better use of available screen space. This enhancement allows more records to be displayed at once, reducing scrolling and making it easier to find and select routes, vehicles, and drivers. The functionality is available in the Change Route, Change Vehicle, Change Driver, and Optimize Delivery Day selection windows. (1608344)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: Filter By and Search fields throughout the application now automatically receive focus when a window is opened, allowing users to begin typing immediately without first clicking in the field. This enhancement reduces clicks and streamlines common selection workflows. The update applies to the Change Route, Change Vehicle, Change Trailer, Change Driver, Assign Helpers, and Optimize Delivery Day windows. (1608317)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Resolved an issue where configured shipment attributes were not included in the On-demand Route XML sent to Descartes wGLN for certain locations and routes, although the affected locations appeared to be configured the same as locations that were working. Descartes wGLN did not receive the attribute values and could not pass them to the downstream host system. Configured shipment attributes are now included regardless of its visible in user interface configure setting. (1607175)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Shipment integration validation has been improved to ensure depot resolution is restricted to the selected location. When processing shipment JSON or XML, the system no longer defaults to the first depot in the organization or a depot from another location when a valid depot cannot be identified from the provided store information. Instead, an appropriate validation error is returned if no matching depot can be resolved within the selected location, ensuring consistent behavior across inbound shipment integrations. (1605397)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Vehicle Profile uploads now validate Vehicle Type values during processing. If an invalid Vehicle Type is provided, the system automatically defaults it to StraightTruck and continues processing. Additional error handling has been implemented to prevent invalid data from causing issues when viewing or editing Vehicle Profiles. (1605080)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: Improved the progress notification shown while routes are drawn in Map View. The notification now reads "Drawing route(s)... This may take a moment." instead of "No waypoints were returned by the server," which more accurately reflects the action in progress and sets clearer expectations for the user. (1602327)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: The customer route assignment notification in Map View has been enhanced when the "Advise if customer is already found assigned to another route" option is enabled. When multiple selected shipments belong to customers already assigned to existing routes, a single notification now displays all affected customers and their corresponding routes. Users can choose to move all applicable shipments to their customers' existing routes, keep all shipments on the route being created or assigned, or cancel the operation to review and process shipments individually. (1602078)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Resolved an issue in Map View where stop icons remained visible on the map when "Hide route elements on map until route is selected" was configured as "Both (Icon and Route Line)". Routes that were in progress and actively being executed by drivers displayed their stops even though no route was selected. Both the route line and its associated stop icons now remain hidden until a route is explicitly selected. (1602076)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Resolved an issue where publishing a route from Route Planner On-demand to Descartes wGLN generated an error and failed when the route contained multiple direct deliveries and a single direct pickup. Shipment sorting by route position raised an exception during the publish process. Routes containing this combination of direct deliveries and pickups now publish successfully. (1600914)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Fixed an issue in Map View where using Undo after moving a stop between routes could unintentionally remove route-level data from multiple active routes. In some cases, trailer assignments and manually entered Route Attribute values were cleared, and route distance and duration metrics were recalculated incorrectly. Undo now restores only the selected action and preserves route assignments, attributes, and route metrics. (1600912)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Fixed an issue where actual Service Time calculated from Descartes wGLN Complete and/or Leave command messages could be one minute less than expected. In certain cases, elapsed time was rounded down when Arrival and Complete timestamps included seconds, resulting in inaccurate service duration calculations. Service Time is now calculated correctly to provide accurate results. (1600910)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Generic Fixed Route Export now includes additional configurable columns that were previously unavailable. Users can now select and export Load Priority, Helpers (1-6), and Fixed Value Fields (1-5), providing consistency with the configurable column options available in the Generic Export format and allowing these fields to be included in Generic Fixed Route exports. (1599941)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Resolved an issue in the Fixed Routes module where selecting multiple stops on the map using Ctrl + Left Click and moving them from one route to another moved only transferred a single stop. All selected stops are now moved to the target route, and lasso selection is now available on the Fixed Routes map, making stop selection consistent with Map View. (1599905)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Fixed an issue in the Fixed Routes module where moving multiple stops between routes using Route Detail did not preserve the expected stop order. Stops could be added based on selection order rather than their route sequence, resulting in inconsistent ordering. In addition, route lines on the map could display incorrectly after the move until the page was refreshed. Stops are now added in the correct route order, consistent with Map View, and the route display updates correctly without requiring a refresh. (1599190)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Resolved an issue where sorting by the Load Priority column in Fixed Routes and Map View produced inconsistent results when routes contained blank priority values. In some cases, blank or null values caused the column to sort incorrectly, resulting in an unexpected order. Load Priority is now sorted consistently as a numeric field, regardless of whether blank values are present. (1599182)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Fixed an issue where cloning a Fixed Route Group did not copy the trailers assigned to routes in the original group. All other resources and configurations were copied as expected. Trailer assignments are now included when a Fixed Route Group is cloned. (1599167)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Corrected an issue where Dispatch displayed the exception alert "No activities scheduled at start depot. Route departs empty." even when the corresponding exception setting, "Violation if route has empty departure from start depot," was disabled in Map View. Exception handling is now consistent across both applications, and Dispatch suppresses this alert when the exception is disabled in Map View. (1598292)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Shipment Display color changes are now reflected immediately in Map View. When a Shipment Display color is updated, shipment line colors are automatically refreshed without requiring a page reload, providing behavior consistent with Icon Display updates. (1597921)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Resolved an issue where downloaded Power BI reports did not always reflect the filters applied within the report. When users modified filters directly in the embedded report and selected Filtered Values during report download, the exported report could include data outside the selected criteria. Downloaded reports now correctly honor active report filters, providing consistent results regardless of where filters are applied. (1597690)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Resolved an issue where a Fixed Service Time configured on a vehicle or trailer was not applied or recalculated for stops that already existed on a route when that resource was assigned or changed. Only stops added after the assignment received the correct service time, producing inconsistent stop and route timing calculations. The configured fixed service time is now applied to all applicable stops when a route's assigned resource is added or changed. (1597617)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: When applying Fixed Routes with Keep Existing Routes selected, newly generated routes did not receive automatically configured break stops if at least one route already existed for the delivery day. Break stops are now created and assigned correctly to all newly generated routes, ensuring consistent Fixed Route generation regardless of whether existing routes are retained. (1596995)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Resolved an issue where simultaneous update requests for the same shipment record, such as concurrent Shipment API calls, could be processed out of sequence and leave the record partially updated. Different areas of the application could then display different versions of the same record. Concurrent updates are now processed consistently, and the same data is displayed across all views. (1594183)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Corrected an issue where a Dispatch Preference associated with a Territory continued to reference that Territory after it was marked inactive. The Territories column displayed the error "The website cannot fulfill your request." and the preference did not load correctly. Inactive Territories are now removed from associated Dispatch Preferences, and preferences load and display as configured. (1592784)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: When shipments are optimized through Scheduled Optimization and transition to the Optimized Unrouted state, Shipment History now correctly records the Scheduled Optimization service account as the user that performed the action. Previously, these history entries incorrectly displayed Webservice (webservice), making it difficult to accurately identify the source of the optimization activity. (1591785)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Resolved an issue in the View All Images window in Map View where timestamps and stop numbers were displayed incorrectly. Image message times were converted using the server time zone instead of the time zone configured for the location, causing inconsistencies with arrival and departure times, and stop numbers did not account for the Ignore Unplanned/Special Stops Positions setting when it was enabled. Image message times now use the location time zone, and stop numbers reflect the configured setting. (1584608)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: Improved the performance and responsiveness of Apply Fixed Routes. Backend processing has been optimized to reduce database operations and streamline route creation, stop processing, and transaction management, and frontend processing has been optimized through request batching, more efficient map layer lookups, and reduced grid refresh operations. Large Fixed Route Groups now apply faster, with improved Map View responsiveness and fewer unresponsive page warnings during large updates. (1581736, 1581734)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Standardized shipment history entries when a shipment's depot association is changed. Previously, manual Change Depot Association actions displayed the depot name, while depot changes received through inbound integrations displayed depot custom information, resulting in inconsistent history records for the same business event. Shipment History now presents depot association changes consistently regardless of how the update is performed. (1580532)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Resolved an issue introduced in 26.07 where Order Search results in Order Management, Map View, and the Scheduling Board were no longer sorted by Delivery Date when an order had multiple instances on different delivery dates. Search results are again sorted by Delivery Date. (1577259)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: When applying a fixed route with a configured Start Depot Service Time in Map View, the launch time displayed in the Route Detail Table could differ from the launch time defined in the fixed route profile. The Route Detail Table now displays the correct launch time, ensuring route timing information is presented accurately and consistently. (1577175)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Shipment History now records when shipments are scheduled and unscheduled, providing a complete audit trail of these lifecycle changes. Previously, these actions were not captured in Shipment History, making it difficult for users to track when a shipment was assigned to or removed from a route. (1576956)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: When applying a Fixed Route Profile, configured vehicle assignments were not always applied correctly, causing some generated routes to be created with Unknown Vehicles despite valid vehicle assignments existing in the profile configuration. Vehicle assignments are now applied consistently during Fixed Route generation, ensuring routes are created with the expected vehicles. (1575172)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: When Complete replace on shipment is enabled in the Parser configuration, reprocessing the same upload file could incorrectly update the Quantity value of existing orders to 0, even when no changes had been made to the source data. Uploading the same file multiple times now preserves the original quantity values, ensuring existing orders are updated correctly. (1574779)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Users could encounter a system exception when attempting to reorder columns in Customer Management immediately after adding a new column using the Choose Columns feature. Column reordering now functions correctly after adding new columns, allowing users to customize their layouts without errors. (1574399)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Resolved an issue where the original shipment time window was not retained when an order was moved to a different location using Change > Depot Association. When the original time window did not exist in the destination location, the destination location's default time window was applied instead. The original shipment time window is now created in the destination location and retained on the order, and the default time window is used only when the order does not already have a shipment time window. (1574261)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: The Show blank country on Customer Search and Show blank state/province on Customer Search settings now work as expected in Fixed Routes > Add Customer > Customer Search. Previously, enabling these options added a blank selection to the dropdown lists rather than leaving the fields blank by default, resulting in behavior that differed from Customer Management > Customer Search. (1574206)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: The Fixed Route tab in Edit Customer now displays the correct column labels and formats vehicle and trailer information in a clear, user-friendly manner. Previously, some fields displayed backend values, making Fixed Route details difficult to interpret. (1574120)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Middle-clicking the Configuration menu item from the left navigation now opens the correct Configuration page. Previously, opening the link in a new tab using the mouse scroll wheel could direct users to the legacy Configuration page instead of the current version. (1573565)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: When a route or vehicle filter is applied before running an optimization, the optimization now uses only the filtered resources. Previously, routes outside the selected filter could be included in the solution, resulting in more routes being used than expected. (1572512)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: When a route containing a transfer order (Depot-to-Depot or Customer-to-Customer) included locked stops, using the Sequence action could incorrectly remove all assigned stops from the route. The sequencing process now preserves route assignments, ensuring shipments remain assigned after the route is sequenced. (1571876)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: Improved client-side performance in Map View. Page load time, memory usage, and the number of network requests have been reduced, making Map View more responsive, particularly in dispatch views containing large shipment volumes. (1571256)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Resolved an issue where optimization failed when a numeric value in the Optimization Profile, such as a driver break, contained leading or trailing spaces. The value was saved as entered and then caused a failure during validation or execution. Whitespace is now trimmed from numeric fields, and optimization runs as expected. (1570349)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: Route publication status is now visible throughout the application. A configurable Published status column can be added to the Map View, Dispatch, and View Routes pages to indicate whether a route has been manually published, and hovering over the indicator displays the most recent publish date and time. A new Show Publish History action lists publish events for a route, including who performed the action, what occurred, when it occurred, and where it was initiated from. A new Freeze Published Route(s) option under Map View > General Display Settings automatically freezes routes after they are published to prevent unintended modifications. (1569755)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Corrected an issue where the Track My Order page did not finish loading and remained on the Processing indicator for any valid order, preventing users from viewing order status, tracking details, and delivery information. The page now loads and displays tracking information as expected. (1569710)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: Real-time traffic data has been integrated into route planning and route calculations, enabling the system to consider current traffic conditions, road closures, accidents, and congestion when generating routes. This enhancement improves ETA accuracy, supports dynamic route recalculation, and provides more efficient route recommendations to help reduce travel time and improve operational efficiency. (1568632)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Resolved an issue where overlapping time window segments could be entered and saved in Map View > Edit Time Window, although Customer Management prevented the same overlap. The overlap validation applied in Customer Management is now enforced in Edit Time Window. (1568579)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Resolved an issue where a Report Schedule configured with a Weekly period type and a Start Date Offset of 0 could return data for the following week when generated later in the current week. Reports now correctly return data for the current scheduled week. (1568496)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Resolved an issue where the Bulk and Product Type fields were not displayed consistently across Shipment and Order Management pages. The fields were not shown on the View Shipment page for any order type, and were not available on the Edit Shipment and Add/Edit An Order pages for Transfer Orders, preventing users from viewing or maintaining this information. The fields are now available on these pages. (1555343)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Resolved display issues that could occur when viewing the application at reduced browser zoom levels. The end depot on the Map View page now displays correctly, and page header text is no longer clipped, improving the visual presentation and usability of the application across supported zoom settings. (1554797)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Resolved inconsistent handling of a duplicate Vehicle Key between the Add A Vehicle and Edit A Vehicle workflows. Adding a vehicle with a Vehicle Key that already existed did not create the vehicle, displayed no validation message, and discarded the entered data when the page refreshed. Editing a vehicle to an existing Vehicle Key displayed the correct error, but selecting Cancel afterward returned the user to an incorrect page instead of the Vehicles page view. A validation message is now displayed when a duplicate Vehicle Key is entered, inputted data is retained, and the Cancel action returns to correct Vehicles page. (1554345)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Corrected inconsistent handling of duplicate Trailer Keys in the Add A Trailer and Edit A Trailer pages. Adding a trailer with an existing Trailer Key displayed the duplicate key error on a page that rendered incorrectly, and editing a trailer to an existing Trailer Key redirected to an error page instead of displaying a validation message. A validation message is now displayed in both workflows, allowing the Trailer Key to be corrected. (1554338)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: Expanded administrative permissions to provide greater self-service capabilities within the application. Dispatcher administrators can now manage Commodity Codes, Customer Type Items, and Shipment Service Type Items directly, while a new Domains management feature allows client and dispatcher administrators to view and manage domain configurations. (1553673)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: The Shipments grid now supports multi-column sorting. You can select a primary sort column and direction, and a secondary sort column and direction, with the secondary sort applied when records share the same primary sort value. For example, a primary sort on Ship Date with a secondary sort on Shipment Number groups shipments by ship date and orders them by shipment number within each date. Existing single-column sorting remains available. (1551882)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Fixed an issue where selecting Print Grid on the Optimization Audit page rendered the grid inside a scrollable container instead of using the full width of the print window, producing multiple horizontal scrollbars. The grid now uses the full window width when printed. (1551858)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: Fixed Routes now support Hold Spots and selective order creation, giving users greater control over how stops are created when a fixed route is applied. A new stop-level Include in Auto Creation setting determines whether a stop generates an order, while the new Create Hold Spots from Fixed Route option allows stops to be created without an associated order or shipment. Hold Spots can be managed directly from Map View, automatically replaced when matching orders become available, and reviewed or removed prior to route publication. Additional validation has been added to the route publishing process to help ensure unresolved Hold Spots are addressed, and Fixed Route APIs and parsers have been enhanced to support the new functionality.

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: Enhanced driver activity tracking to provide a more accurate representation of active driver accounts. In addition to web application logins, the Last Login Date/Time is now updated when a driver successfully submits a Request Route or Timecard message. This helps prevent active drivers from being incorrectly identified as inactive during user inactivity evaluations. (1549469)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: The Change Depot Association, Change Starting Depot, and Change Ending Depot windows now provide a more consistent experience with the Route, Vehicle, and Driver assignment Edit Route screens. The currently assigned depot is now clearly identified and displayed using a consistent layout, making it easier for users to review and update depot assignments.

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Resolved an issue where assigning a shipment from the Shipment pane to a stop on a Frozen route or a Locked stop was prevented without any notification explaining why the action could not be completed. A notification message is now displayed when the assignment cannot be completed. (1545173)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Resolved an issue where the Complete Replace on Fixed Routes Upload setting was not correctly honoring location-specific configuration. When the setting is configured as Location Specific, Fixed Route uploads now apply the setting based on the selected location rather than the organization-level configuration. (1544642)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: Addition of two new stop-level fields, twOpenTime and twCloseTime, have been added to the OD Route XML sent to Descartes wGLN, alongside the existing openingWindow and closingWindow fields. The new fields provide the stop time windows in date-time format (yyyyMMddTHH:mm:ss), with the date derived from the stop date so multi-day routes carry the correct date. (1543938)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: The same customer can now be assigned multiple stops on a Fixed Route, with different stop sequences, and across multiple routes within the same route-building group. Route assignment and route building now consider shipment details such as Start Date, Due Date, Time Window, and Route Day rather than only the first occurrence of the customer. (1540487)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: Descartes administrators can now enable Service Time Predictions in Observation Mode for customers who do not have an active ML Service Predictions license. This enables organizations to evaluate service time prediction capabilities and review prediction results without activating full production use, helping users assess the feature's value before broader adoption. (1535901)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: Improvement to the Replay Route feature in Map View to provide faster navigation and a more streamlined playback experience.

This enhancement simplifies planning operations, reduces manual effort, and helps ensure planning activities are executed consistently and in the correct order. (1534876)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: Route publish validation is now configurable and consistent across Map View, Dispatch, and View Routes. A new Publish Routes with No Trailer setting joins the existing no-vehicle and no-driver settings, and publishing is blocked with a message identifying the missing requirements when a configured criterion is not met. All route publish options are now named Publish Route. (1533789)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: The Auto Sequence Route functionality now includes sort options, so you can control how stops are arranged when routes are created or updated. Sort by Distance arranges stops to minimize the total distance traveled, and Sort by Time Window arranges stops based on the time windows specified for each stop or shipment. (1521955)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: Addition of new Is Customer Assigned column to the Unrouted and All Shipments displays. This column indicates whether a customer already has a shipment assigned to a route, providing quick visibility into customer routing status. The column also supports sorting, making it easier to organize and review shipments based on assignment status. (1519560)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: The dispatcher_admin and dispatcher roles can now lock and unlock a customer's geocode from the Edit Customer page in Customer Management. Previously, the Lock Geocode action was visible to these roles but had no effect. The action now functions as expected, reflects the current locked or unlocked state, and is hidden or disabled for users without the required permissions. (1518461)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Fixed issues where the Hide Frozen Route setting was not applied consistently. Routes that were changed to Frozen while the setting was enabled could remain visible until the setting was toggled, and hidden frozen routes could reappear during shipment navigation. Frozen routes are now hidden immediately when frozen and remain hidden regardless of shipment selection or navigation. (1515286)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: The General Display settings in Map View have been reorganized so each setting sits on the tab that matches its purpose. Hide route elements on map until route is selected has moved to the ROUTE tab, and the two map recentering settings and Show turn-by-turn directions instead of straight lines on map have moved to the MAP tab. (1514231)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: Improved Map View shipment grids to save user-defined sorting preferences for the Unrouted and All Shipments tabs.

(1514126)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: Missing Route Templates are now created automatically during a Fixed Route import. Routes referenced in the import file that do not already exist in the application are created as Route Templates, and the imported data is associated with them. Previously those records were skipped unless the templates were created manually beforehand. (1507217)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: The Configuration APIs now support bulk retrieval of data by location. A single request can return all configured entities associated with a specific and specified location, such as Routes, Vehicles, and Users, instead of querying each entity type separately. (1506086)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: System generated Sleep break stops can now be replaced with location-specific Hotel stops drawn from depot configuration. When a Sleep break is detected, the system will select the hotel-type depot closest to the midpoint between the previous and next stops and converts the break into a routable stop with a physical location and coordinates. If no suitable hotel depot is available, the original Sleep stop is retained. (1506080)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: Customer Attributes can now be configured in Properties configuration alongside Customer Type Items and Shipment Attributes. They can be applied to Vehicles, Trailers, Compartments, Drivers, and Property Profiles, and are now considered by the optimization engine during planning. Customer Attributes can also be used to generate alerts when assignments do not meet configured attribute requirements, providing greater flexibility and visibility in resource planning and assignment. (1506076)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: For user accounts that are provisioned and managed externally through MDLP, location access settings are now read-only within the application. Since these settings are controlled by the authentication provider, they can no longer be modified from the user profile. Default Location and Depot Access Configuration remain editable, while system-managed fields are clearly identified to provide a more consistent and intuitive user experience. (1506067)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: A new JSON-based Fixed Routes API supports full lifecycle management of fixed routes. Fixed routes can be created with their required attributes, updated to reflect operational changes, deleted, and a query endpoint returns all active fixed routes configured for a given location so downstream systems can stay synchronized. (1506057)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: Improved the visual display of frozen routes so selected routes are easier to identify. Frozen routes now provide clearer visual feedback when selected in the Routes panel, helping users quickly recognize the active route and reducing confusion during route management. (1504772)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: Dispatch users can now unlock the geocode for stops marked Geocode Corrected (Locked) directly from Map View when the feature is enabled. Previously, geocodes could only be unlocked through Customer Management. This enhancement streamlines geocode maintenance and enables faster resolution of location issues during dispatch operations. (1503790)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: The Vehicles page now displays key configuration details directly on each vehicle card. Information such as Vehicle Profile and Compartment Profile is now visible at a glance, reducing the need to open individual vehicle records and making it easier to review and validate vehicle configurations. (1492306)

๐ŸŸฉ Resolved Issue: Resolved an issue where invalid Time Window segments could be saved without validation. Segments that overlap existing time windows or have a To Time earlier than the From Time are now rejected, and users are presented with a clear validation message before the record can be saved. This validation applies to both Customer Management and Order Management, helping maintain accurate scheduling data and improving data integrity. (1489865, 1489863)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: Cost Profiles can now be assigned to Trailers, in addition to Vehicles, Drivers, and Helpers. A Cost Profile can be selected on the Add A Trailer and Edit A Trailer pages, and a new Trailer Cost column is available in both route views and export configurations. Total Cost calculations now include trailer costs, providing a more complete view of route operating expenses. (1481401)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: The Configure Hazardous Materials and Configure Commodity Code Rules pages have been enhanced with an updated user interface that improves usability, efficiency, and visual clarity.

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: Menu options can now be pinned for quick access. A Pin icon next to each menu option allows users to add frequently used items to a dedicated Quick Access area in the sidebar, where shortcuts can be reordered or removed as needed. Pinned items are saved per user across sessions, providing faster access to commonly used features and reducing navigation time. (1444487)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: The Integration Profiles page has been updated using a more modern user interface, providing a cleaner and more intuitive experience for managing integrations. The updated layout improves navigation, enhances visibility of profile information, and streamlines the process of creating and editing integration profiles. (1444454)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: The Filters, Shipment Display, Icon Display, and Depot Display configuration pages have been redesigned with a modern, streamlined user interface.

Regional Settings are now available from both the Configuration area and the User Profile, ensuring users can access and manage the same settings from either location. (1443493)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: Improvement to Export Configuration to support the new Stop Total Cost and Stop Planned Total Cost fields. These fields can be included in exports to provide greater visibility into cost allocation at the individual stop level, helping users analyze route and operational costs more effectively. (1441650)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: Improved the Fixed Value per Stop service time basis logic to ensure that when a planned service time is provided in a route upload file, that value is always used for the stop. Previously, service times could be recalculated based on the number of shipments at a stop, resulting in incorrect service times. (1441649)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: GPS generated unplanned stops can now only be created after a route has officially started, based on the Arrived or Completed status of the route's start depot stop. This enhancement helps improve route accuracy and prevents unplanned stops from being created before route execution begins. (1430351)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: Improved the Customer Active State display to make it easier to identify whether a customer is active or inactive. The status is now displayed prominently in the page header, with clear visual indicators and a simplified toggle for managing the active state. This improvement makes customer maintenance more intuitive and helps reduce configuration errors. (1347127)

๐ŸŸช Enhancement: The Driver-Dispatch Comments feature and its associated components has been removed from the application. As it was discontinued and is no longer part of current workflows. (1335885)
