Highlights

24.01.01

🟩 Resolved Issue: Users occasionally encountered a persistent spinning icon in the Shipments quadrant of the Map View page, indicating that shipments were not loading as expected. This problem prevented users from successfully viewing shipment details and performing routing-related operations. (1011333)

🟩 Resolved Issue: The application experienced an issue where it incorrectly generated and published a route update to DescarteswGLN each time a driver arrived at a stop during the execution of the route. (1009741)

🟩 Resolved Issue: Following file import into the application, all shipments were assigned an incorrect quantity value of 1. This issue occurred when the user imported two upload files through the application's user interface, and the second file contained the intended quantity values to use. (1008125)

🟩 Resolved Issue: The Map View module failed to fully load and display the expected details across the quadrants. This problem occurred when users executed a delivery day optimization, and its final results were processed, specifically for users associated with a delivery company domain in their profile. (998843)

🟩 Resolved Issue: Following a recent update to a custom Sales and Merchandising respective report, an issue caused the 'Total Hours Worked' calculated value to occasionally output an inaccurately high figure. (987358)

24.01

🟩 Resolved Issue: The Show Compartment Information generated window did not correctly display the utilized capacity-related data to users when compared to shipment information, which did display the correct data. This occurred when the respective capacity (i.e., quantity) was not enabled and utilized as part of the sequencer/optimizer profile configured settings, and shipments were assigned product types. (985228)

🟩 Resolved Issue: An incorrect 'Compartment Capacity Exceeded' alert notification was being generated and displayed within the application user interface for bulk order specified shipments, where volume capacity value is set as 0 and weight capacity value greater than 0 and both have been enabled and utilized as part of sequencer/optimizer profile configured settings. (985196)

🟩 Resolved Issue: Routes were not displaying the 'Route Completed' status as expected after a driver completed their route and the end-of-trip action. This problem arose when the 'End Depot' stop service time was calculated as negative, preventing the status from being correctly updated to 'Route Completed,' which requires a service time greater than or equal to zero. (985082)

🟪 Enhancement: The country 'Malaysia' and its subdivisions have been included in the system. (984894)

🟩 Resolved Issue: When displaying frozen routes through the 'Show' option with the 'Show turn-by-turn' setting activated, special stop types (such as breaks, lunch, sleep, etc.) were incorrectly displayed on the map in the Map View. (984444)

🟩 Resolved Issue: Although the 'Hide Unrouted Shipments' option from the map context menu hid unrouted shipments correctly, selected stops from the route detail were not displayed on the map as expected. (983899)

🟩 Resolved Issue: In the Generated Reports history section, clicking the 'Show more' function incorrectly reverted specified date results to default values (i.e., current date). The issue has been corrected, and when 'Show more' is clicked, the date values remain as set by the user. (981788)

🟩 Resolved Issue: Stops for the same customer were not merging as expected after scheduled optimization. Additionally, manual optimization would incorrectly merge planned separate stops (such as those assigned by shipment) despite being on a route marked as frozen. (980091)

🟩 Resolved Issue: There was an issue in the application where Item Payment information was missing for some items for shipments created via the Shipment Webservice. This issue occurred when a shipment request containing multiple items was made; the item payment attribute was recorded only for the first item, not for the rest. (979453)

🟩 Resolved Issue: The On-demand application failed to generate a delivery company exception alert. This issue occurred when a shipment was assigned to a route, vehicle, or driver, each associated with different delivery companies. The problem arose due to the shipment's delivery company being set using a routing preference/depot bin, which was not correctly evaluated for delivery company comparison. This issue has now been resolved, ensuring the delivery company is correctly assessed and will report an exception alert for such cases. (976380)

🟩 Resolved Issue: The Master Routes & Territories > Master Routes section displayed incorrect route level columns for selection, not aligning with the section's data. This issue has been resolved, ensuring the available columns now correctly include start time, stops, and starting and ending depots as expected. (975800)

🟩 Resolved Issue: When a vehicle had compartments configured, all specified as bulk, and the sequencer profile had 'Single Customer in Compartment' activated, the route sequencing action incorrectly failed. Users encountered an error message, and compartment data was missing. (973728)

🟩 Resolved Issue: An incorrect capacity exception alert was displayed in MapView for bulk shipment types that have no weight value (set as 0). This issue occurred particularly in cases where weight was not a factor in optimization and/or route calculation. (973450)

🟩 Resolved Issue: The following issues have been identified and addressed on the Scheduling Board page. These issues affected the usability of the system when multiple shipments were selected and certain features/functions were executed (972067):

• Change Depot Association: Users could not execute options in the generated window for depot association changes. The dropdown and related buttons were non-functional, except for the close (X) button.

• Change Delivery Company: Similar to the depot association issue, users could not use the dropdown and buttons in the window to change the delivery company.

• Edit Order: The context menu option for 'Edit Order' was incorrectly available when multiple shipments were selected, leading to a blank window generated that could not be closed without refreshing the page.

🟩 Resolved Issue: The Route Detail's 'Compartment' column tooltip failed to display complete information for stops containing multiple compartments' assignments. (971586)

🟪 Enhancement: A new 'LocationId' field has been added to the wireless Geocode command message sent from Descartes wGLN onto the On-demand application. An improved command logic now allows users to provide new latitude and longitude values for updating a customer's geocode-related information. (970600)

🟩 Resolved Issue: Descartes administrators, such as support and professional services roles, were unable to create and/or modify an 'integration' role and/or a user account on the Configuration > Users > Add/Edit A User page when logged into the application via their Descartes account. (970454)

🟩 Resolved Issue: Users were unable to change a delivery date through the 'Calendar Date' selection on the Map View page. This issue occurred when the user's 'Short Date Format' setting differed from the location and/or organization's regional setting configured value. (968292)

🟩 Resolved Issue: User record respective information was incorrectly updated from an MDLP profile, causing special characters to potentially become corrupted when On-demand is the authenticating service. (968290)

🟩 Resolved Issue: An issue caused the On-demand application to sync incorrect location data for vehicles to Descartes wGLN during file uploads. Specifically, when vehicle records were uploaded manually through the VehicleParser, the system erroneously assigned the user's current location instead of the actual vehicle location provided in the uploaded file. Consequently, vehicles uploaded under 'Location A' were mistakenly registered under 'Location A' in wGLN despite different specified locations in the file. (967938)

🟩 Resolved Issue: Users experienced a lack of automatic refresh on the Scheduling Board page after making dispatch-related changes. This affected the following actions (965634):

• After drag-and-drop of a stop to a new position, the board did not automatically refresh to display the change despite notifications indicating otherwise.

• The newly added 'Hold Spots' were not visible on the board without a manual page refresh.

🟩 Resolved Issue: Users were unable to update the service time value for a 'HoldSpot' from within the Scheduling Board page. The inputted value was not retained after execution of the 'Update' button, where the original value persisted in the Stop Details window. Service time for Hold Spots can now be updated and saved correctly on the Scheduling Board. (965228)

🟩 Resolved Issue: An issue existed where the 'Order No' stop level column would display incorrect information. This occurred when the initially assigned shipment, which set the column data, was removed from route detail due to item reconciliation, which removed the associated delivery leg stop, marking it as an exception. (964237)

🟩 Resolved Issue: The application's location selection list did not sort options alphabetically when only a single region was defined and a new location was added. (963899)

🟩 Resolved Issue: The 'Quantity' fields from 1 to 10 did not show route-level summarization of data exported out of the application. These fields will now display a summary consistent with other standard fields like quantity, volume, weight, and dimensions when configured for an export at the route level. (963656)

Enhancement: Now, when an external user attempts to access the original On-demand Login page due to it being saved in their browser history or favorites, they will be automatically redirected to the MDLP page, enforcing enhanced security and directing users to the appropriate access point. (962895)

🟩 Resolved Issue: When users created a new filter, the new entry was not correctly displayed in the MapView or the Scheduling Board pages after changing the settings from 'Organization' to 'Location' and/or user-level defaults. The issue has been fixed, and filters are now visible upon creation. (961860)

🟩 Resolved Issue: The incorrect user was logged and displayed in the Shipment History after a delivery date change action was executed from within the application. Specifically, changes made to a shipment delivery date in conjunction with the utilization of the trigger feature were incorrectly logged under the 'scheduledtask' user. (959825)

🟩 Resolved Issue: In the Configuration > Depot Groups section of the application, administrative users (such as 'client_admin' and 'dispatcher_admin') could not use the 'Cancel' option on the Add/Edit A Depot Group page as expected. Administrative users can now successfully execute the Cancel option in this section. (958557)

🟩 Resolved Issue: The word "compartment" on the Configuration > Compartment Profiles > Edit A Compartment page was incorrectly spelled. (957774)

🟩 Resolved Issue: In certain scenarios, dispatch users encountered an 'Error not delivered' alert when attempting to send a message to drivers through the Messages feature in the Map View and/or Scheduling Board. Mobile messages can now be successfully sent from dispatch to drivers as expected. (957258)

🟩 Resolved Issue: In Order Management, the generated Customer list option(s) remained visible incorrectly when the user navigated to the next field using the TAB key, obstructing the ability to input data. (956066)

🟩 Resolved Issue: Users could not use the 'Use Defaults' option for the Icon and Depot Display configuration in Map View when user-specific settings were active. The issue was caused by the Save button not being enabled, preventing them from saving the new configuration settings. (956019)

🟩 Resolved Issue: An issue occurred where the transmission of order data onto the Descartes Customer Engagement Platform Order API was not batched as expected when shipments were created via the Roadshow import parser in the On-demand application. (955979)

🟩 Resolved Issue: Shipment delivery legs were incorrectly displayed before pickup legs in the Shipments quadrant (UNROUTED, ALL SHIPMENTS) in Map View. This issue occurred when the routes/shipments were created using the Roadshow parser. The shipment place sequence now correctly displays the pickup leg first. (955798)

🟩 Resolved Issue: On the Configuration> Parameters page, the tooltips generated and displayed when users hovered over any of the options were out of alignment if the user happened to scroll down on the page first. (955742)

🟪 Enhancement: On-demand's method for email format validation now ensures email addresses are well-formed and valid, following the userpart@domain.tId format standards. Specifically, this update focused on altering the top-level domain (TLD) requirements and removing the maximum number of characters limit previously imposed. (955579)

🟩 Resolved Issue: Time windows that spanned across midnight were being incorrectly evaluated when used in conjunction with Shipment Start/Due Date, especially when a shipment's time window should have been associated with the previous day but extended into the current delivery day. (949559)

🟩 Resolved Issue: The count for the number of stops in Map View's selected summary was incorrectly removed from the display when a user selected approximately 100 stops/shipments. (947022)

🟪 Enhancement: The On-demand application has been enhanced to migrate and support the latest service and version of HERE Web (display only) Maps (additional subscription). (946931)

New Functionalities include:

• Newly added map-style views are available for display selection (i.e., 'light' and 'night' respective views)

• Ability to select and show an additional data layer for Traffic and Vehicle Restrictions, when applicable and enabled based on service (additional) subscription

🟩 Resolved Issue: When a user unrouted a route containing numerous stops/shipments from the Scheduling Board, the generated notification messages were not consolidated, unlike in Map View; each shipment from the same route generated a separate message. Notification messages are now merged when multiple stops/shipments are unrouted. (946875)

🟩 Resolved Issue: The application incorrectly generated and displayed a notification message on dispatch action advising that the same customer had been found on another route. This issue occurred when the 'Enable merge option when shipment's customer is already assigned to another route' feature was activated, specifically when a user attempted to assign a shipment to a single and only route where shipments would automatically merge. (946738)

🟪 Enhancement: On-demand has been updated to add support and new alert notifications at route and stop levels for compartment exceptions when utilizing bulk functionality. Specifically, in scenarios where multiple shipments are manually assigned to a route and placed within the same compartment. (945237)

🟪 Enhancement: The On-demand application has been enhanced to support a new feature for optimizing route start times. This update introduces dynamic configuration options for specifying the best start time of a route, both on the Add/Edit A Route page and within the 'Sequencer/Optimizer' profile called 'Scheduling Logic.' The new options in the dropdown for route configuration include (945222):

• None: Uses current logic for start time specification (Default value).

• Fastest: Adjusts start time for the shortest active route duration.

• Earliest: Routes start at the earliest possible time for a driver.

• Latest: Routes begin at the latest possible start time.

• Smart Earliest: The earliest start time with minimal late arrivals, considering broken constraints.

• Least Waiting Earliest: The earliest start time with the least waiting time.

• Least Waiting Latest: The latest start time with the least waiting time.

🟪 Enhancement: Changes have been made to the naming convention for specific options on the Configuration page (942079):

• 'Update Organization Info' has been renamed to 'Organization Info.'

• 'Upload Report Configuration' has been renamed to 'Report Configuration.'

🟪 Enhancement: Improvements have been made to the Sales and Merchandising module of the On-demand application, specifically targeting the setup and configuration of the following options (942056):

• Merchandiser Groups:

  • The deletion confirmation prompt has been updated for clarity. Previously, it only asked, "Are you sure?". Now, it provides more detailed information.

  • A new configuration setting has been added for the setting of the Merchandiser Group number.

• Sales Territories:

  • Confirmation prompts have been added to all configurable elements on the page that are eligible for deletion, enhancing user confirmation processes.

🟩 Resolved Issue: A new link added for 'Exports' allows users to navigate back to the View Exports page from the various Export configuration pages, such as the Add/Edit Export or the Configure Export pages. (941137)

🟪 Enhancement: The Master Routes module of the On-demand application has been enhanced by adding the capability to generate and export data. This new feature aligns with similar functionality available in Map View and includes the following updates (940401):

• New Export Type: A new export type named 'Generic Master Route' has been included.

• Report Capability: The export can now be used as a report. There are options to generate reports for a specific master route group and an individual route.

• Output Selection Limitations: The 'Output Selection' options have been tailored to align with the data supported by master routes, such as stops.

• Export Options in Context Menu: 'Export' options have been added to the context menu in both the MASTER ROUTE and Map quadrants, mirroring similar options available in Map View.

🟪 Enhancement: The following configuration settings have been removed from the Configuration > Parameters > Sequencing / Optimization page as they are no longer in use (940228):

• 'Optimization Engine'

• 'Optimizer Arrival Time Selection'

🟪 Enhancement: An enhancement has been made to the On-demand application, extending the restriction on dispatching ungeocoded customer shipments to the Deliveries > Dispatch module. This feature is now consistent with the functionality already in place on both Map View and SchedulingBoard pages. The application now enforces the geocoding of customers and restricts the manual assignment of customer shipments to a route until they have a valid geocode. (939749)

🟪 Enhancement: The On-demand application has been expanded to include cost profiling for helper users. Previously, the application only supported cost profiling for drivers and vehicles, but not for helpers. This enhancement allows for setting variable pay rates for helpers based on route time, distance, and/or the number of stops. (937858)

Key updates include:

• New Helper Cost Column: Added to the list of selectable columns at the route level.

• Total Cost Column Update: Revised to include the new Helper Cost.

• Helper Cost column in Exports: New column included in the Add/Edit configuration pages for exports.

• Assign Cost Profile Page Rework: Updated to align with dispatch preferences.

• New Configuration Parameter: 'Show Cost Profile for Helper' added to the Display section.

• Cost Profile on Add/Edit A User Page: New display and configuration ability for the helper user role.

🟩 Resolved Issue: Location values were not being sorted alphabetically as expected in various listings. This problem mainly occurred with values that were a mix of lower- and upper-case characters. (934889)

The affected pages included:

• Location selection list found on the Home, Map View, and Scheduling Board pages.

• Diagnostics > Mass Delivery Day Deletion

• Diagnostics > Stats

• Diagnostics > Monitoring

• Configuration > View Locations

• Configuration > Users > Add/Edit A User

• Configuration > Configure Event Triggers

• Configuration > Regions > Add/Edit A Region

• Configuration > Export of Configuration

• Configuration > Edit Organization

🟪 Enhancement: Modifications have been made to the 'Choose columns' configuration change confirmation notification within the On-demand application. The changes focus on refining the workflow and the wording of the confirmation prompts (931251):

• User Option Confirmation: When the User option is selected and a save is performed, the confirmation prompt will now specifically ask, "Are you sure you want to save?" This is to confirm the user's action of saving their individual settings.

• Location/Organization Option Confirmation: For saves performed under the 'Location' or 'Organization' options, the confirmation prompt has been updated to "Are you sure you want to save? Please be advised that the changes made to the Organization and/or Location settings will apply to all associated users configured view as well."

🟩 Resolved Issue: When a user's role is changed from 'merchandiser' or 'sales_rep' to any other role, the system will now automatically review and remove the respective user from any associated sales territories' assignments. (931221)

🟩 Resolved Issue: Previously, the Undo/Redo buttons were unavailable (grayed out) when working on the current active delivery day, especially during operations where some routes were already in progress. The application has been updated to enable the use of Undo/Redo buttons for routes that have not been dispatched to the driver. This allows for operations on these routes to be adjusted, regardless of the status of other routes in execution. (930948)

🟪 Enhancement: The Export configuration page has been improved for easier review and modification of exports/reports. Users can now view all active configured fields at once, add new fields conveniently, and rearrange fields utilizing the drag-and-drop method, streamlining the overall configuration process. (930942)

🟩 Resolved Issue: Simultaneous edits to field data configuration during the processing of a shipment file led to failures and some shipments not being created as expected. (930803)

🟩 Resolved Issue: Exports were not being correctly generated and sent to their configured endpoint when associated with a trigger (such as delivery date change or shipment deletion), and the integration profile was configured to use an FTP type. (930628)

🟩 Resolved Issue: There was a display issue where routes were not appearing in alphabetical order on various pages (such as Dispatch, View Routes, Map View, etc.), particularly for user accounts with the 'Select Depot?' option enabled and specified. (924272)

🟪 Enhancement: A change has been implemented in the On-demand application regarding calculating and displaying distance-related columns for both on-screen display and data export. The modifications are aimed at providing options for displaying incremental/per-stop values and introducing a new accumulative column option. (922805)

Key changes include:

• GPS Distance and Stop GPS Distance: The calculations for the 'GPS Distance' (display) and 'Stop GPS Distance' (export) columns have been changed from accumulative to incremental.

• Stop Original Planned Distance: The export column calculation has been changed to be incremental.

• Stop Distance: The export column calculation is now incremental.

• New Configurable Options:

  • Addition of a new column selection option titled 'Accumulative GPS Distance' for all pages within the application (such as Map View, Dispatch, View Route Details, etc.).

  • A new configurable option on the Configure Export page called 'Stop Accumulative GPS Distance.'

🟩 Resolved Issue: The 'Order No' column at the stop level failed to display values correctly. This issue occurred when a user split an order from a stop with multiple orders into a new stop on the route. (921909)

🟩 Resolved Issue: An additional scroll bar was incorrectly displayed when users navigated to the end of the board on the Scheduling Board page. This especially occurs when multi-day routes are present, and the view is set to either 'Week' or 'Work Week.' (920897)

🟪 Enhancement: New attribute options have been added to the 'Choose Columns' configuration selection lists in Map View for the following options: (920065)

For Stops Columns:

• Item Custom

• Item Custom 2

• Item Name

For Stop Details Columns:

• Item Name

• Start Date

• Due Date

🟪 Enhancement: The On-demand application's Messages feature has been enhanced to integrate and function in conjunction with Dispatch Preferences. Now, only routes filtered by Dispatch Preferences will be displayed in the Messages window when a dispatch preference profile with selected routes is used. (918747)

🟪 Enhancement: The Merchandiser module process of editing employee timecard data by administrators or managers has been enhanced. Now, when a timecard-related entry originally logged by an employee is modified, a mandatory requirement is triggered for the editor to provide a reason for the change from a predetermined list of options. Additionally, a new custom 'Timecard Edit' report has been created. This report captures detailed information about the modifications made, including original and updated values, similar to what is displayed in the On-demand user interface when hovering over a cell. (918159)

🟪 Enhancement: The Order Management feature within the Map View and Scheduling Board pages has been enhanced. (913529)

Key updates include:

• A new 'Order Management' icon has been added to the header row.

• The 'Add Order' option in the map context menu has been relocated under the new 'Order Management' icon in the header row.

• Users now have the ability to search for orders directly within the routing modules (Map View and Scheduling Board), and an additional executable option ('Search Order') has been included under the new 'Order Management' icon.

🟪 Enhancement: Map View's SELECTED STOPS tab has been enhanced to allow users the ability to trigger context menu options directly from the shipment line entry. Previously, users had to search for orders in the ALL SHIPMENTS tab or search and select an option in the SEARCHRESULTS tab to perform actions like 'Edit Order.' (911254)

🟪 Enhancement: The Order Management > Search feature has undergone significant enhancements to improve its usability and functionality. (910657)

Key improvements include:

• The search field input page's appearance has been upgraded to align with other pages (e.g., Add/Edit Order).

• Automatic lookup is now enabled for customer search input fields, mirroring the Add/Edit Order page's functionality.

• Search criteria are now visible at the top of the page for easy reference.

• Results are now displayed in a single table, sorted by delivery date, instead of being categorized into Past and Future Orders.

• Resolved an issue where columns in search results were not updated correctly. Users previously needed to perform a new search to see updated column configurations.

• New Functionalities:

  • Ability to clear search field inputs and submit a new query.

  • Configuration options for columns and export and print capabilities have been added to the search results table, similar to the ones found on the View Order page table.

  • Export and print grid settings are now configurable for on-page visibility.

🟩 Resolved Issue: When a user searched for a customer account and attempted to update the configured columns for display on the Customer Management>Geocode page, the changes were not immediately reflected in the respective tab. Users had to perform a new search, manually refresh the page, or exit and re-enter the page to see the updated columns. (906601)

🟩 Resolved Issue: When users attempted to merge two routes via drag-and-drop on the Scheduling Board, the system lacked the user confirmation prompts that are present in Map View for the same action. This issue has been addressed by adding the necessary confirmation prompts to the Scheduling Board. These prompts are similar to those in the Map View and include a follow-up confirmation related to enabling the Trips feature. (905087)

🟪 Enhancement: A new option, 'DeleteRegion,' has been added to the Configuration > Regions > Edit A Region page. This feature allows administrative users the ability to delete a region entry, provided that the region is not actively assigned to any locations. (904671)

🟪 Enhancement: A new option called 'Find Objects' has been added to the Diagnostics menu to improve administrative users' ability to easily locate objects within the system. This feature consolidates various 'objects that can be found' respective options into a single sub-context menu under 'FindObjects.' (897270)

🟪 Enhancement: The 'Synchronize groups to WGLN?' setting has been removed from the application's Configuration > Parameters > WGLN section. This adjustment is due to the Group concept no longer being supported in wGLN, having been replaced with the Sub-Org concept, which involves a different setup and configuration method within Descartes GLN/wGLN. (893582)

🟪 Enhancement: A new export type option ('GenericJSON') has been introduced in the Configuration > Add/Edit Export section. This feature facilitates the generation and transmission of data to be exported in JSON format, either through the HTTPS (winterface) export or manually from within the User Interface. (886651)

🟪 Enhancement: The Configuration > View Vehicles page has been enhanced for better display of Vehicleand Compartment Profile data. Now, profile names are displayed as hyperlinks. Clicking on these links opens a new window with detailed configurations for the selected profile, streamlining data viewing and reducing the need for scrolling. (886318)

🟪 Enhancement: A new 'Stop Indicator' option has been included in the 'Choose columns' configuration across various modules and respective pages. Previously, this feature was only supported at the shipment level, but it has now been extended to the following areas (884793):

• Stops Columns

• Stop Details Columns

• Stop Tooltip

🟪 Enhancement: An enhancement has been introduced in the On-demand application, focusing on the visibility and management of reports/exports for 'client_admin' user roles. This includes (847189):

• A new parameter, 'Show Report/Export History details,' has been added to the Configuration > Parameters > Report/Export page. This allows 'client_admin' users to view the 'Previously generated reports/exports' section and its history on the Reports page.

• The header 'Previously generated reports/exports' has been renamed to 'Generated Report/Export History' for better clarity.

• The GLN and FTP response columns have been merged into a single column titled 'Response.'

• Users ('client_admin') can now review reports/exports that are currently running or in progress.

• Another configuration parameter, 'Allow for report/export interruption,' has been added. When enabled, 'client_admin' users can interrupt the generation of reports/exports.

🟪 Enhancement: The 'Delivery Company' field visibility for users has been updated for scenarios where only a single domain/delivery company exists within an organization. Now, similar to the Routes and Vehicles configuration pages, administrative users are no longer required to specify this field. (788778)

🟪 Enhancement: The application has been enhanced to allow multiple users to optimize the same dataset simultaneously. This improvement takes into account shipment and resource level restrictions and is typically used in conjunction with data filtering. To ensure efficient operation and prevent conflicts, other optimization executions will be blocked if they attempt to use the same shipments or resource templates during the optimization/sequencing process. (782730)

🟪 Enhancement: The 'Show Selected Summary' feature in Map View has been updated to modify and expand the data displayed in the summary window. The following items have been added to enhance the user experience and provide more comprehensive information (776249):

• Number of Customers:

  • Displayed in the Extended configuration when shipments are selected.

  • Shown in both Simple and Extended configurations when routes are selected.

• Number of Stops:

  • Available in both Simple and Extended configurations for selected routes.

• Metrics (Quantity, Weight, Volume, Dimensions):

  • Included in both Simple and Extended configurations when routes are selected, mirroring the display format used for shipments.

🟪 Enhancement: The 'Freeze completed routes' feature in Map View has been enhanced with new configurable options. This update allows users to have more control over how the details of completed routes are displayed. The previous Menu > General Display 'yes/no' configuration option for freezing routes has been replaced with a new dropdown selection, offering the following choices (769608):

• Don't Freeze: Routes will not be frozen upon completion.

• Arrival at End Depot: The original method, corresponding to the previous 'yes' option, where routes are frozen based on arrival at the end depot stop.

• Complete at End Depot: A new method was added as part of this enhancement. Routes are frozen when the end depot stop is marked as completed.

🟪 Enhancement: New attribute options have been added to the selection lists for both Icon Display and Filters in the Map View and Scheduling Board modules. The newly added attributes include (764641):

• Invoice Name

• Invoice Comment

• Invoice Description

• Item Custom 2

• Shipment Item Attributes

🟪 Enhancement: The On-demand application has been updated with the ability for Descartes administrative users to view geocode-related requests and the associated responses in conjunction with the configured geocoding engine from within the user interface. (760603)

🟪 Enhancement: The 'Freeze Route' feature has been included within the Dispatch section and its respective pages. This feature, already supported in the Map View and Scheduling Board across both solutions, is now available in the Dispatch module as well. (750860)

🟪 Enhancement: The Scheduling Board's 'Add Hold Spot' feature has been updated with the ability for users to configure and set a recurrence pattern (days) for Hold Spots that span across multiple days. The 'Day of Week' recurrence pattern will only be available and show its applicable days based on the date selection. (745474)

🟪 Enhancement: A new configurable column for Cost Profile has been added to the Configuration > View Vehicles and Configuration > View Users (driver, helper roles) pages. Users can now easily see the cost profile associated with each vehicle or driver directly without the need to click on each individual record. (705461)

🟪 Enhancement: The On-demand application's error handling feature, introduced in version 21.07, has been expanded to enhance both customer inbound and outbound integration methods. Now, Error IDs are generated and provided in the associated response during any data processing issues for winterface (HTTPS) and webservices. (490991)

🟪 Enhancement: On-demand integration with Descartes wGLN has been enhanced, particularly focusing on the processing of wireless messages. Previously, if a message failed to be posted to On-demand, the wGLN system would halt the transmission and sending of any additional messages, leading to potential backlogs. (461774)

Key aspects of this enhancement:

• Independent Message Processing: On-demand can now receive and process wGLN messages out of sequence. For example, 'Complete' messages can be processed before 'Arrive' messages.

• Flexibility in Message Order: The application has been updated to handle 'Arrive' and 'Complete' messages in any order, enhancing the flexibility of message processing.

• Adaptation for Accurate Processing: Necessary adjustments have been made to ensure that this independent processing does not impact other functionalities, such as future stop ETA calculations.
