Enhancements

Messages with pictures and text

Send text and pictures separately if required (TTESUITE-200976)

Before, if the network connection quality was poor, the app did not send a message with a picture and text. It saved the message until the network connection quality was good enough to send both parts of the message. This caused delays.

Now, the app sends the message text if there is any network connection. If a picture is part of the message, then it sends the picture only if there is a good quality network connection. Otherwise, the app saves the picture. It sends the picture when there is a good quality network connection.

If a picture arrives after a delay, the system matches the picture with the text part of the message that it already received.

  • This feature is now available for TMWSuite® users. It will soon be available for TruckMate™ users.

  • Carriers: Obtain a new QR code from your Trimble representative to use this feature.

  • Drivers: You cannot change this setting through the D2Link app.

Performance and security improvements

Upgraded D2Link to Ionic® 5 (TTESUITE-21040)

We upgraded the app development framework from Ionic 3 to Ionic 5. Go to ionicframework.com for information about the Ionic framework.

Stop status data

Added the Mutable Status setting (TTESUITE-201252)

The app saves your arrival and departure stop status data. Updates from the dispatch system replace stop status data saved by the D2Link app. You could see changes in your stops. You might need to correct stop information. We added a new setting on the Settings page, Mutable Status. It controls what happens to that saved data if the dispatch system sends updates with data that is different from what D2Link saved.

  • When the setting is on, there is no change from what happened before.

  • If the setting is off, the stop status data saved in your app does not change. Updates from the dispatch system do not replace your saved stop status data. Your existing stops do not change.

  • Carriers: Obtain a new QR code from your Trimble representative to use this feature.

  • Drivers: You cannot change this setting through the D2Link app.

  • This only applies if there is a difference between the stop status data in the dispatch system and the data saved by the D2Link app.

The Schedules number

Completed trips are not added to the Schedules number (TTESUITE-202125)

A number representing trips displays by the word "Schedules" in the app. Sample number This appears at the top of the Schedules screen and on the side menu.

Before, this number displayed trips that were complete and not complete.

Now, this number only displays trips that are not complete.

Resolved issues

Access to the side menu

  • TTESUITE-202136
    You could use the side menu before the app was activated. Now, the side menu is not active until you activate the app.

    • You cannot see the side menu on phones and some tablets.

    • On some tablets, you can see the menu but cannot use it.

Days Of History setting

  • TTESUITE-21080
    The Days Of History setting did not work right.

    Now, completed trips delete according to the Days Of History setting. If you set Days Of History to zero, completed schedules delete when a new schedule is received.

Issues specific to TruckMate users

  • TTESUITE-202363
    In the Tabbed view, the pending schedule count did not update correctly. This happened when a load was rejected.

  • TTESUITE-203116
    Some users saw these issues:

    • Errors occurred when submitting paperwork.

    • The paperclip for trip paperwork was sometimes missing.

Loading message

TTESUITE-202111

  • The "Loading" message sometimes did not go away. You had to exit the app. Now, there is a message box at the bottom of the screen. You can see pages as they load above the box. Any error message displays in that box. If there is an error, close the box to return to the screen.

Session time-out errors

TTESUITE-201726
