User Instructions
User details and instructions of the new or changed process
| Topic | Action | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Usage | Add Vehicles/Vehicle Search | The vehicle search screen now displays the customer and location description. Note that this is dependent on the OWNER ID and NAME being set against the jobs.
The customer cannot be changed. Whether the customer is displayed in this screen or not, it will be applied as criteria to the search, as it is required. When you click on the Location parameter, the location name is cleared. When results are displayed, the default for the screen is to now display the border of the row indicating the status (if the item has actions or not, the border will be red. This replaces the prior default configuration where the status was displayed by default within the row. This can be configured to be re-added to the results along with the border if required. |
Performance Notes
It is not thought that this change will have any impact on performance although it is our recommendation that the performance of all areas of the application is validated during testing to ensure that performance is still good.
Related Releases
Android mobile device application release 4.5.0.0 must be active prior to this release.
This is a stand-alone release and fix to the Android application and completely resolves issue 280 (to display the customer and location name). However, regarding Issue 377 (whereby the location and customer were wrong on the search and the service report), further releases and configuration are required within Calidus TMS and the Calidus EPOD server (for the work report). • CTMS requires configuration to set the Owner ID and name correctly. • CTMS requires a change to revert a prior change whereby the location was set to the customer code incorrectly. • EPOD requires a release to correct the display of the Invoice To, Supplied To and Location addresses on the Central Tyre service report. Until all of these releases are complete, Issue 377 remains open.
