Omnitracs One 5.9 New Features and Enhancements

Overview

The Omnitracs One 5.9 release is available and includes new features, enhancements, and software corrections.

 

New Features and Enhancements

Important Information for Active Alert Users: Due to recent enhancements, you can no longer modify Active Alert settings in Omnitracs Client. All modifications to Active Alert settings are now performed in Omnitracs Web.

Performance Monitoring

Dispatching

Compliance

  • More Hours of Service information has been added to the Worker's grid, Route Card, and Route Details header in Fleetview.
  • If you are eligible, you can now enable the Canadian 14/180 Fertilizer Hrs rule for a region or a worker.
  • In compliance with FMCSA guidelines, Omnitracs XRS Mobile now inserts an automatic duty status annotation in the eRODS file when a driver switches from primary driver to co-driver and vice versa. When a primary driver switches to being a co-driver, the annotation for the most recent duty status change will note that the driver was “Removed as Active Driver [Date Time].” When a co-driver switches to being a primary driver, the annotation reads “Assuming Role as Active Driver [Date Time].” This annotation only appears in the eRODS file; it is not visible to drivers or back-office users. This change was made in response to guidance from the FMCSA to all ELD vendors with the goal of making behavior consistent across all ELDs.

  • If a driver’s vehicle is currently in motion and there has been no change in duty status and no intermediate event has been created for the driver in the previous hour, an intermediate event will be created regardless of the driver’s current duty status. This behavior also applies to co-drivers, ELD Exempt drivers, and drivers of AOBRD and ELD vehicles. This change was made in response to guidance from the FMCSA to all ELD vendors with the goal of making behavior consistent across all ELDs.

Miscellaneous

  • You can edit hazardous material classifications on street segments.
  • The Edit Street Attributes notebook was rearranged, and a new page was added - Travel Info. Some information that affects road restrictions, such as speed, height, and weight, have been moved to this new page. 
  • A region's audit trail now includes who deleted the region, and when it was deleted. 
  • If you use unplanned routes, you can now associate a route ID with the equipment to make it easier to identify that equipment's routes.

There were several software corrections made in the Omnitracs 5.9 release. 

Routing

Adding a Driver Selected Layover to a Route Template

Found in Omnitracs Client

When you add a layover to a route template, you can specify that the layover should occur at a stop or a specific layover location. But, what if you want the driver to be able to choose where the layover should occur? Now, you have the option to add a layover where the driver can choose the location. 

  1. On the Route Template manifest, double click on the route template you want to add the layover to. The route template stop list opens. 
  2. In the route template stop list, right click on the stop that should precede the layover and choose Insert - Layover Template. The Layover Template window opens. 
    DriverDefinedLayover1.png
  3. Click At Location Chosen By Driver. Choose the Departure Time Calculation and, if necessary, enter the appropriate time. Check Paid if the driver is paid for the layover. 
  4. Click [Insert] to insert the layover template. 

Showing Items Selected on a Map

Found in Omnitracs Client

If you have several items in close proximity on a map, it can be difficult to determine which items you have selected, or even to make sure you have selected the proper ones. For instance, if several stops are grouped close together on the map, you can easily select the wrong stop without realizing it. Now, you can open a pick list that shows the stops selected on the map, and select the stops you want to work with. Some points about the pick list:

  • The Route Planning, Route Dispatching, and Route Query maps each have two pick lists - one for selected routes, and one for selected stops and unassigneds.
  • The Route Template map has two pick lists - one for selected route templates and one for selected stop templates. 
  • To select/deselect items for the pick list, click on them on the map. You can also use the lasso to select items on the map. 
  • To deselect items on the map from the pick list, click on the item on the pick list, then click [Update Map Selection] at the bottom of the pick list. 
  • As you select stops or routes on the map, the appropriate pick list will be updated. You can not select routes/route templates and stops/stop templates at the same time, either routes/route templates or stops/stop templates can be selected.
  • The pick list contains the same columns as the corresponding list. For instance, the stops pick list contains the same columns as the stop list.
  • The normal actions for an item are available from the pick list. For instance, the appropriate context menu is available from the pick list, so right-clicking a stop on the pick list opens the stops menu. You can also drag and drop items to and from the appropriate pick lists.
  • Mid route depots, layover locations, and maintenance locations will not appear on the pick lists. 

To open the pick list, click the Pick List icon on the map's toolbar. The pick list opens as a panel on the left edge of the map.

Navigation

Quickly Report A Problem in Navigation 

Found in Omnitracs Navigation

Previously called Driver Feedback, the name of the feedback feature has changed to Report a Problem. This can be seen on the Main Menu and the Quick Menu. Not only has the name changed, the feature has been streamlined, so the driver can quickly add an issue, with fewer pages to move through, before  tapping [Send] on the same page.

As before, when the driver taps Report a Problem from the menu, the first page allows the driver to add a new problem or edit an incident that was added from the Quick Menu. The updated details screen displays. Now, the details screen includes all the fields that are necessary to complete and send an incident. For each field, Problem type, Location, and Date and time, the driver taps the edit icon and chooses the appropriate answer. Then, the driver enters a brief description of the problem in the comment field. When the driver taps send, the issue is sent to Omnitracs. 

Managing Map Data

Found in Omnitracs Navigation

Enhancements have been made to Omnitracs Navigation map data management. Enhancements include that map data can now be stored externally, on a san disk, also known as an SD card, the worker can choose which maps to use when map data is stored in two separate locations, and map data can be deleted from the mobile device.

Note: It is recommended that you use a Class 10 SD card with 16GB of storage.

When Navigation is first installed on the device, if map data is not found where it is typically stored, the worker is given the option to select the location of the map data, Internal or External. The Internal location may be the Routenet10 directory or another directory in the mobile device's storage area. If the worker chooses External, Navigation looks for an SD card and then searches the card for the map data. Once the map data is located, the Map Download screen displays and the worker either chooses which maps to install or the maps that are set for the region install. If necessary, the worker can tap the Storage Location edit icon and change where the maps are stored.

Another enhancement for managing the map data is the addition of Map Data Storage Maintenance. Now, Navigation can determine if more than one set of maps is available to the application. Information about the maps displays, based on the storage location. The worker can see the Location, Version of maps, and the Directory where the maps are stored. The worker can choose to use a different set of maps by tapping Use This Map Data. The worker can also choose to Delete a set of maps. At any point, when a change is made, the worker is prompted to confirm that they really want to make that change.

Performance Monitoring

Found in Omnitracs Web

It is important for you to be able to monitor the performance of your overall fleet - the number of vehicles on the road, their fuel usage, mileage, hours, etc. - and even be able to drill in and investigate individual pieces of equipment. The new Performance Monitoring component in Omnitracs Web allows you to quickly and easily gather information on your entire fleet on one screen, instead of needing to print reports or analyze KPIs.  

The top of the Performance Monitoring screen shows key data for the entire region, such as the total number of vehicles, total distance, time, and fuel, and overspeeding. At the bottom of the screen you can see detailed information either by worker or by equipment. To choose whether you want to see worker or equipment data, click the Group By button and choose Equipment or Worker. 

Note: The summary at the top displays time in decimal hours, while the details grid displays time in hours and minutes. 

When you first enter Performance Monitoring, it automatically shows information for the current day. To change the date, click the arrow next to the date to move backward or forward. Or, click the Calendar icon to open a calendar; click on the date you want to view. 

You can filter, sort, or export the Details grid. 

To filter the Details grid to only show selected data, enter the filter information in the column you want to filter on. The ID and Description columns will filter on the text you enter; simply start typing in the filter row to filter on that column. The remaining columns let you enter a numeric value and choose a comparison (equal, not equal, greater than, etc.) that must be met. For example, if you want to see only equipment that has longer routes, enter a number like 200 in the Total Distance filter, then click the arrow and choose Greater Than.

Note: If you filter on more than one column, only items that meet all the criteria will be displayed. 

To sort the grid on a particular column, click the column header and choose whether to Sort Ascending (ABC) or Sort Descending (CBA). 

To export the visible content in the grid to a .csv file, click the [Export] button. The .csv is downloaded to your computer.

Dispatching

Adding Unserviceable Stop Reason Codes

Found in Omnitracs Web

Unserviceable Stop Reason Codes are used to explain why a stop is marked as unserviceable by the worker. Unserviceable Stop reason codes are added in Omnitracs and sent to the mobile device, so that when the worker marks a stop as unserviceable, they can pick the reason why it was marked unserviceable from a list. Previously, the ability to add Unserviceable Stop Reason Codes was only available in Omnitracs Client. To make it easier for those who use Omnitracs Web, the ability to add Unserviceable Stop Reason codes has been added to Omnitracs Web. 

To add an Unserviceable Stop Reason Code in Omnitracs Web, do the following.

  1. In the Maintenance module, click the green button on choose Unserviceable Stop Reason Codes.
  2. Click Add.
  3. Enter an ID and Description.
  4. Click Save. Repeat steps 2 - 4 until all reason codes are added.

Unserviceable Stop Reason Codes will now be required on the mobile device and in Fleetview when a stop is marked unserviceable.

Inserting Reload Depots to Routes

Found in Omnitracs Web

Mid-route depots, also know as reloads, are used to add depot stops to routes that finish early enough in the day to reload the vehicle and go out on another trip, or to refill the vehicle half way through the route, so that enough product is available to complete the trip. Previously, the ability to insert reload depots was only available in Omnitracs Client. To make it easier for those who use Omnitracs Web, the ability to insert reload depots has been added to Omnitracs Web. 

To insert a reload in Omnitracs Web, do the following.

  1. If necessary, open Route Details for the route you want to work with. Route Details can be opened by clicking on the appropriate route in Cards mode or the Routes Grid.
  2. Check the box to the left of the the stop that you want to precede the reload depot.
  3. Click Route Actions, and then select Insert Reload from the list that displays. The Reload Stops window opens.

Notes: On the route details screen, you can right-click the stop that you want to precede the reload depot and select Insert Reload from the menu that pops up.
To insert a reload as the first stop on a route, right-click on the origin depot and select Insert Reload; the reload is placed after the origin depot. However, if Stop 1 has already arrived, you can't insert the reload after the origin depot.

  1.  Click on the Reload Depot arrow to open a list of existing reload depots. Click on the depot you want to add to the route.
  2. Click on the Reload Action arrow and choose an action from the list.

As Needed  - equipment is only filled with product needed to complete the trip. This is the most common choice.
Full - equipment is completely refilled at the depot. 
Empty  - equipment empties entire load at the depot.
None - equipment returns to the depot, but not for loading or unloading. For example, the truck could return to be refueled.

  1. Select Override Reload Service Time if you want to override the service time calculations defined on the route's pass. In the Reload Time Override field, enter the amount of time needed to perform the necessary actions. Enter the time in the HH:mm format. This is a fixed amount of time.

Note: If Override Reload Service Time is not selected, the reload service time is calculated using the Reload Times configured on the pass. On the pass, you can configure fixed and variable times, or use the service times defined on the depot.

Autonomous Optimization

Requiring Approval for Autonomous Optimization Suggestions

Found in Omnitracs Web

If your company is using Autonomous Optimization to improve route sequencing and assign unassigned orders, you know that workers are able to manage suggestions on the mobile device for stop resequencing or order assignments. Dispatchers are able to turn autonomous optimization off for a route, but they are not able to approve or disapprove a suggestion. Now, you can require that suggestions be approved by the driver or dispatcher before the route is actually changed.

To require approval for autonomous optimization suggestions in a region, you must define who is required to approve the change, the driver or the dispatcher. Add or edit a region and click on the Dispatch tab and then Autonomous Optimization. If the Required Approval option does not display, click the arrow beside the Autonomous Optimization Resequencing and/or the Autonomous Optimization Order Assignment setting. 

Choose if you would like to require that all stop resequencing suggestions be approved by the Driver or Dispatcher. You can also choose None, if you prefer the suggestion be automatically accepted.

AutoOpt-RegionSetting-StopReseq-ApprovalRequired.png

Choose if you would like to require that all order assignments be approved by the Dispatcher or, if you prefer the suggestion be automatically accepted, choose None.

AutoOpt-RegionSetting-OrderAssign-ApprovalRequired.png

Managing Autonomous Optimization Suggestions

When you enable Autonomous Optimization for a region, if you turn on Required Approval the dispatcher or the driver may need to manage pending suggestions. 

Pending Optimizations in Fleetview

In Fleetview, you can identify which routes have Autonomous Optimization applied to them. If it is enabled, an Autonomous Dispatch icon displays in the card and map view and information is included in the autonomous dispatch columns in grid view. If your region settings require that optimizations be approved by the dispatcher, the icon on the card and map views displays red when a pending suggestion exists for the route. The icon is black if the route is eligible for at least one mode of optimization, but there is no pending suggestion, and gray if the route is not eligible for either mode of optimization.

Note: You can sort your routes in Fleetview according to which routes need attention. Click the sort arrow and choose Autonomous Dispatch Needs Attention. You can then sort the routes from A-Z or Z-A.

AutoOpt-Fleetview-PendingOptAvailableBadge.jpg

There is also an Autonomous Dispatch icon at the top of the page. When there are routes with suggestions that need attention, a number displays beside the icon. The number represents how many routes have suggestions waiting for the dispatcher's approval. Click the icon to manage the pending suggestions.

The Pending Route Optimization Suggestions window displays with a list of routes with suggestions for optimization. You can view information for previous and new costs, distances, times, and missed time windows for each route by scrolling through the columns. Place a check in the box next to a route that you want to manage and you can also see a summarized comparison of previous and new information in the Details panel of the window. You can see the information for the route as it currently exist, which is the Previous Value, and information on how it will look if the suggestion is approved, the New Value. You also see the Difference between the values.

Note: To see how suggestions affect a group of routes, check the boxes besides the routes you want to manage as a group. The summarized values and differences of the group display in the Details panel.

AutoOpt-Fleetview-PendingOpt.jpg

Once you have analyzed the route suggestions, you must accept or reject the changes to a route. Check the box beside a route and click [Accept Selected Suggestions]. If you want to reject the suggestion, click [Reject Selected Suggestions]. If there are existing Route Optimization Rejection Reason Codes available, you are required to select a reason code from the list that displays when you click [Reject Selected Suggestions].

Notes: You can accept or reject multiple routes at the same time. Check the box beside each route you want to manage and then choose to accept or reject those routes.
Route Optimization Rejection Reason Codes are added in Maintenance > Route Optimization Rejection Reason Codes.
If a route suggestion expires before it is accepted or rejected, the red icon indicator no longer displays on the route in Fleetview and the Suggestion Status, seen on the Optimization tab for the route, is assigned a status of Dispatcher No Response.

Click [Close] to close the Pending Route Optimization Suggestions window and return to Fleetview.

When viewing details for a route when there are pending suggestions, the Autonomous Dispatch icon displays red and reads Needs Attention. The Optimizations tab shows all suggestions for the route and the status of those suggestions. The total number of suggestions for the route displays on the tab and the icon shows red when there are pending suggestions. Click the Optimizations tab to see the type of suggestions that were made, order assignment or resequence of stops, the date and time the suggestions were generated, and the status of the suggestions, Pending, Accepted or Rejected.  You will also see information such as who approved or rejected the suggestion, any rejection reason codes, and the date and time it was reviewed. 

AutoOpt-Fleetview-RtDetails-OptimizationTab.jpg

Pending Optimizations in Roadnet Mobile

If your region settings require that optimizations be approved by the driver, when suggestions are received on the mobile device the driver must accept or reject them. Drivers already have the ability to manage optimized routes on the mobile device. 

When the driver receives a notification that the route loaded on the mobile device has been optimized, they can choose to accept or decline the changes. They can also choose to decline all future optimizations for the route.

When a route optimization notification is received, the driver will:

  1. Press the Optimization Available notification on the mobile device.
  2. Review the changes to the route on the Review Optimization screen.
  3. Press Accept, to accept the changes to the route or press Decline, to decline the changes. 
    Notes: If the driver declines a suggestion and rejection reason codes exist, the driver must choose a code from the list that displays.  
    If the driver wants to decline the current changes and all future changes to the route, the driver can press Decline All For Route.
    If the driver rejects three suggestions in a row, Omnitracs will stop attempting to optimize the route.

If the driver accepts the suggested changes, the route is changed to reflect the optimization and the dispatcher sees "Driver Accepted" in Fleetview, in the Suggestion Status column on the Optimization tab. If the driver rejects the suggested changes, the status shows as "Driver Rejected". If a route suggestion expires before it is accepted or rejected, the dispatcher will see "Driver No Response" in the Suggestion Status column.

Strategic Planner

Assigning Sequential Route or Territory IDs

Once routes have been created in Strategic Planner, you may want sequential IDs assigned to the routes. This can be very helpful to organize your routes, or to find a particular route in a list. You can enter a Starting Route ID of your choice and Strategic Planner will assign each route a sequential ID. For example, if you have a Washington territory and enter "Washington" for the Starting Route ID, then choose assign, Strategic Planner will assign route IDs of Washington1, Washington2, Washington3, etc.. You can assign sequential routes IDs by right-clicking on a territory(ies), week(s), or routes.

You can also assign sequential IDs to selected territories. Simply select the territories you want included, right click and select Assign Sequential Territory IDs from the menu, and start from step 2 below. 

  1. To assign sequential route IDs to one or more routes, on the Routes list, select the route you want or multiple routes, [Ctrl]+click the routes you want, right-click and select Assign Sequential Route IDs from the menu that pops up, click the [Ctrl]+I, or click the Assign Sequential Route ID icon. The Assign Sequential Route IDs window opens.
    SPAssignRouteID.png

Notes: If you want to assign IDs to all the routes in a territory/on a week, right-click on the territory or week and select Assign Sequential Route IDs. All routes on the selected territory(ies)/week(s) will be assigned a route ID.

  1. Enter the Starting Route/Territory ID.

Notes: If you enter text for the Starting Route ID, Strategic Planner will add a sequential number to the end of the Starting Route ID you enter. For example, if "Washington" as your starting route ID, Strategic Planner will assign "Washington1, Washington2, Washigton3, etc." If you enter a number, Strategic Planner will start with the number you enter and add one for each additional route.

You can enter up to 25 characters and use letters, numbers, and punctuation marks.

  1. Click the [Assign] button. Strategic Planner will assign each route/territory a sequential ID.

Note: The IDs will be assigned in the order the routes/territories were selected.

Assigning Workers and Equipment to Territories

Found in Omnitracs Client

There may be times when you want to quickly assign workers and equipment to several territories at once, instead of editing each territory individually. Now, using the Assign Workers and Equipment window, you can quickly assign a worker and equipment to a territory and move on to the next one. Additionally, if you assigned buddy equipment to equipment, workers to equipment, or equipment to workers, you can choose to have them automatically assigned to the territory at the same time.

  1. Select the territory(ies) that you want to assign workers or equipment to.
  2. Right-click on a territory and select Assign Workers and Equipment. The Assign Workers and Equipment window appears displaying the territories, workers, and equipment. The top of the Assign Workers and Equipment window lists the territories selected to be assigned; the territory currently being assigned is highlighted in the list.
    SPAssignWorkerEquipment.png
  3. Select the worker and equipment to assign to the territory.
    To assign a worker(s) to the territory, click on the worker in the list. If selecting multiple workers, [Ctrl]+click the workers. You cannot assign more than two workers to a territory. The workers will appear in the Assigned Worker space.
    Note: If a worker is not assigned to a territory, the default worker cost for the region will be used.
    To assign equipment to the territory, click on the equipment in the list. If selecting multiple pieces of equipment, [Ctrl]+click the equipment. They will appear in the Assigned Equipment space.
    To have Strategic Planner automatically assign the equipment's preferred worker, check Auto Assign Equipment's Preferred Worker. The worker is associated with the equipment in the Equipment window.
    To have Strategic Planner automatically assign the worker's equipment, check Auto Assign Worker's Equipment. The equipment is associated with the worker in the Worker window.
    To have Strategic Planner automatically assign the equipment's buddy equipment, check Auto Assign Equipment's Buddy Equipment. The buddy equipment is associated with the equipment in the Equipment window.
    Note: Once an item has been assigned, it is grayed out in the list to indicate that it is already assigned to another territory.
  4. Click the [Assign] button. The information is assigned to the territory. Continue assigning the remaining territories, or click the [Close] button to close the Assign Workers and Equipment window.
  5. Click [Yes] if you want to close the Assign Workers and Equipment window.

New Service Pattern Set

Service pattern sets determine which weeks and days recurring orders are delivered in Strategic Planner. But, what if instead of a customer receiving their order every Tuesday and Thursday, they want to receive their order every two days? Now, you can create service pattern sets that define the number of days between a customer's delivery, allowing Strategic Planner to more evenly space the deliveries. 

A couple of caveats to consider when using Days Between Service:

  • The days between deliveries should be evenly divisible by the number of days in the cycle. For instance, a service pattern with 4 days between deliveries would work with a 4 week cycle (28 days) but not with a 3 week cycle (21 days). If the days between deliveries is not evenly divisible, you may get unexpected results, especially near the end of the cycle. 
  • Each service pattern set can only contain service days between deliveries or weeks between deliveries patterns.
  • You can not use anchor weeks or days with Days Between Service service patterns. 
  • In the region settings, you must check all seven days for the Business Week or routes will not be created.
  • If a recurring order has a Days Between Service service pattern set, you will not be able to drag it to the week or day buttons on the map.  
  • You can only have one service pattern per level when using Days Between Service. 
  • In the Stops list, the Routed Weeks column will show the current week number, and the Routed Days column will show all days the order is routed in the current week. 
  1. Click on the Planning menu and scroll to Service Pattern Sets. The Service Pattern Sets list opens. 
  2. Click the Add icon; the Service Pattern Set window opens. 
    StrategicPlanningServicePatternSet.png
  3. Enter the ID and select Days Between Service as the Service Pattern Type. 
  4. Click the Add icon in the Levels Area. 
  5. Enter the Minimum Quantity and click the Create a new Service Pattern icon.
    StrategicPlanningAddServicePatternIcon.png
    The Add Service Patterns window opens. 
    StrategicPlanningServicePattern.png
  6. Enter an ID, Description, and the Days Between Service. Click [Save]. 
  7. Repeat Steps 4-6 to add more service patterns to the service pattern set. 
  8. Click [Save] to return to the Service Pattern Set window. Click [Save].

Changes to the Speed Editor

If a recurring order is using a Days Between Service service pattern, you will need to specify the day the pattern should begin. 

  1. Open the Speed Editor. 
  2. If necessary, choose the Service Pattern Set and Service Pattern for the recurring order. 
    StrategicPlanningSpeedEditor.png
  3. In the Daily Quantities area, click the Starting Day arrow and choose which day should be the first day of the pattern. The number corresponds to the day of the week: 1= Monday, 2 = Tuesday, 3= Wednesday, etc. Strategic Planner will automatically check the proper days based on the Starting Day and defined days between service for the service pattern. 
    Notes: When selecting the Starting Day, make sure the Current Week is set to 1. 
    If you want to see the service days for other weeks, click the Current Week arrow and choose the week; the days for that week will be checked. 
  4. If necessary, enter the daily quantity in the first day. 
  5. Click [Assign]. 

Automatically Creating Reloads

Found in Omnitracs Client

There are times when your truck may not be able to hold all the product to be delivered, so it needs to be reloaded before it can complete the route. Now, when you create strategic routes, you can have reloads automatically added to the routes when needed. You can specify whether the reload is based on the equipment's capacity or how long the route has been run, how long the reload will take, and where the reload should occur.

If you want reloads to be added to the routes, you need to define the options on the Strategic Route Pass Templates - Reloads page. 

Note: The maximum number of stops allowed on the entire route, including all trips, is specified on the General page.

  1. In the Strategic Route Pass Templates window, click the Reloads tab. The Reloads window opens.
    SPReloads.png
  2. In the Reload Options section, complete the information that will help determine whether a reload will be created.

    Enable Capacity Reloads - check to allow Strategic Planner to reload a truck for another trip based on the truck's capacity. Slide the Capacity Reload Threshold Percent to indicate how full the truck must be to be eligible to be reloaded. The Capacity Reload Threshold Percent is available when the Reload Action is Full or Empty.
    Enable Run Time Reloads - check to allow Strategic  Planner  to reload a truck for another trip based on the route's total run time. All paid time will be included when calculating the run time. In the Max Paid Time per Trip, enter the maximum paid time for the trip as HH:mm. The Max Paid Time per Trip does not include unpaid breaks. For example, if the maximum paid time per trip was 4 hours and the trip was 4.5 hours with an unpaid break of 45 minutes, a reload would not be created because the paid time is only 3 hours 45 minutes.
    Max Number of Reloads - enter the maximum number of reloads allowed per route.
    Reload After Last Stop - select to automatically have the equipment visit a depot and reload after the last serviceable stop. If the depot (final destination) that the equipment is returning to can reload, then it will use that depot to reload. If not, Strategic Planner will use the origin depot or find the best available depot at which to reload.
  3. In the Max Quantity per Route section, enter the necessary information to limit the total route to a maximum quantity.
    Size 1 - Size 3 - check to have the total quantity for the route limited by that size alias. If this option is selected, the total quantity for the route, including all trips, will not exceed this amount. Enter the maximum quantity for that size in the Maximum Size field. 
  4. In the Reload Times section, enter the information about how long it will take to reload the equipment.
    Use Depot Service Time for Reloads - select if you want to use the depot's fixed and variable service time when reloading. The reload service time is the amount of time needed to reload the truck if it is being sent out for another trip.
    Fixed Reload Time - enter the fixed service time needed to reload the truck if it is being sent out for another trip. Enter the exact time using the format HH:MM. If entered, this reload time will be used instead of the depot's service time.
    Variable Reload Time - enter the variable service time needed to reload the truck if it is being sent out for another trip. Enter the exact time using the format HH:MM:SS:FFF, where F stands for fractions of a second. If entered, this reload time will be used instead of the depot's service time.
  5. In the Reload Depots section, choose the depots that can be used for reloads.
    Use Origin As Reload Depot - check if you want the depot the route started at to be used as the reload depot.
    Depots Available for Reloads/Depots Unavailable for Reloads - click the arrows to move depots between the Depots Unavailable for Reloads list to the Depots Available for Reloads list as necessary. Any depots listed in the Depots Available for Reloads area will be considered as reload depots.
  6. Click the [Save] button to save the changes.
  7. When you are finished, click the [Close] button to close the window.

Updates to Export Planning Solution

Once you have created your planning routes, you can export them to your host system so that data can be transferred and used elsewhere in your organization. Several enhancements have been made to Export Planning Solution that allow you to export additional data, as well as control how the data is organized in the export file. The following enhancements have been made:

  • You can now specify whether the Day of Week is exported starting on Sunday or Monday. This can be especially important if you run routes for all seven days of the week.  In the Day of Week Output area, choose Sunday Based or Monday Based on the Export Planning Solution manifest. 
  • You can now include any reloads, breaks, or layovers that are on the routes in the export file. To include the reloads, breaks, or layovers, check Include Reloads, Breaks, and Layovers on the Export Planning Solution manifest. 
  • If you find that it can be difficult to match the data in the file with what it represents, now you can have the field name included as the first row of the export file. To include the field names in the export file, check Include Field Names as First Row on the Export Planning Solution manifest.

Running the Strategic Planner License Usage Report

Found in Omnitracs Client

A report has been added for Strategic Planner that shows license usage by region. At the top of the report, you will see the Term Start Date, Planning Session Last and Next Archive Dates, and the number of Licensed Operational and Modeling Territories. Information in the report includes the Business Unit, Region, and the number of Operational Planning Sessions and Modeling Planning Sessions for all territories.

There are no options to set for this report. Simply choose the Report Format and click Run.

Insight

Adding Absolute Value to a Custom Measure

Found in Omnitracs Web

An enhancement has been added to Insight's Custom Measures. You can now create a custom measure that uses the absolute value function. When creating a custom measure, in the formula field you can add any combination of abs: all lower case, all upper case ABS, or a mixed case Abs. Insight will automatically convert it to all upper case in the formula line.  

Resetting the Columns in a KPI Grid View

Found in Omnitracs Web

If you move your columns around when looking at a KPI in grid view, you will notice that the column order doesn't match up with the KPI when viewed in a graph or the exported .csv file. This is because the grid is simply a view of the KPI and changes to the grid do not modify the actual KPI. As well, the exported .csv shows the order of the actual KPI, not the order of a changed grid.

You can now reset your column order in grid view to reflect the actual KPI. The Reset icon displays when you apply a Grid Visualization to the KPI. When you move a column while in grid view, the Reset icon becomes active. Press the Reset icon to return the columns to their original position so they reflect the actual KPI column order.

Custom Units for Custom Measures

Found in Omnitracs Web

When you use a custom measure in a KPI, the units on the graph or chart are based on the first measure included in the custom measure's formula. For example, if your formula's first measure displays a quantity, then quantity shows on the graph or chart. If your formula calculates a percentage, you would want percent to show on the graph or chart, instead of quantity.

You can now choose which unit you want to show for your custom measure. The Custom Measure Units list is populated using the measures that are part of the formula. Number, Count, and Percent are always included in the list, as well as the default choice of Auto. Depending on what measures you add to the formula, other units such as Time and Gallons, may display in the list.

Drive

Sending Trips to Drive/Command Using Fleetview

Found in Omnitracs Drive/Command and Omnitracs Web

Currently, Drive/Command is most frequently used with third party planning applications (e.g. integrated TMS and EPR systems). So that you take advantage of the flexibility of Drive with Omnitracs Routing & Dispatching, two changes have been made that allow Drive/Command to work seamlessly with Omnitracs Routing & Dispatching, a new field on stop types in Drive/Command and assigning workflows to regions and routes in Omnitracs FleetView. 

Updating Your Stop Types in Drive/Command

Previously, not all stop types in Drive/Command matched with stop types in Omnitracs FleetView. A new field, Dispatch Stop Types, has been introduced in Command to enable stop types from Drive to post and display real-time information to Omnitracs FleetView. By default, stop types are assigned Generic as the default stop type. If you are currently using Drive/Command, you do not need to make any changes, unless you want to use Omnitracs FleetView for real-time tracking of trips, workers, and equipment. If you are a new Drive/Command user, Dispatch Stop Types are already assigned to stop types in the Drive/Command package. If you are currently using Drive/Command, you will need to assign a Dispatch Stop Type to your existing stop types in Command. 

Note: You can find information about Dispatch Stop Types in the online help for Command.

Assigning Workflows in Omnitracs

Drive/Command uses workflows to define how drivers complete their trips. Workflows contain stop types and tasks that guide the driver through their trips. Depending on your business and the types of trips that are run, you may have more than one workflow. A last mile trip may contain a limited number of tasks for each stop, such as arrive, deliver, and depart. While truckload trips might have bump dock and scale tasks included in the workflow. Trips sent from Omnitracs Routing must be assigned a workflow so that as a worker executes their trip, Drive returns stop information for a trip and Omnitracs knows what to do with the information. To aid in this seamless posting of trip data, Drive/Command workflows are now assigned to regions and routes in Omnitracs. 

Each region in Omnitracs that sends trips to the Drive application must have a Default Driver Workflow assigned to it. 

To assign a Default Driver workflow to a region, do the following.

  1. In the Administration module, click the green button and choose Regions.
  2. Add a new region or edit an existing one.
  3. On the General page, click the Default Driver Workflow arrow and choose the workflow you want to make the default for the region.

Note: Workflows that exist in Drive/Command display in the Default Driver Workflow list.

Drive-RegionDefaultWorkflow.jpg

Once a default workflow is assigned to the region that workflow is automatically assigned to each route that is added in Fleetview and Drive. To see this, click Route Actions and then click Add Route. The new field is on the Details tab of the Add Route window. 

Note: You can change the Driver Workflow for an individual route. Select the route in FleetView, then select Edit Route. Click the Driver Workflow arrow and choose the workflow you want to assign to the route.

Drive-Fleetview-AddRoute-DefaultWorkflow.jpg

AMG-C

The AMG-C generally serves as a Wi-Fi hotspot for a data tablet/phone running the Omnitracs Drive application. Drive remote communications back to application servers are a Wi-Fi connection from the tablet and then sent to the server over a cellular link using secure internet protocols. When the cellular signal becomes weak, such that data cannot be transmitted, the hotspot is disabled and the tablet will use Bluetooth connection to the AMG-C for critical communications. If a satellite modem is present, the AMG-C will connect to the satellite modem via Wi-Fi and transmit/received a reduced set of transactions.

Satellite Communications

If you have purchased a satellite communication device, the AMG-C can now work with the satellite to send data when a cellular network is not available. However, a reduced set of messages can be transmitted.

Included:

  • Driver and dispatch messages to and from Drive including panic messages
  • Positions at a reduced frequency is definable but likely 15 minutes to 1 hour.

Not Included:

  • ELD messages are not available in satellite mode. While in satellite mode, ELD is in “offline” mode. The driver can maintain his compliance, but the host does not have visibility to his status changes. All of this information is exchanged with the host upon return to cellular coverage
  • Other frequent messaging such as fault monitoring, speed information, and frequent positions are all retained in the AMG-C and delivered when the units return to cellular coverage

Link Diagnostic Application Tool

An Omnitracs app called Link is packaged with the AMG-C release to aid in installation and diagnostics of the AMG-C. In this release, there is a function that permits the AMG-C to discover a satellite modem and pair with it for subsequent communications. Pairing is necessary to make sure that an AMG-C on a truck is talking to a satellite modem on that same truck instead of a neighboring truck.

Once the unit is paired, the Link tool can help perform a signal test and return useful diagnostic information so that the installer can determine that the AMG-C and the satellite modem have been installed properly and are working together.

Editing Maps to Consider Hazardous Material Classifications

Trucks carrying explosives or other types of hazardous materials are often restricted where they can travel. For instance, often a truck loaded with explosives can not travel through a tunnel. The map data includes the road restrictions for hazardous materials, but you can review the restrictions for a street segment or edit them as necessary. 

Note: Hazardous material prohibitions are only available with RouteNet version 12 maps. 

  1. Select the street segment you want to edit. 
  2. Right-click on the segment and choose Edit Attributes. The Edit Street Attributes window opens.
  3. Click on the Hazardous Material Prohibitions tab. The Hazardous Materials Prohibitions page opens. 
    HazMatStreetAttsHazMatPros.png
  4. Check the hazardous material classification that applies to the segment. 
  5. Make any other necessary changes to the segment, then click Save.

Note: As part of this change, the Edit Street Attributes was re-worked. Information that was previously on the Street Attributes page has been split; address information remains on the Street Attributes page, but information dealing with road restrictions, such as whether or not the road is a commercially restricted road, the height and the weight, have been moved to a new Travel Info page. 

HazMatStreetAttsTravelInfo.png

Specifying a Route ID for Unplanned Routes

If you do not use planned routes, your unplanned routes are identified by the equipment's ID and description. However, you may have another way you want to identify the route. Now, you can specify a Generated Route Display Name that will be used to identify the route in FleetView, and elsewhere in Omnitracs One. 

To specify the display name for a route, enter the name on the equipment. 

In Maintenance, click on the green button and scroll to Equipment. Click Add to add new piece of equipment, or click the Edit icon for equipment you want to change. The Equipment window opens. Enter the display name that should be shown for any route this equipment runs in the Generated Route Display Name box. Click Save. 

GeneratedRouteID.png

This name will now be used to identify any unplanned route that equipment runs throughout Omnitracs One.
