Flash No Longer Supported

The primary objective of this release is to deprecate Flash technology. Support for this technology is being removed from browsers in favor of more modern and comprehensive user interface technology.

Note: No changes were made to functionality in this release.

• If you log in through the services portal (https://services.omnitracs.com), all screens will be the same as they are now.
• If you log in using the direct application URL (https://mm.omnitracs.com/mms), some screens will have a new design.
