New Features

Provide a sequence ID for all events created on the host

We have updated the host to apply a Sequence ID to all clock in and clock out events created on the Driver’s Log using Driver Portal or HoursGo application.

 

When Daylight Savings Time occurs, the logs within the requested time period will be produced in the current time

When a customer requests log where the start and end time includes an actual daylight savings time change, the system will provide a log up-to the change in time using the former time zone. Another log will be provided for the time after the change in the new zone time.

 

Remove Default of CMV Order Number

OHOS-8011

A default "99" was used as the vehicle order number when a driver did not log into a vehicle for the "day" when ELD logs are requested for USA or Canada. The default number has been removed so that we are compliant with the ELD requirements.

 

Intermediate Event is Missing Total Vehicle Distance in the CSV output file

OHOS-8022
