HOS<\/a> information enables fleet managers to identify which drivers are coming up to the end of their daily or weekly hours, and helps them avoid potential HOS violations.<\/p>\nMarketplace Configurations<\/h3>\n
In MyGeotab, the default setting has been updated so that users will see all available Marketplace applications. This includes both free and paid applications, including applications developed by third-party vendors.<\/p>\n
Administrators have the ability to customize the types of applications visible to users through a toggle option. For example, the Marketplace view can be configured to display only free applications. To change this setting, navigate to Administration\/System Settings. On the Marketplace tab, select the Off for \u201cDisplay third-party apps.\u201d<\/p>\n

To streamline the creation of zones, which are a critical component in analyzing fleet behaviour, Geotab has made it possible to create zones from Google Keyhole Markup Language (KML) files using the Import KML Zones Add-In.<\/p>\n
Geotab has developed a number of Add-In products which can be easily integrated into your MyGeotab UI. More information is available on the MyGeotab Software Development Kit (SDK) portal.<\/p>\n

Quick edit functionality has been added to the Vehicle Edit section. When a vehicle is assigned to multiple groups, you can click the \u201cx\u201d to remove it from the group, while leaving the other assignments in place.<\/p>\n

Multi-language support has been extended to users. Report headings for default reports will be translated into the language currently set by the user. Users can also make use of this functionality for custom reports in any supported language.<\/p>\n
To add multi-language support for a new custom report template, follow the appropriate method below.<\/p>\n
From a default template:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Export the base report you want to build your custom from by going to Administration>Reports>Report Views, selecting the report, and clicking on the Export button.<\/li>\n
- Un-hide the Languages tab.
\n+ The Languages tab has English as its first column and subsequent columns contain French, Spanish, German, and Japanese. The column titles must be shown in English.
\n+ The other languages can be in any order.
\n+ Custom reports do not need to support all languages, a subset is acceptable.<\/li>\n - If you add new header text in the report or summary tabs, you will need to add two asterisks before the heading (for example, \u201cDate\u201d would be \u201c**Date\u201d). Without the asterisks, the translations will not work.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
From live data:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Navigate to the section you want to build your custom report from and run the report (for example, Activity>Risk Management>View>Advanced).<\/li>\n
- Un-hide the Languages tab.
\n+ The Languages tab has English as its first column and subsequent columns contain French, Spanish, German and Japanese. The column titles must be shown in English.
\n+ The other languages can be in any order.
\n+ Custom reports do not need to support all languages \u2013 a subset is acceptable.<\/li>\n - For each tab, whether a sheet or a pivot table, at the English heading you wish to translate, type the prefix of two asterisks (for example, change \u201cDate\u201d to \u201c**Date\u201d). Without these the translations will not work.<\/li>\n
- If you create new columns, you will need to add them to the translations table, one per line.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Translating existing custom reports:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- If you have existing custom reports that you wish to translate, please follow the above steps for creating a report template from live data. You will need to create a new tab with the exact title \u201cLanguages\u201d which can be hidden later if desired.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Noto Sans Japanese font<\/h3>\n
The default system font for the Japanese language user interface in MyGeotab has been changed to Noto Sans Japanese for improved Japanese language legibility. The Noto font family is being developed by Google as a means of supporting all languages with a font that is high-quality and reader-friendly.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

An additional security clearance for \u201cAdminister devices delete\/unplug\/replace\u201d has been created for configuring user-level security. A user will now need this particular clearance to makes changes on individual vehicles. To add or change security clearances in MyGeotab, go to Administration\/Users and click on the Clearances button.<\/p>\n
Minor Interface Enhancements<\/h3>\n\n- Vehicles are identified as \u201chistorical\u201d, rather than \u201chistoric.\u201d This change does not affect functionality.<\/li>\n
- A cancel button was added to the rule edit page.<\/li>\n
- The placeholder text for input fields and button tool-tips supports multiple languages.<\/li>\n
- Route and Route plan changes include: numbering route stops; adding a drag icon to routes on a list; warning that if a trip is optimized it may change the stop order; clarification that optimization is based on shortest distance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
