Extend shipment duration to 150 days

The previous maximum shipment duration was 84 days. It will be extended to 150 days. This means that data from shipments will be accessible in the SCM UI and Shipment Reports for up to 150 days.

Shipment search by custom property

A new field will be added in the shipment search that allows users to search by custom properties. In the first release of this feature the search will be limited to a single custom property.

User will be able to select a custom property from a drop down list and depending on the type of property; select enumerable value or enter a text.

This should allow users to find shipments more easily using values from custom properties like Delivery no and Order no or filter results by a specific courier.

Logger FW version

Logger firmware version will be made available in the logger detail view.

Flexibility when selecting ignore periods

When defining ignore periods for shipments, there was previously a fixed set of defined ‘ignore periods’ available through SCM UI, e.g. 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours. With this change it is now possible to define the ignore period in a flexible way in increments of 10 minutes, e.g. 70 minutes or 160 minutes.

Logger traces automatically loaded when opening shipments

When opening a shipment the logger traces for the logger that last reported to the cloud will be loaded automatically on the map below.

Currently the user must first go to chart/data tab and select a logger to load the data. By auto loading the location traces the user should be able to get quick indication on where the shipment is located and the route it has taken.

This step is considered to be a mitigation step. The next step would be to have an aggregate of position data from all loggers and display on map as the “shipment trace”.

Alarm delay extended to 800 hours

The alarm delay, accumulative time out of bounds, can now be set up to 800 hours. Previous limit was 180 hours. This is to allow customers to define boundaries that reflect products with longer stability budgets.

Minor improvements

Following changes will be included in the release as well with minimum impact on the user:

Logger list and information shown in logger detail view now in sync.

When duplicating a shipment, the new duplicated shipment will now open in a new tab, making it easier for the user to go between the previously existing shipment and the new shipment.

When creating a share shipment link the user will be able to see the time and the time zone of the validity period for the link. See below in red where the additional information will be added.

Alert email generated directly from the Controlant system will be updated to include additional details.

The changes include:

Adding alarm severity to the email subject
Adding origin and destination names
Adding the account name
Adding a share shipment link to the email.

The reason for this change is twofold. First, adding more details for better readability and second, this enables better automation for our MARS team and the internal ticketing system that is used to handle incoming alerts.

Note, that this only applies to emails generated directly from the Controlant system and not emails sent out by the MARS team.
