Updates to core workflows
In our updates section focused on core workflow changes, we aim to clearly explain any adjustments and provide guidance for adaptation. This section covers key operations such as searching for properties, managing property agreements, handling tickets, and navigating routes and stops within the app. We welcome your feedback on which core workflows you believe should be included. Moving forward, we will also enhance this section with more detailed information regarding the included workflows, ensuring you have all the necessary insights to navigate any changes to your operations efficiently.
Platform | None |
Navigation App | The default view of the list items in the list on the route detail view has changed. Therefore customers should setup this to make sure all information that is required is still visible. This should not block any work but could make it more difficult for drivers to see information. We have made a default view that will show basic information - but for those customers who had custom views before they might need to go in and manual change this. A driver should restart the app after changes has been done in the platform to see them in the app. For more information please view #7014. |

Updates
In this release, we've placed a significant emphasis on enhancing performance and introducing a selection of key updates. While we've made over 200 improvements, bug fixes, and introduced new features, our communications have focused on the main changes that have a direct impact on user experience.
App | New Feature | Creating multiple tickets #6982
We've added a new feature to the Navigation App: Create Bulk Ticket. Now, you can easily create multiple tickets at once. Simply navigate to the toolbox and select the Create Bulk Ticket option.
In the bulk ticket creation process, we offer users 4 ways to select stops:
Direct Selection | Simply tap on the stop you wish to select. |
Select Entire Street | Identify your current location and select all containers on your current street with a single tap. You can also adjust the distance from you for a more precise selection. |
Filtering | Choose stops based on provided filtering options such as stop types, stop status, distance, container type, and waste fraction. |
List and Map View | Easily switch between map and list views to select stops. |
App | New Feature | View ticket #6983
Users now have the ability to view all tickets issued for a container on a given day, including tickets related to property issues. This feature is designed to underscore any existing problems with the container or property, enabling drivers to identify potential duplicate reports or to heighten awareness of specific concerns related to the container.
App | New Feature | Customise the stop list #7014
It is now feasible to customize the information displayed on the cards within the list in the navigation app. This customization can be tailored based on the type of stop, ensuring drivers always have access to the necessary information of different stop types. This setting can be found in Company settings → Navigation settings.
APP | Improvement | Clear container description #7514
We improved the visibility of description on containers. In the toolbox, you can now toggle on and off the container description badge. The map pin in the map will indicates if a container includes a description.
Platform | New Feature | Pair container with vehicle #7024
You can now choose which vehicle from the route scheme should be designated for collecting a specific container. Previously, assigning a specific vehicle required dividing the route scheme to isolate a single vehicle. This update facilitates the creation of more precise routes, accommodating customer preferences for consistent driver assignments and reduced variability.
Platform | Improvement | Reopen route #9039
Routes can now be reopened after being marked as completed, a function previously managed exclusively by our support team. This new action is available on the route detail view page when the route is completed.
