Platform Release Notes 7/30/12

Enhancement: Duration Field within Tracking

Users will now be able to view a Duration Field within the Tracking of the Device. This
Duration Field will provide the Duration Time since the Device last reported positional
address.

Benefit to Users:
This enhancement to the Platform will allow users to easily retrieve the Duration time
from their reporting units. By doing so, the user will have immediate access to this
reporting information and will be able to save a considerable amount of time.

Highlight:

With the addition of this feature to the Platform, Users will find themselves saving time
while reviewing their Reporting Devices. They will also find this information to be
simply invaluable – Duration since the Device last reported, in one simple-to-use area,
will purely benefit the user.

Update: Current Track Report

Benefit to Users:

With this Platform Enhancement, users will receive an Update to the Current Track
Report. This Report will now also display a Google Maps Link for this data. Prior to this
update, users were provided with a variety of valuable information however, no Google
Maps Link. The Address information is now displayed as a hyperlink, bringing the user
directly to Google Maps

Highlight:

By providing this Update to the Current Track Report, Users will gain valuable
information without needing to take any additional steps. Users will no longer need to
copy the Current Track Location & do a search within Google Maps. Rather, users now
have access to this Google Maps link directly within the Current Track Report. These
links will work with the first running of the report as well as once the Report has been
saved and re-opened and/or sent.

Bug Fix: Routing Tab – Viewing & Sending Directions

Issue:

Users were not able to see the Directions pop-up from the Routing Tab. When selecting
the Directions from the Routing tab, no matter which method was used, users would
receive a blank pop-up window. This was occurring within all browsers including
Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari.

During this bug, users were still provided with the option to view Directions. Even
though the Directions button appeared to be working, the pop-up window received by the
user, was always blank. In addition to this feature not correctly working, this blank pop-
up window also caused confusion amongst users. Users were under the impression that
the Directions were populating and were losing time waiting for these directions.

Solution:

With this Bug Fix, users will now be able to select the Directions and receive them
without issue. When the Directions are selected off the Routing Tab, a pop-up box will
open with the Directions to the selected device. Also, users will have an option to share
these Directions via e-mail.

From the pop-up box, there will be a ‘Share’ option. By selecting this link, users will be
able to share the directions with an e-mail address they enter. This feature is available in
all instances of viewing Directions and is displayed further in the below screen shots.
