Redesigned buttons for tabs on several pages
We keep making Wialon UI more state-of-the-art and unified. This time, we unified the look of switches in the workspace for the pages "Units," "Drivers," "Trailers," "Passengers," and "Geofences." Thus, working with panels will provide the same user experience on all the pages.

Tools on the map
Wialon has a set of tools related to the map. They were located on the top bar, so users used to forget about them or didn’t even know they existed. We have moved all these tools directly to the map. In addition, we improved the look of the buttons that had already been on the map.

(De)activated units in the CMS log
From now on, users can quickly check in the CMS log various actions upon units. In particular, in a new line, users can see the names of units that have been activated or deactivated.

Imported messages
To make the work with the imported messages more convenient, we defined them as a separate message type in the drop-down filter in the “Messages” tab. So now you can quickly delete all the faulty messages after selecting them with one click.

Smooth movement of units on the map
We have worked on how moving vehicles look on the map. Previously, the unit movement was often jumping. We have made it smoother. This update has also been implemented for mini-windows.

The region parameter for Google maps
Great news for Google maps users — Wialon now supports the region parameter for these maps. It means that from now on, addresses obtained from Google Maps will become more accurate.

Updated search in the Routing tool
We’ve added the ability to use the unit location, geofence, or coordinates as route points. Previously, when planning a route, it was possible to search for points only by the address.

Error processing for third-party maps
We’ve arranged the processing of third-party map errors that may occur during the route building.

Language in Google geocoding
Previously, when using geocoding in the Address tool and other tools, the address was always in English. The language of the tools will now correspond to the user's language.

Highlighting problematic notifications
There are situations when notifications are sent an uncountable number of times for a huge number of units during a short period. It overloads the system and can cause the malfunction of other notifications. This issue can be solved by setting adjustments. To help the user immediately see problematic notifications, they will be highlighted in color and raised to the top of the list. An information window will also appear with a message about the issue.

Timer for Locator links
We created a link timer for the Locator page. Now, when sending a link that will start working in the future, there will appear a timer with the time when the link becomes active.

End time in marker tooltips
We complemented the parking, stop, start and end position marker tooltips with the end time of the event information. For example, you can instantly understand when the car left the parking lot and headed to the client.

Adding unit groups to automatic assignment lists for drivers and trailers
Now, you can create the automatic assignment list of drivers and trailers from unit groups. Thus, when creating a unit, you can add it to a group and quickly implement it into the work scheme if unit groups are used in the system configuration.

Tooltips for the Add Tab button in CMS
We keep improving the user experience in Wialon. Now, when you hover over the Add Tab button in CMS, a tooltip with the text "Add Tab" will appear. You can add five tabs. If you've already added all of them, you’ll see the tooltip "You can add no more than five tabs."

Sorting video files by columns in CMS
We added sorting by columns for the video tab to make its design similar to other CMS tabs. Now you can sort any column (except for buying packages) in ascending or descending order. It will allow you to quickly find the information you need, for example, sort the unit list by the number of purchased traffic packages and see which units will soon run out of traffic or storage.

Search in unit properties
We’ve added search for unit properties in the following tabs: Sensors, Eco Driving, Service Intervals, Custom Fields, and Commands. Now, it will be easier to find the required information in the various properties tabs.

Validation and tooltips for input fields in Map Management
We started a large-scale work to improve the user experience when filling out various forms. We’ve developed a new validation logic for input fields and unified the appearance of tooltips that pop up when invalid values are entered. We applied these changes to the form in the Map Management section in the CMS that appears when you click on the "Add a map" button or when you edit the previously added maps by clicking on a row in the table. Now, you can quickly fill out all the fields correctly and submit the form.

Device names in the drop-down list of the “Device type” field
Previously, the most frequently used device names were located in a row on the right side of the unit creation window. We have moved them to the drop-down list of the "Device type" field. Now, the search and selection of the frequently used device types are in one place, which allows users to enter data in the unit creation window more easily.

New field validation logic for several forms
We proceed with the large-scale renovation that will allow improving the user experience when filling in various forms in Wialon. This time, we implemented the new validation logic for the fields in the forms for creating and editing the Driver, Passenger, and Trailer sections as well as for creating and editing groups in these sections. This update also affected the forms in the geofence groups tab, the notification creation window, and a custom column in the properties of the table required for building a report template.

The goal of this update is to unify the system behavior when processing errors associated with incorrect data entry. Thus, Wialon will act in the same and understandable way for users, no matter what section of the platform they are in.

Unit groups in the Video tab
We’ve added grouping by units in the video module. Now, the user will be able to switch to the group monitoring mode by clicking on the corresponding button in the Live stream and Files tabs. The unit groups list can be opened by clicking on the checkbox to the left of its name.

Video loading statuses
After clicking on the playback icon in the Live stream or Playback tabs, the loading of the recording or live stream starts. This process can be quite lengthy. Now, throughout this time, the system will inform you of the loading status. Thus, the user will have no doubts that everything works correctly and that the recording or live stream actually are being loaded.
