What’s new in Wialon Hosting
January 31, 2023

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.

Indicator for parkings/stops with the engine on
Now, when a unit is not moving but the engine is on, it can be shown on the map with a special sign. Note that to see such signs, you should choose to replace unit icons with motion state signs, and the units are supposed to have ignitions sensors.

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.

Error tooltips in the form fields of the Routing tool
We continue to make filling in the forms in Wialon faster and more convenient. This time, we applied a new validation logic for filling in all the fields in the Routing tool windows. Thus, it will be easier for users to complete the forms required for working with routes.

Clickable coordinates
Now, users can immediately go to the map provider’s page by clicking on the coordinates in the unit tooltip, in the window with the extended information about the unit, in the point tooltip when tracing the graph on the Messages and Reports tabs, or when tracing the track.

New password requirements
To improve data security, we have developed new requirements for user passwords. Now, the password must contain at least 8 characters, at least 1 special character, uppercase and lowercase letters, and must not completely match the username and the previous password. We also added the ability to view entered passwords in the forms where you create or change user passwords.

Vehicle VIN codes in the unit properties
Some GPS devices send the vehicle's VIN code to Wialon. Now, when filling in the unit properties, the user will see a tooltip that the system has automatically determined the VIN of the device. The suggested option can be accepted or rejected in the Profile tab or by clicking on
"Check VIN."

New login page for Wialon Hosting
Attention: so far, these changes are relevant to hosting.wialon.com, hosting.wialon.eu, hosting.wialon.us and other regional Wialon DNS.
All users start getting acquainted with Wialon from the login page, and this is when the first impression of the platform is formed. That's why we've done a massive redesign of the login page to make it look more up-to-the-date and pleasing to the eye. Now, the login form consists of two parts: a picture and fields with buttons necessary for authorization. When a user enters the page, a random picture from five pictures is selected.
We’ve also improved navigation via the Tab button, adapted the page to different screen resolutions, and added a timer to the button intended to resend the link for the two-factor authentication.
We’ve also changed the animation that appears on the screen after clicking on the login button so that it also matches the new page style.
The changes affected only the UI of the page elements, without affecting the functionality.

Color scheme migration for the new login page
As we’ve redesigned the Wialon login page, the migration of color schemes has also been carried out for it. In particular, we ensured the correspondence between the old and the new color schemes and also styled the page for the latter. You can select the color scheme in the user settings. The currently available options include light, gray, default (updated login page), and default (old login page).

Improved route visibility on the map in the Routing tool
In March, we also worked on the rendering of the main and alternative routes in the Routing tool. Now, the routes are better distinguishable on different maps.

Creating an unlimited Locator link via a notification
Now, in addition to the manual method, you can also create a Locator link that doesn’t expire via a notification by entering “0” in the notification tag. If you enter an invalid value, the link expiration time will be set to 60 minutes by default.

Bug fixes for vector maps
We’ve fixed several vector map errors as some of the elements had been displayed incorrectly. Now, the borders of buildings, rivers, roads, and parks are clearly visible just like on raster maps. On top of that, we added the display of the US state names.

Filling in the forms on the Trailers tab
We keep making filling in various forms in Wialon easier. This time, we introduced the new validation logic to the fields in the "Add trailer" and "Trailer properties" forms. Now, users can spot the incorrectly filled fields, fix them, and submit the form faster.

April 18, 2023

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.

Generating links to routes in the Routing tool
We added the ability to generate a link to the route via the Routing tool. Now, it has become possible to copy the link and send it, for example, to the driver, or any other employee. This feature is available when using Google Maps and Gurtam Maps as routing sources, and the link always leads to Google Maps.

Please note that the route built in Wialon may differ from the route available through the link due to some limitations of the link generation service and the impossibility of sending all the parameters.

Specifying a reason when deleting a unit
We’ve added the option to specify the reason when deleting units in CMS. You can select the reason from the list of predetermined ones or describe it yourself. This update will help you avoid accidental deletion of units, and we will collect information allowing us to eliminate potential problems and improve the quality of the product.
