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.

Group report for a unit
We added the possibility to run a group report on a single unit.

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.

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.

Track playback for saved video files
We have introduced a new Map widget in the Files and Playback tabs. With this feature, you can play the track of the moving unit on the map while watching saved video from the cameras. Now users can effortlessly determine the unit's location at any given moment during the file analysis.

Upgraded table of deleted objects and new criteria for searching in the Trash
Searching the Trash in CMS has become more convenient as we’ve added new columns to the table of deleted objects. Now you can easily find an object by its account name, unique ID, phone number, or object type. If an object has multiple phone numbers or unique IDs, the search results will display them separated by commas in the respective columns of the table.

Updated search in the Batch editing of accounts tool
Previously, the filter drop-down list in CMS contained the "Account" criterion, which has now been replaced with "Parent account." This change allows users to quickly locate all subordinate accounts associated with a specified parent account and perform necessary actions, such as assigning a different billing plan or topping up the balance.

Ability to view the entered password on the CMS login page
Recently, we have introduced a new feature that allows users to view the entered password when logging into their Wialon account. This functionality is now also available on the CMS login page as well. To check the accuracy of the entered password, simply click on the eye icon. By default, the password is hidden, and dots are shown instead.

Enhanced validation logic for filling in forms
We are continuing our work on implementing a unified approach to error visualization and handling of incorrectly entered data, aiming to make the system's behavior consistent and predictable across all sections.

In this update, we have refined the validation logic for all fields in the forms used for creating and editing unit groups, as well as the fields on the General tab in unit properties. Additionally, we have standardized the validation for custom fields in all Wialon forms. As a result, the system now responds uniformly whenever a user inputs invalid data or leaves mandatory fields empty in these forms.

Alternative speed source options
We have introduced a feature that enables the retrieval of speed data from alternative sources. If desired, users can select a specific parameter whose values will be utilized to determine the speed. For instance, they can effectively utilize the speed value derived from the CAN bus.

Please note that this option is currently not available for all types of devices. The list of these devices will expand in the future.

CO2 emissions data and reports
The volume of carbon dioxide emissions is a common indicator for assessing eco driving. The average CO2 emissions value is now available on the Profile tab in the unit's properties. Besides, the emissions volume calculated based on the trip mileage is available in reports for the unit, unit group, driver, and driver group.

Ability to select cameras for notifications
Now users can select the cameras when configuring notifications with the Save video as a file action. Previously, videos were excerpted from all cameras simultaneously, resulting in higher network traffic usage and occupying more storage space. With this enhancement, users can now optimize network usage by selecting the necessary camera for saving the video.

Trash section updates: search by the object deleter and hints for object restoration errors
We continue to enhance the user experience in the Trash section. In this update, we have added the Object deleter column to the table of deleted objects, enabling users to easily identify who deleted a specific object without requesting technical support.

Furthermore, we have improved the error descriptions that appear when attempting to restore a deleted object. Users will now receive more informative error messages, highlighting the cause of the restoration failure: for example, if there is another object with an identical phone number.

Improved functionality for off-time notifications
We have enhanced the data processing algorithm for notifications used to monitor the vehicle off time. The maximum off time value is now set to 30 days. Furthermore, we’ve made interface refinements and implemented new field validation logic ensuring that users will receive error messages if they enter incorrect data.

New line colors in the Messages tab
We’ve introduced a refreshed color scheme for lines in the Messages tab designed to enhance visual perception and improve usability. Specifically, we have intensified the background color of alarm messages making them more noticeable. User-selected messages now stand out with a darker and more contrasting background facilitating differentiation from other messages. These updates have also been extended to tables in reports.
Additionally, we’ve implemented visual highlighting for messages when users switch to the Messages tab from other tabs.

Enhanced color indication for online notifications
The online notifications, including those on the minimaps, now have better color indication. With this update, we’ve revamped both the notification itself and its background. Previously, the notification line's background was colored, and it would change to a lighter shade after the message was read. Now, the indicator on the left side of the line displays the selected notification color from the settings. The background color reflects the notification status: unread messages will have a light blue background, while read messages appear with a white background.

Watching live streams on the Monitoring tab
Users can now view live streams from vehicle cameras directly on the Monitoring tab. This feature allows them to access comprehensive information about the vehicle in one place, including its movement on the map and sensor values. Additionally, users can now effortlessly watch live streams from multiple vehicles simultaneously in different windows. To open the video mode, simply click on the corresponding icon in the unit list. It's important to note that to work with video on the Monitoring tab, users must meet the same requirements as for working with the Video tab.

Tooltips for Driver, Trailer, and Passenger activity notifications
Notifications of these types can be created for multiple drivers, trailers, and passengers simultaneously. To do this, the user simply needs to enter several codes or code masks separated by commas without spaces. To remind about this option, we’ve added a corresponding tooltip in the notification creation window.

Information about activated and deactivated units
We’ve introduced the capability to monitor the dynamics of added and deleted units within a specific period in the CMS. This information is now conveniently presented in the form of a graph in the Units section of the Dashboard.

Refreshed look of the work list on the Monitoring tab
We've started to redesign the work list of units and unit groups on the Monitoring tab to enhance the overall user experience, making it smoother and more intuitive. This redesign will be implemented gradually, in several stages. In this update, we've refreshed the visual styles of the work list elements giving them a more contemporary look.
It's important to note that these changes focus solely on the interface. All existing settings for displaying monitoring options for the list elements continue to function exactly as they did before.

Restoring drivers, passengers, trailers, and their assignments
Users can now independently restore deleted drivers, passengers, and trailers, along with their assignment history, without the need to request  technical support. This feature comes in particularly handy when the user needs to recover lost data due to accidental deletion or the incorrect use of the Replace import type when existing data is completely removed and replaced with the new one.

Exporting data from the Trash in .xlsx format
Recently, we've been expanding the data range displayed in the table of deleted objects making it more insightful and useful. And now, all this information can be effortlessly exported in .xlsx format in just a few clicks. Thanks to this enhancement, Wialon partners can easily and conveniently share the data with users who don't have access to the Trash.

Ability to configure the fractional sensor values
We've introduced an improvement that offers flexibility in choosing how fractional sensor values are displayed in messages, reports, tooltips, and other sections of the system. Users now have the option to select between displaying decimal fractions or rounding the values. This feature applies to sensors within the Mileage, Gauges, Engine, and Fuel groups, as well as to custom sensors.

Dark theme
Now you can choose a dark theme for the interface in the settings.

Map behaviour
When the user zooms in or moves the map, its position is now saved (until the next session). Additionally, a special button has been added to return to the ideal zoom level (fit all units).

This update is currently available only for Android.

Video file downloading
Users can now conveniently download videos from the system to their computers, for example, when they need to store files long-term or send them to third parties. This feature is available in all sections of the system where video viewing is enabled: on the Files tab, as well as in reports, messages, and tracks.

Updated unit tooltip for the Drivers, Trailers, and Passengers tabs
We are continuing to implement the redesigned tooltip across various system sections. The updated unit tooltip is now available on the Drivers, Trailers, and Passengers tabs. As usual, it displays information according to user settings.

Simple switch to the Wialon website
Users can now instantly switch from the login page or monitoring interface to wialon.com.
Simply click on the Wialon logo on the login page or the top panel.
Please note that these changes apply only to hosting.wialon.com and regional sites such as hosting.wialon.eu, hosting.wialon.us, hosting.wialon.org, and others.

Support of operation with EV: battery level sensor
A new battery level sensor is now available in the system, allowing users to determine the EV (electric vehicles) charging level in kWh. This sensor’s working principle is similar to that of fuel sensors: you can view charging sessions and energy consumption in reports, track dynamics in charts, and receive notifications about charging events. The introduction of the battery level sensor is a significant step toward developing a comprehensive infrastructure for electric vehicles in the system.

Recommendation system for automatic creation of popular sensors
At the unit creation stage, the system now recommends the most popular sensors previously created by other users for the same device type. Select the sensors you need from the list, copy them to your settings, and use them in your work. Note that currently, the list doesn’t include all types of sensors; however, it shows the most popular ones, namely mileage, ignition, and voltage sensors.
This feature will significantly simplify the initial stages of working with the system for new users and save time for the experienced ones.

Updated unit tooltip for the Online notifications window, Chat with driver window, and Video and Routes tabs
We are continuing to improve UI/UX. This time, we implemented the updated tooltip across various system sections. The redesigned unit tooltip is available on the Video tab, when working with the mini-map. The tooltip was also replaced in places where it’s essential to control various parameters and react to their changing, namely in the Online notifications window, Chat with driver window, and Routes tab. As usual, tooltip displays information according to user settings.

Bulk import of fuel fillings, drivers, and units from csv/xlsx files
Partners can now import data on fuel fillings, drivers, and units into Wialon from csv/xlsx files. This improvement makes the process of mass-creating elements faster and more convenient — there is no need to add them individually. During the import process, the system will verify the data and automatically add the correct fuel fillings, units, or drivers.
Bulk import of fuel fillings is particularly useful for units without fuel level sensors, as well as for generating reports on fuel fillings using fuel cards. The ability to quickly upload all the information into Wialon significantly simplifies the analysis and comparison of actual data with system-recorded data.
The mass creation of units or drivers allows for the addition of a large number of elements into the system at once, without the need to request technical support. This accelerates the process of adding new elements and streamlines the transfer of existing driver and unit databases into Wialon.

Sensor recommendations in the unit properties
We previously released a feature that allows users to create popular sensors automatically when creating new units.
Now, we have added the ability to create sensors based on recommendations in the unit properties. The system analyzes messages received from the unit and suggests the automatic creation of suitable sensors that are not yet configured.
This new feature further simplifies the process of creating sensors, allowing users to save time on routine tasks.

Information about the activated video service in Wialon
Users can now see the description of the activated video service in the account properties in CMS Manager. This enhancement makes it easy to quickly identify which unit has the activated service and the purchased traffic package.

Tasks functionality
We’ve introduced the Tasks feature to enhance Wialon’s event management. This tool streamlines fleet operations by simplifying work with events and ensuring that each one is properly overseen and addressed.
The Tasks tab consolidates all registered events into a single interface. When an event occurs, it appears in the task list, which is updated in real time. Fleet managers can assign tasks to different users, set priorities, track task statuses and leave comments detailing the actions taken on each event. Bulk editing is also supported, enabling efficient management of multiple events at once.
Besides, the feature allows users to filter and analyze historical events, sorting them by date, status, or priority. This helps to review past actions, assess performance, and identify areas for improvement.
Learn more about the feature in the Wialon help center, and stay tuned for a dedicated blog post.

Support for H.265 codec on Windows and macOS
We’ve added support for the H.265 codec on Windows and macOS. The codec compresses video more efficiently, allowing users to get smaller file sizes compared to the H.264 codec, which in turn reduces data traffic consumption.

To make this feature work, ensure the device sends video in H.265 and that both the browser and system are compatible with this codec.

Logging and reporting features for Tasks
Recently, we launched the Tasks functionality, bringing all registered fleet events into a consolidated interface. This feature simplifies task management in Wialon, providing enhanced visibility and control over fleet assets, while streamlining workflows for dispatchers, supervisors, and other fleet operators. Users can assign tasks, leave comments, and interact with tasks in real time.
To further enhance visibility and traceability, we’ve now introduced comprehensive logging features. Users can monitor all task-related actions — such as status changes, assignee updates, and more — through:

• Log tables in reports for users, units, and unit groups;
• Log messages on the Messages tab;
• User activity log.

These updates make it easier to identify task modifications and review historical data, ensuring smoother oversight and more efficient task management.

New table for notification triggers in reports
We have introduced a new Notification triggers table in reports, allowing users to view all triggered notifications for a unit. This table enhances control over fleet assets, enabling users to easily review important notifications associated with their vehicles. Additionally, this feature can support Wialon partners in gathering data for client billing.

New tasks counter in the main menu
To ensure timely user notifications about new tasks, we have added a special indicator to Wialon’s main menu. When the user logs into the system, an indicator displaying the number of new tasks will appear next to the tab name. Subsequent new tasks created or assigned to the user while they are outside the Tasks tab will be added to the displayed count.

The counter is triggered for tasks with the statuses “New” and “To do” and respects the filters configured on the Tasks tab. This means the counter will not update if a task does not match the selected filters. If the user interacts with a new task card, the indicator will update accordingly. Once the user opens the Tasks tab, new tasks are marked as read, resetting the counter to 0.

Please note that if a user changes an existing task’s status to "To do" or "New" while viewing the task card, the counter won’t be triggered.

Task markers on the map
Now, when a user opens a task card, a marker is displayed on the map to indicate the location where the corresponding event occurred. This simplifies working with a specific task via the task card by providing quick and easy access to the event's location.

Note that in case the event has no associated location, the marker will not be displayed.

Automatic link generation in notifications for convenient video sharing
We’ve introduced a new feature that allows users to automatically share videos via generated links. To use this feature, simply add the %video_link% tag to notification templates (compatible with emails, SMS, etc.). The links remain active for 48 hours and can be viewed directly in a browser. The system will notify viewers if the video is still uploading or if there is an issue with the file. This eliminates the need for manually downloading and sending video files — once templates are set up, links are sent automatically, saving valuable time.
