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.
