The Log Out button on the WorkPlan Home screen has been replaced by a User button , which allows you to log out and manage multiple co-drivers and WorkPlan users using the same device. (Applicable only to customer accounts with the co-driver option.)
The vehicle selection list now shows whether there is a WiFi or Bluetooth connection to the vehicles in the vehicle selection list and orders the vehicles in the list firstly by signal strength, secondly by proximity, and thirdly alphabetically by name.
You now have the option to upgrade the Hours of Service module to use WorkPlan as an electronic logging device (ELD) to help with ELD compliance. If you use Hours of Service version 3.2 you get the following improvements:
o
Engine speed is used to detect whether a vehicle is in motion or not. For non-ELD compliant users it is still possible to detect vehicle motion using GPS, but engine speed is used in preference.
o
Improved recording of HOS events, such as engine on and off, vehicle motion detection, status changes and violations.
o
An Inspector mode that can be used by road side inspectors to view HOS logs and other details in a simplified, read-only interface.
Drivers are required to add mandatory comments when adding or editing an event.
o
Drivers are permitted to add comments to events that may not be edited.
o
A notification is displayed when drivers who are using the Federal 60 or Federal 70 rule sets complete their required 30 minute rest break.
o
The Info link on the HOS Status screen has been removed, because this information is no longer relevant.
o
The Kiosk Settings have been moved from the Info screen to the Actions menu on the HOS Status screen. (Applicable only to standalone versions of Hours of Service running in a web browser.)
o
It is now possible for users (usually administrators) to sign HOS logs without having a vehicle assigned.
Improvements have been made to the HOS log certification process.
