Planning

Create Runs Based On Fleet and Driver Availability 4004

New

We’ve added the ability to create empty, availability-based runs on the Advanced Planning screen in Stream. Classed as “Shell Runs”, this option will create a series of runs based on the Vehicles and Drivers available (and the Vehicle Type selected) on a given date. Stream will also use the ‘Usual Driver’ field from the vehicle to assign the drivers to the runs.

You can generate these ready-to-fill runs by going to Actions > Shell Runs in the ‘Runs’ section of the Advanced Planning screen, and once these are created you can add your unplanned orders to the runs as normal.

Mobile App

Show Item Notes in the Mobile App 4017

Improvement

We’ve added individual item notes into the mobile app to be visible on both the ‘Items’ screen for a stop, as well as the ‘Scan Items’ pop up when using the scanning functionality in the mobile app (highlighted in blue text as shown in the screenshots below)

Show Password on Login Screen 3642

Improvement

We’ve added the ability to show/hide the characters that have been typed into the password field in the mobile to help users enter their password correctly before submitting.

Remove the ‘Part Delivered’ Option 4219

Improvement

We’ve added an option to remove the ‘Part Delivered’ and ‘Part Collected’ options, which appear in the dropdown menu when processing items in the mobile app. The option to remove these can be turned on from the ‘Mobile App’ tab on the ‘Settings’ screen.
