External release notes – Grasshopper – Version 3.24.08

New Features

• Remove Two-Day Buffer from Manifest ETA
  • We have addressed an issue related to the estimated time of arrival (ETA) for manifests.
  • Currently, the system adds a two-day buffer to the manifest’s arrival date, which has caused confusion among users. This buffer was not aligning with the actual arrival times, leading to discrepancies in scheduling and planning.
  • The two-day buffer has been removed from the manifest ETA calculations. The Order’s screen will now display the exact arrival date of the manifest, providing more accurate and reliable information.

• Add “Location” Column to Orders Item Breakdown Export
  • We are enhancing the Orders Item Breakdown export functionality to support warehouse operations.
  • The “Location” column has been added to the Orders Item Breakdown export. This addition will provide visibility into the location of each item within the warehouse.

• New Driver User: 6-Month Expiration Policy for Mobile Passwords
  • We are implementing a new security policy for driver users to enhance password management.
  • 6-Month Expiration: All new driver users will now be subject to a 6-month expiration policy for mobile passwords. This ensures that passwords are updated regularly to maintain security.

• Enhanced Photo Requirements: New Defaults for POD Statuses
  • We are introducing enhancements to the photo requirements for Proof of Delivery (POD) statuses.
  • New default settings for photo requirements have been defined for various POD statuses. These updates will streamline the documentation process and ensure consistency in photo submissions.

• Service Alert Text for Last Mile Delivery
  • We are addressing issues with the “Service Alert” feedback related to last mile delivery.
  • The text for the service alert will be updated to clearly indicate when it pertains to last mile delivery only, reducing confusion for other types of deliveries.
  • Revised Formatting: The alert message will be adjusted to a more appropriate color, moving away from the red error formatting to better reflect its informative nature.

Bug Fixes

The phone call notifications have been updated to display the delivery window in the correct time zone. Time frames will now accurately reflect the appropriate time zone for CST and EST regions.
