What's New?

Description

This release introduces a significant update to location tracking. You should notice your resource routes are now far more accurate.

  • Location tracking in vehicles now matches actual roads—"straight-line" routes now indicate either a device issue or a user behavior issue.

  • Location tracking while walking is greatly improved.

  • Resources are now actively notified when location tracking is active on both Android and iOS.

  • Android also informs the user what level of tracking is active and the reason why it is enabled.

  • Android users can pause tracking by clicking the link in the notification.

These improvements will allow us to incrementally add new features based on accurate location data.

Refer to The Skedulo Mobile App: Location Tracking.

You will now see notifications for jobs that are outside of the apps cached window, i.e., a job scheduled more than 90 days from the current date. Canceled and deleted jobs will also now show more data.

Note: You will not be able to access a job's details until they are 90 days or less (from the current date).

We have made some user interface (UI) changes to the "Offers" view. Previously there were four views accessible via a drop-down menu (Open, Claimed, Declined and Expired), now there are three which are accessible via navigation tabs: Open, Successful, Expired.

Job offers now also display the location of the job on the offer card.

Refer to The Skedulo Mobile App: Job Offers.

We have made several accessibility UI updates in this release, including:

  • Time pickers now read out the selected time in accessibility mode.

  • We have updated the "Create" menus (via the "plus" button) to be more accessible.

  • We have fixed the "Job Details" view where the start time and end times were not in the correct spot in the voiceover flick order.

  • The date and time picker controls no longer report non-existent custom actions.

While viewing a job's details, we now provide some visual feedback to the user each time the workflow action button (the green button) is tapped—the button text will dim (gray) temporarily while the job status changes.

Refer to The Skedulo Mobile App: Job Workflow.

Issues Resolved

Description

We've fixed a problem with the distance measurements shown in the agenda view. We were displaying too many numbers after the decimal point when it should only be displaying two numbers!

We've fixed a search issue. While searching for an address, the results were not being correctly filtered based on your location.

We have fixed a problem where the main menu would not open after viewing a push notification.

We have improved the notification (red dot) on the hamburger menu icon. Now it doesn't forget the notifications you've read when you restart the app.
