November 2023
Holistic fleet management in one place. The November release of GpsGate is highlighted by the migration of several SiteAdmin settings into the application. This means improved user experience, and easy platform configuration right within GpsGate.
Premium features Dashboard and Maintenance received some UI enhancements so that fleet managers can efficiently maintain operational control and keep vehicles road-ready.
As always, our team has integrated new devices and platforms to give GpsGate's tracking partners the latest technology.
GpsGate users stay ahead with an updated platform. If you’re using the Fleet App, visit the Google Play and App stores to update. See our November Beta release notes here for all the details!
Migrate SiteAdmin Settings into the platform
Fleet management should be seamless - for system integrators, and end users alike. Moving settings from SiteAdmin into the platform ensures a more streamlined workflow, allowing for settings to be changed right in the UI. No need to leave the application to fine-tune it for fleet customers. If you can't find what you're looking for, navigate to your application and use the search menu to find what you’re after.
Please note: Create and edit functions have moved in-app. These settings are now available directly in applications for SiteAdmin users. Go to any application’s main menu and select Server Administration → Application → Manage Applications.
Here are some highlights from migrating SiteAdmin settings into GpsGate:
- Reprocess Report & Reprocess Tracks were moved from SiteAdmin to Server Administration inside the application
- Stop / Start of the service was removed from SiteAdmin
- Manage Data Providers is still available in SiteAdmin
- The legacy scripting engine was removed. The new scripting engine will be used as the default
- Bing and HERE map settings have been migrated into the application
- "Manage speed queries" under Reporting has been removed from legacy SiteAdmin
