With this week's releases, we're continuing to make great strides in our Maintenance Shop integration.

Detailed Shop Instructions on Fleetio Go (Android Only)

Now drivers can select vehicles from the instructions screen, which includes the VIN and current meter, so drivers can feel more prepared when dropping off or picking up vehicles. The instructions for shop employees who might be unfamiliar with Fleetio were also revamped to speed up the transaction process.

Currently, this is only available for Android devices, but iOS devices will get a similar update soon.

Categorized Shop Directory List in Fleetio Web and Fleetio Go

View trend counts for monthly Issue totals and the average time it takes to resolve Issues with the new dashboard widget. It pulls data from the Time to Resolve totals, so it's most accurate by adding a timestamp to Issues. 

Enable the new widget by selecting Manage Widgets on your dashboard.

We're introducing two new export options that will reduce CSV formatting and provide more consistency in our exporting processes.

Export visible columns

This new option will export only the visible columns in the index, so the CSV will match what you see in Fleetio.

Export all columns

This works traditionally like the legacy export, but it may include a few columns that were previously not available.

We also worked on introducing consistency among column headers and labeling exported data a little clearer.

While these options are initially only available for the Fuel History index, we plan on rolling out these new export options to every index in the near future. Once that happens, the legacy export option will be retired.

Now, when someone comments on a record that you're watching, you can reply directly from the Notification Center. Once you reply, other watchers will be notified based on their permissions. 

We're starting the week with a couple of notable releases for the Maintenance Shop Integration (MSI).

Configure permissions for Regular Users to access the Shop Integration Overview

We added a Shop Integration section to Roles, where you can manage which portions of the overview you want a user to see. This could be helpful if your accounting team is in Fleetio and needs access to statements.

Save your billing application progress

If you start filling out an MSI application and leave to complete another action in Fleetio, you won't lose your application progress. Curious about the application process or how to start using MSI?

After looking under the hood and checking a few things, we made some improvements to Purchase Orders.

With this update, you can:

• Add multiple line items before choosing a part. Select the wrong part? Replace it with the right one without having to delete anything and add a new line item.
  
  
• Create a copy of a Purchase Order. This will open a draft copy so you can edit smaller details, such as quantity, without having to create a whole new PO with the same vendor and location information.
• View Purchase Order information at-a-glance. We refreshed the PO screen and separated the PO details from line items.

Pro tip: Hover over a line item to view its summary. For parts, that includes total quantity and manufacturer.

Keycafe is a key management system designed for fleet vehicle access control.  Using their modular electronic locker system, managers can grant or revoke key access at any time and get updates when keys are late or not picked up on time.

With this new integration, when an operator is assigned a vehicle in Fleetio, key permissions can automatically create in Keycafe and access instructions are sent to the driver.

Because a webhook is needed for setup, this integration is only available to those with a Fleetio Advanced Plan.
