We've recently launched a range of maintenance categorization features to enable fleet managers to collect and analyze standardized maintenance data. Now, it's easier than ever to access quick, actionable insights from these features with Fleetio's four, new widgets that help you identify categorical maintenance trends across your fleet. The Category Codes by Usage, System Codes by Usage, and Reasons for Repair widgets offer a quick glance at the top three most used VMRS codes for each category, providing a way for users to investigate and take action through the Maintenance Categorization Summary report. Finally, the Uncategorized Service Tasks widget draws your attention to the top-used, uncategorized Service Tasks - allowing you to categorize those tasks with a couple of clicks.

You can now organize and find the reports you need with:

We've added the following four new columns to the vehicle index for customers with telematics integrations:

• Telematics Device
• Telematics Device Serial Number
• Telematics Device Type
• Telematics Device VIN

From the index, select the gear icon, then Manage Columns to bring up the available columns.

• LIFO: Last-In First-Out, assumes that the last or most-recent unit to arrive in inventory is sold or used first, with the older inventory left over at the end of the accounting period. 
• FIFO: First-In First-Out, assumes that the first unit making its way into inventory, or the oldest inventory, is sold or used first. 

Make your inventory valuation method selection on the account settings page. Learn more in the Help Center.

The latest sensor data release brings a vehicle's fuel level, battery voltage, ignition status, tire psi (if available), and more to the Vehicle Overview.

This new view automatically updates as Fleetio gets fresh values from a connected vehicle. Now, all you have to do is go to the Vehicle Overview to check the last time the vehicle was operated, as well as the battery voltage or DEF level (for applicable vehicles).

If you have customized the overview layout, you can find this new card by selecting Personalize, then Manage Overview Layout.

Sensor data is available to Fleetio customers with a Samsara, Geotab Pro, and Geotab Pro Plus plan, and specific sensor values will vary based on the year, make, and model of the vehicle.

Fleetio is now displaying real-time sensor data on the vehicle page for Geotab and Samsara integration customers.

This new capability unlocks the power to investigate what condition the vehicle was in at the exact moment a fault was triggered, or monitor driver safety by viewing seatbelt status or road speed (if available).

If sensor data is available in your account, you'll be able to add a new Telematics tab to your vehicle page. This is where you'll be able to select up to four sensor values at a time and view them in a variety of configurations.

Right now, sensor data is only available for Samsara, Geotab Pro, and Geotab Pro Plus integration customers. Telematics devices, vehicle year, and vehicle make can affect which sensor values are available in Fleetio. View the video above or read more in the Help Center for tips on using the new chart.

With this release, we also added sensor values as columns on the Vehicle list. These columns will show the last live data point, which is in real-time, so you can track fuel level, battery voltage, and more as your vehicles hit the road every day.

Owners and Administrators can now require that Custom Fields be completed by Users whenever they edit or create a Record in Fleetio. This added functionality helps fleets ensure that their data records are complete and trustworthy.  

How to Implement Required Custom Fields

Required Custom Fields can be managed in the Custom Fields section in Account Settings.

Before setting a Custom Field as required, we recommend reviewing the special rules that apply to Required Custom Fields with APIs, Imports, and Add-in Bulk tools. Refer to the Help Center for more details.
