We've added the following four new columns to the vehicle index for customers with telematics integrations:
From the index, select the gear icon, then Manage Columns to bring up the available columns.

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.
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.
We've launched a new experience to manage telematics devices for customers with native telematics integrations. Now available for owners, administrators, and users with permission to manage devices, this new page is accessible in the Vehicles drop-down menu.
Built to act like other lists in Fleetio, you can now:
In addition to these changes, we also moved the Refresh Devices button to the Integration cards in Account Settings.
Learn more about our telematics integrations and setup in this Help Center article.
Enable the new telematics email to help manage the devices in your integration.
Fleetio's native integrations (integrations we build) automatically map devices to vehicles and assets, but it's not always a guaranteed process after the integration is up and running. If a technician switches out devices but forgets to make an update in Fleetio, you might not have the right data going to vehicles, skewing the information in reports.
With this new email, you don't have to go searching for information on how your integration is performing. Updates go directly to your inbox so you can catch misaligned devices early. Enable it in the Integrations section of your notification settings.

We're excited to announce that Fleetio has introduced VMRS (Vehicle Maintenance Reporting Standards) coding to strengthen and standardize the way you categorize maintenance data. We have added five VMRS code keys to unlock deep insight into trends within your maintenance data, in an easily accessible way for any fleet.
You can now use VMRS codes to categorize your Work Orders and Service Entries on both web and Fleetio Go. Fleetio has preloaded VMRS categorization to all Standard Service Tasks, and now allows you to set default categorization for your Custom Service Tasks as well. Setting default VMRS codes for your Service Tasks will automatically apply that categorization to Work Order and Service Entry line items when used. You can also categorize your line items manually on the fly.
To ensure you can gain insight from categorizing your maintenance data, we’ve introduced two brand-new reports. The Line Item Summary by Vehicle System Report and Repair Priority Class Summary Report. These reports will help you identify the most costly and frequently repaired systems within your assets, as well as how often your services are scheduled vs. non-scheduled.
Let’s take a look at exactly how these VMRS categorization codes break down:
With VMRS data categorization codes, you can now easily categorize and track your vehicle maintenance and repair data. This will help you stay organized and better track your fleet's maintenance needs.
