August 2024 Release Notes

TrackAbout Mobile 7

  • Minimum Operating System Version Requirements for TrackAbout Mobile 7

    With this release, the minimum version of operating system supported by TrackAbout Mobile 7 has changed.

    • iOS devices must be using iOS 15.8.2 or later.

    • Android devices must be using Android 7.1 or later.

    TrackAbout Mobile 7 on older operating systems is no longer supported. We recommend keeping iOS and Android devices updated with the latest version of their respective operating systems as soon as they become available for continued support and access to the latest TrackAbout Mobile 7 features.

  • Set Expiration Date — This new TrackAbout Mobile 7 action lets you set the expiration date of product contained in the asset. It was previously only available in TrackAbout Mobile 6.

  • Delivery — You now have the option to collect carrier information in both Delivery (Simple) and Delivery with Integrated Order Sync. This option was previously only available in TrackAbout Mobile 6.

    When this option is enabled, select Common Carrier from the options menu () to bring up Carrier collection. You can select a carrier from a list, or add a new carrier.

    To enable Carrier selection, contact TrackAbout Support.

     

  • Asset Lookup — Units of Measure (UOMs) are now displayed for asset attributes like volume and pressure, if appropriate.

  • Delivery with Integrated Order Sync — If using Electronic Guides (EG), Delivery can now automatically ask you to request a new EG from your guide number provisioning system when more assets are returned than were delivered.

    If a new EG is not immediately available from your provisioning system, you can enter a contingency (temporary) number to use so the delivery can be completed.
