Introduction

This document provides information about new features and modifications in release v3.2 of the Trimble® AllTrak™ Cloud software, which was deployed to the alltrak.trimble.com site on March 29, 2019.

New Features and Improvements in Version 3.2

Automatically Email Delivery Notes

A copy of the Transfer Delivery Notes can automatically be emailed to employees who will become responsible for any items in the transfer.

1. The Enable Email Notifications setting must be turned on in the Company Settings | General Settings page.

2. For an employee to receive the Delivery Notes via the automatic email, the Delivery Note must be checked on the Email tab of the Edit Employee popup.

3. When tools are transferred, employees who are listed as responsible employees for tools in the transfer cart will receive an email with the Delivery Notes PDF file attached.

The email subject line will read: “Delivery Note”.


The Body of the email will read:

Dear Sir/Madam,

Asset(s) have been transferred to your responsibility, see the attached Delivery Note for the details.

Transfer Cart Changes

A Task code field has been added to the Transfer Cart.

The task code field is shown at the bottom of the Transfer Cart on the AllTrak Cloud Web Browser client and on the Transfer Details screen in the Mobile Transfer workflow.

An alphanumeric code up to 20 characters can be entered in the field

The Task Code will be printed on the Delivery Notes

Task Code can be added as a column to Asset Transfer History Reports

Task Code is a column on the Raw Data tab of the Excel version of the Asset Charge Reports.

Selected Item Count

The summary line at the bottom of the grid displays will now show how many items have been selected in the grid. This enables a user to select items in the grid and scroll the grid to view more items and still keep track of how many have been selected.

AllTrak Cloud Mobile New Features & Improvements

A new version of the mobile app will be available within a few days from the v3.2.1 deployment date (March 29, 2019) for download from the Google Play store for Android devices and the App Store for iOS devices.

AllTrak Cloud Mobile Home Screen Changes

The Home screen on the AllTrak Cloud mobile app has been modified to accommodate the new Field Request feature. The overview section of the home screen has been reduced to increase space for the new feature. The new layout is shown below.

Home Screen Changes

3. Settings Click on Settings to view and modify the mobile app settings.

Note: Users may need to log out of the mobile app and log back in after installing the update in order to access the Request workflow.


Mobile Field Request

The Field Request feature enables a mobile user to build a list of tools needed in the field and email the list to a worker in the warehouse. The requested list of required tools will also include the location, the date the tools are required and the employee who requires the tools. The expected return date and notes can also be added to the request.

Requests are saved on the device enabling the request to be forwarded in case the recepient did not receive it or was out of the office that day. Previous requests can also be copied and modified as a new request. A label can be added to generated requests to make it easier to find a desired request. Individual requests or all requests upto a selected date can be deleted from the history list to keep the list managable.
