2011.6 Release Notes: GPS, Asset Profile Image, Customizable Identifier, New Icons and more...

Released: August 30th, 2011

We are excited to share the details of our 6th release of 2011.

GPS
When using a Windows Mobile Device with GPS Field ID can capture the GPS Coordinates of where an asset is identified and where an event was completed. To enable GPS Capture go to Setup > Settings > System Settings.

Enabling GPS Capture will tell your mobile devices to try and capture GPS coordinates for all assets added on the mobile and all events completed. If GPS information is recorded you will see it both on the asset profile page and when viewing the completed event.

New Icons
In an upcoming Field ID release we have not only redesigned the look of the icons but are expanding the available selection. Here are what the new icons will look like:



Password & Security Policy 
When you login to your Field ID account you will now see a new tab under Setup called Security. You now have the option of controlling the Password and Account Lockout Policy for your account.

The Password Policy will allow you set the required complexity of the passwords for all of your users. This can match your corporate policy.

The Account Lockout Policy will allow you to set how many unsuccessful login attempts will lock the users account and how long the account is locked for.

Configurable Serial Number
Each asset added to Field ID must have a primary identifier. This identifier by default is called a Serial Number. You have the option of changing the name and format of the primary identifier as well as setting up overrides for specific asset types. To get started to to Setup > System Settings > Settings and look for Identifier Format.
