Feature Enhancements and Adjustments

ID # Description
myAvail Dispatch
Operations: Comms, Datapoint, Dispatch Map

Release myAvail 10 is the final stage of the migration of Fixed Route Dispatching functionality from the myAvail locally installed client to dispatching fully integrated as part of the myAvail ETMS platform. Users will now have a seamless experience from myAvail ETMS to monitor dispatch as there is no longer a second log in screen for dispatching.
Dispatching improvements have been made across Dispatch and Live Map to improve the performance of the pull-out management grid, stabilize the dispatch maps by resolving some errors regarding saving map views and improving the logic around taking and releasing events for improved reliability.
myAvail 10 also includes the pre-release of the new Communications feature in ETMS. This feature consolidates the comms functionality previously managed inside of the Dispatch feature into a dedicated feature in the myAvail ETMS framework.
This feature also includes communication functionality embedded directly on the Live Map to make setting up calls and text communications possible both from a dedicated Communications console or from a bus action card on Live Map. If your agency has interest in piloting this pre-release feature, please reach out to your Account Manager.

The schedule data import tool continues to have minor improvements, particularly in support of Avail’s daily operations software. myStop both web and apps have had some specific bugs resolved that were identified at various customer sites and improvements to GTFS have wrapped for the year with a rebuild of GTFS merge and validation. GTFS validation now follows the standards as defined by the open community moderated by MobilityData. Many customers were experiencing challenges in merging their current and future schedules for a consolidated GTFS file, this effort will resolve that issue as well.

myAvail Work Order Management

Release myAvail 10 introduces the first of many features migrated from the existing EAM and ERP suites that originated with the Fleet-net product line. This feature provides a fully
web-based responsive design that retains the basic workflow from the existing work order management module.
Work orders can now be managed from a central table that’s fully searchable and sortable. Work orders are processed using a tab workflow to provide a guided experience with all relevant information being easily accessible such as defects and warranty information.
Along with this feature migration improvements have been made to streamline the process for printing, add in printing on the inspection checklist, centralize notes and make warranty information readily accessible from the work order screen.
Customers using myAvail for Work Order Management today will be contacted by Avail’s Migration and Adoption team with early adopters starting this spring and all customers having the new functionality deployed by the end of summer.
