INTRODUCING OUR BRAND-NEW REPORTING SYSTEM

We are upgrading our reports to a significantly better data and analytics system. This has been available for a brief period as a beta for some customers. Now, we are making the improved reports available for all our users who have access to the Reports screen. You’ll notice the following improvements:

  • Faster reports: Quicker data retrieval means more efficient decision-making.
  • Enhanced customization: You can easily configure reports to suit your specific business needs.
  • Advanced analytics: You’ll be able to gain deeper insights with sophisticated, user-friendly tools.
  • A streamlined interface: You’ll navigate through a more straightforward and intuitive user experience. This is the launch screen:
     
    Note: You can access this screen by clicking  and then Analytics & Reports on the flyout menu that appears.
     
  • Scalable capabilities: As your business grows, our engine adapts, handling larger data sets with ease.
  • Improved results:  You can return data for more assets and larger date ranges, and the filters provide more control to get just the information you want.
  • All the data you need: All the reports you are used to are still available, with the same names.

RESOURCES FOR TRAINING
 
You can find help articles on how to run, schedule, and customize the new reports at Using the New Reports System.
 
You can register for a webinar with live training on the new reports at CalAmp New Analytics & Reporting.
 
In addition, you can find a video walkthrough of the new upgraded reports offering at CalAmp Application Analytics & Reports. (This video shows the reports view in the CalAmp application, not CTC Admin, but the steps are the same.)

Caution: Currently, both report platforms are available, but the legacy reports will be sunsetted on February 29. This means that beginning in March, you will be able to run reports using the new platform only.

UPLOADING AND DOWNLOADING FILE RELEASE NOTES WITH THE SAME EXTENSION

We previously added the ability to upload release notes with text that provides information about the file using the Release Notes section of the Add/Edit File dialog box; however, when the release notes were downloaded, the file would have a .notes extension, regardless of the format it was uploaded with. Now, if the file is uploaded as a PDF (for example), it will be downloaded as a PDF.


ADDED AN ACCOUNT COLUMN TO THE ADMIN - GROUPS SCREEN

On the Admin - Groups screen, we added a new column, Account, which will show which account the group belongs to. This column will be displayed by default.


ADDED A VEHICLE PROFILE COLUMN TO THE DEVICES SCREEN

On the Devices screen, we added a new column, Vehicle Profile, which will show whether the vehicle is using a test or production vehicle profile.
