Release notes

Release 29th July 2020 29. jul 2020

Activation keys – we are now able to generate software License keys. Users can activate the key in EasyCargo and get the related licenses or tickets assigned to an account. In our online store soon.
Excel import – there is a new option to import the item’s weights column as weight per item (not just as total weight).
Excel import – same items are now being automatically merged together, as users may not know to use the Pieces column and put the items in multiple times instead.

API authentication – there is a new option for authentication, with which the authentication token is not being bound to the caller IP address and so it can be used from any IP address during its validity. Useful for cloud and server farm solutions calling the API.
Terms and Conditions links are now being localized and redirect users to proper language version on the web.

Shipment import – Import zero count items option didn’t correctly remember its last settings. This has been fixed.
Cargo items grid – the dimension/weight filters didn’t work correctly and now they have been disabled (because of the metric/imperial systems incompatibility issues). Ordering functionality is unaffected by this.

Cargo Items database – new functionality that allows users to import their most used cargo items into the application and easily add them into shipments. Management of these items is done on a new Cargo Items tab. In EasyCargo, these items can be simply added by entering part of the cargo item’s name in the editor, and all the item’s properties will be automatically prefilled from the database.
Cargo Items database API is also already available.

Print report new design unification – The Print report got a new visual design, which is the same as the new design used in Step by step report. For backward compatibility, there is a tiny link at the bottom of the report, which opens the report in the old design if needed.
The profile tab title shows just the name of the user and a Settings icon next to it.
API documentation link to a sample API client has been accentuated so developers cannot miss it.

Replaced awful black outlines around active text fields, buttons, etc. caused by new Chrome version 83.
Corrected sizes inside the form of a new Cargo space on the Cargo spaces tab for long-text localizations (Polish and others are now displaying nicely).

Step by Step load plan – click on a Cargo item or a Group in Result panel will jump to a step with a first occurrence of the clicked item.

Step by Step Report – fixed bug where removing loaded items via manual load resulted in the wrong count of loaded item pieces in the Step by Step Report legend.
Top Info panel – fixed bug where Loaded Volume information sometimes reported 0 instead of the actual value.

Default Shipment – users can now set any shipment as default (EasyCargo > Main menu > Save as default shipment). Such shipment will be automatically loaded at startup as a template for the new shipment. The default shipment can be reset by creating a New shipment and saving it as the default.

Adding of new Cargo space is now explicitly divided into two buttons – Add from the catalogue and Create custom cargo space.
Newly created Cargo items and Groups inside imported shipment will continue the imported colour and label sequence until now it started a new sequence from the beginning.
Excel import now supports dimensions from 0.1 cm (was 1 cm) and the import review grid shows the decimal places.
Tiltable and Stackable columns in the import review grid were swapped to reflect the Excel import file ordering.
Rows of grouped shipments with multiple versions are now highlighted on mouseover using a different colour than single version shipments.

View menu on the right for changing current view angle or weight distribution is now scrollable for small monitor resolutions so it no longer overlays the control buttons.

Fixed issue when Result Panel was closed after removing all cargo items in Manual Load mode, which made it impossible to load cargo items manually.
Reintroduced Weight Distribution Disclaimer text at the bottom of the screen, which dropped out in the last Step by Step release.

Order Form – fixed enabling of Go To Payment button on Step 2 after entering VAT number in Firefox & Internet Explorer. Before it remained disabled and the user couldn’t proceed to the payment step.

Step by Step Load Plan – users are able to view a loading sequence of cargo items for any new or existing shipment. It can be viewed interactively in the application and also exported as a report. More in Journal post.
Export to PDF – step by step load plan report can be also saved as PDF including all the images.
All of the functionality is also available through a public link to the shipment.

Dialogue for selecting measurement units on first login – fixed cropping of the text of some long localizations (Deutsch)
