This page documents many of the additions and changes included in recent updates made to the OnTime software.
June 25, 2021
- Push notifications can now be scoped to specific customers.
- Workflow notifications that are scoped to customers will now appear under the customer's profile with the name of the notification and the type, i.e., Email, SMS text message, Push Notification, etc.
- Broader support for schedules involving weekends. Previous versions of OnTime defaulted to Saturday and Sunday as days of the weekend. To better support our customers worldwide, OnTime now supports the standard weekend days across 124 countries. For example, Saudi Arabia where the weekend spans Friday and Saturday or Hong Kong where the work week is six days instead of five.

- Customer API. The OnTime REST and SOAP APIs now support limiting access to data associated with a single customer account. Typically API access could span an entire OnTime account, which restricted the use of the API to the OnTime account holder. Now customers can be provided with secured direct access to the API with the data limited to their account only. For more information, see How to Generate a Security Key for Your API: Limit API Access to a Single Customer.
- Support for Swagger UI and definitions for the OnTime REST API. The OnTime REST API complies with OpenAPI standards and can be used with a number of tools to speed up development. Swagger definitions make it easy to create proxies and other strongly typed interfaces. For more information, see Activating Swagger UI and Definitions for the OnTime REST API.

- New option to automatically calculate an optimal number of orders to display within the Tracking view. This option is turned on by default. Previously, a default of the top 500 most recent orders would be displayed. With this version, the performance was improved to allow for the 80,000 most recent records to be displayed without system slow down. The number of records chosen does not affect searches or filters, which will always search all available records.
- Hardware graphics acceleration. To help improve the performance and rendering of large data, OnTime can now take advantage of a video card's processing power. This results in faster and smoother performance across the application. This feature requires a DirectX compatible video card and 64-bit Windows 8, 10, or higher. DirectX graphics acceleration can be disabled from within General Options or Program Options. If the hardware of the PC does not support graphics acceleration, the option will be disabled.

- Route optimization: Instead of manually choosing the order in which driver stops are sorted, the route optimization feature can be used to automatically sort the stops in the best order. Three methods of route optimization are available including Basic (Point-to-Point), Vehicle Route, and Vehicle Route with Time Windows. Each stop is optimized so that all stops can be visited across the shortest possible geographic distance along streets and roads, while prioritizing the arrival time window for each stop. Using an advanced genetic algorithm, geographic distance is measured thoroughly to ensure the best route using live mapping data. The time window assigned to each stop is evaluated to ensure that the driver will arrive at each stop within that time window. This results in a geographic optimization that honors time constraints. Route statistics are enhanced to include accurate estimates of time and distance between each stop based on available mapping data.
