The TripShot product team released admin web new capabilities to the UI of zone basic builder, parking functionality, as well as admin web improvements including a better viewing experience to display Route Group and updating which Vehicles and Associated Rides are Populated in GTFS-RT VehiclePosition.

iOS Updates

Rider App - 2023-08-01

Improve
  • Replace usage of secondary display names with advertised display names in the rider app. Instead of secondary display names, we want to instead use advertised names. This allows us to only show advertised names in the public instance picker, and continue to use the display name in the drawer. This ticket is going to basically replace altDisplayNames with a new property called advertisedDisplayNames. Note that these will only show up if the system is configured as public.

Android Updates

Web Updates

Admin Web - 2023-08-11

New
  • Zone Basic Builder UI. Admin users utilizing the Parking functionality now have the ability to manually create Zones within a new UI tool.  Within the existing Parking tab, there is a new section called ‘Parking Spaces’, where a photo of the lot can be added, and a new button called ‘Basic Builder’, where a user can manually add the zone for a new or existing Parking lot.
  • Update Parking Lot Form. No flags associated with this change however it's hidden behind the Parking instance flag. Note: This currently only impacts Expedia and Google and both have been notified and CSMs made aware. Summary: With anticipation of Parking Space Mapping work, we’ve updated some UI components of the existing Parking Lot form that adds titles, and reorganization fields as updating the zone builder in the basic parking functionality. Updated UI: New Parking Lot form: Added titles and reorganization of fields, Details, Location, Renamed Location field to Coordinates,  Hours.
Improve
  • Add name property to InternalRouteGroupDetails JSON. Updating to display Route Group for a better viewing experience.
  • Create /v1/shared/route/{routeId}/live endpoint. Adding a new endpoint to strip the display of unnecessary data.
  • Update which Vehicles and Associated Rides are Populated in GTFS-RT VehiclePosition. Currently, we send vehiclePosition for all active or canceled rides. This means, that if a vehicle has a completed ride after a canceled one, we show the trip details for the last canceled ride. This is incorrect as we would prefer always to show the current or last ride the vehicle is on/ completed. With this release the new logic is as follows: Always choose the active ride the vehicle is currently on. If there isn’t any, show the next scheduled trip. If there isn’t any of those, show the last completed OR canceled trip.
  • User Ride Class should auto-populate in User Ride Request entry form. This will use the default ride class from the user profile when creating a new request.
  • Simple Tool to set instance configuration. Allows a user to set instance flags and other properties on the instance table to reduce engineering task tickets. Note: This is an unmanaged right and must be granted the right by engineering.
  • Update UI for GTFS Source field. Adding additional field for GTFS Source. Include Route_URL to GTFS feeds. We currently capture Route_URL in the new Planner but don’t support this in our traditional route editor screen.  This improvement is to add Route_URL in the traditional editor and include it in our GTFS feeds. Include tts_stop_name in GTFS feeds. Currently, we do not include tts_stop_name in our GTFS feeds. This is a property of a Stop. This improvement is to have a space where Admins can enter these fields in and then to include this into the GTFS feeds.
  • Support mapping badge to multiple namespaces. Currently, a badge can only be mapped to a single (namespace, name) pair. However, we have a need to have a badge map to multiple names. In the case of Amazon, this is both an email alias and an employee ID.

Admin Web - 2023-08-24

Improve
  • 2023 Pen-Test: Vertical Privilege Escalation. The business logic for admin users and their permissions has been improved via the following: Non-Admin users are no longer able to reset the password / credentials / permissions of an Admin user. Admin users with the ability to ‘Update Others’ Principle Rights’ will be permitted to update other users’ password / credentials permissions.
  • Add Parking Pay and Website URLs - backend. Adding ability to display Web and Pay url’s to Riders.
  • Endpoint allowing to create a Valet Service. Creates an endpoint that will allow creation of a Valet Service.
  • Hide API keys within Parking. Currently, within TS Admin > Parking > Configure - API keys are shown in clear. After creds are entered, we will now NOT show what the value is but still allow Admin to Reset it (similar to resetting user passwords).
Fix
  • Investigate End Date Parameter in GET/v1/boardingEvent API. Correcting behavior to allow the use of an End Date.
  • Sort badge history in badging tool by time. Correcting sorting behavior. We will nowsort by time in reverse chronological order.
