Improvements to school bus module

Release notes – AVLView (ver. 5.2.5)

What changed?

Email is no longer a necessity while adding parents; user credentials (username & password) will be sent via text messages as soon as you create a new parent.

School managements can assign active hours to parents; thereby allowing them to login and monitor trip progress on web/phone apps during school hours.

Active hours for parents on web/phone apps

New alerts

In addition to 20+ school bus alerts, two new alerts have been introduced:– When a student fails to board bus from school for drop off– When a student boards a wrong bus from school for drop off

Revamped Student timesheet report

Student timesheet report turns out more useful with real time updates on active trip. I.e, As soon as a student swipes RFID card, you could view it real time on report. And, most importantly, system identifies if a student fails to get on the bus and gives you an option to mark him/her as absent stopping further notifications which are no longer relevant.
