What's New in WeighComp?

WeighComp Mobile App

Release Date: 1/10/22

Enhancements

• App device can now connect to PULSE via Ethernet (Version 2.5.2): Users can now use an Ethernet cable to connect their WeighComp app device to the PULSE server. Previously, users could only use Wi-Fi or cellular to connect their devices to the server.
• Improved ability to enter empty truck weight (Version 2.5.2): Previously, the Empty weight field was partially hidden by the keyboard if certain settings were enabled. Now, the Empty weight field is fully visible and no longer blocked if the keyboard is enabled.
• Added ability to remove "Not legal for trade" and "Driver Signature" from spot load tickets (Version 2.5.2): Users now have the option to remove the text "Not legal for trade" and "Driver Signature" from printed tickets for spot load transactions. On the WeighComp app's Settings page, users can toggle the optional text ON or OFF:



• Duplicate tickets are no longer sent to PULSE (Version 2.5.2): Additional safeguards have been added to prevent the system from sending duplicate tickets to PULSE.
• Added ability to create harvest loads while offline (Version 2.5.2): When the WeighComp app device is not connected to the internet, users can now create loads. When the app device reconnects to the internet, the system will automatically send the created loads to PULSE.
• Improved Harvest summary information (Version 2.5.2): The load summary information now syncs with PULSE so if any harvest load changes are made in PULSE, the WeighComp app updates to reflect those changes. Additionally, a connection status indicator was added to show the user if the WeighComp app is connected to PULSE and all data is up-to-date or if the WeighComp app is not connected to PULSE and the system will show the last time the data was updated :



• WeighComp now syncs every five minutes (Version 2.5.2): Previously, the WeighComp app would sync automatically in the background, but only when the user navigated to the WeighComp app home screen. Now, the WeighComp app syncs in the background every five minutes when the user is using any WeighComp app screen. This ensures that the data in the WeighComp app will always be synced with the data in PULSE.
• Display improvements throughout the WeighComp app (Version 2.5.2): Numerous edits — such as button appearances, color settings, font sizes, and alignment corrections — were implemented in the WeighComp app to improve usability.
• Updated Spanish number separators for U.S. dairies (Version 2.5.2): For U.S. dairies that use the WeighComp app in Spanish, users will now see numbers separated by a comma instead of a period. For example, users will see 1,000 (not 1.000) to denote one thousand.

Bug Fixes

• Multiple Confirm button taps no longer create multiple transactions (Version 2.5.2): Previously, when a user tapped the Confirm button multiple times, the system would process each button tap and create multiple instances for a single transaction. The same transaction for entering weights, pickups, or deliveries would display multiple times on the WeighComp app and PULSE. Now, the system will recognize only the first button tap and the transaction will only appear once.
• Fixed scrolling for vendors list (Version 2.5.2): Fixed an issue where the user was unable to scroll down the vendors list on the Forgot the name you added? page:



• Harvest status now updates after creating a load (Version 2.5.2): When a user creates a new load for a new harvest, the system will now automatically change the harvest's status from "Not started" to "In progress."
• Corrected empty weight values for Spanish users (Version 2.5.2): Fixed an issue where the system would display incorrect empty weight values during harvest loads. The value would not match empty weight values entered during Truck setup.
• Fixed Transactions page filter issue (Version 2.5.2): When users would filter their transactions by user name and by vendor, the system would still display vendors that were added by a different user. Now, users can apply the filters and the system will only display transactions that are created for the selected vendor and entered by the selected user:



• Improved spot load card appearance for Spanish users (Version 2.5.2): Spanish spot load cards now have a space between the Proveedor (Supplier) field and the supplier's name.
• Corrected language change for Filter by vendor (Version 2.5.2): Fixed an issue where the app would display the Filter by vendor text in the wrong language after the user changed the language from English to Spanish or vice versa.
• Fixed crash issue (Version 2.5.2): Fixed a crash issue where an updated version of the app would crash when any changes were made.
