PASS v19 contains a number of general functional and user interface improvements.

Items with a * were introduced (partly or in whole) in maintenance releases of previous versions.

Updated

  • In the Workstation, the following updates have been made:
    • Previously, Max OBT Factors could only be accessed through the Schedule Administrator, now it is available in the workstation, under File > Ancilliary Data > Para > Service.
    • Trapeze Messenger can no longer be accessed in the Tools menu.
    • Previously, Geocoded results could only be reviewed in the Batch Geocoder tool. Now, for more flexibility, Geocoded results are also outputed to a separate file with the format: BatchGeocodeResult_yyyymmdd_hhmmss.txt.
    • In Polygon Definition, the Copy Polygon dialog box now has a select all function, which allows you to select all Polygons for a Polygon Type.
    • Disability Type and Mobility Aids are now displayed in the following PASS screens:
      • Trip Administrator
      • Schedule Editor
      • Schedule Booking Wizard *
    • Workstation can now reload properties without restarting. Previously, whenever system or profile proporties were changed, the workstation required a restart for changes to take effect.
    • Trapeze Report Wizard (Tools > Report Wizard) can now show user-defined schedule statuses that are enabled. *
    • You can now flag ParaService Types with Access Points: Bed, Curb and Door in the following areas:
      • In Task > Clients, in the ParaService Types tab, there is an AccessPoint column added to the table.
      • In File > Ancillary Data > Para > Service > Paraservice Types, an AccessPoint column is added.
    • A PUSH_ALL option is added to the Notification combo boxes in Task > Clients, in the Misc tab, and Task > Trip Booking, in the Supplementary Data tab. PUSH_ALL enables general push notifications for various notification types.

    • In Settings > Jobs, jobs can now be exported and imported in the Agent Job Management screen. *
    • A PolygonConverter tool is created to import PASS polygons to TripSpark Passenger Portal. PolygonConverter takes database info related to PASS polygons and outputs it to a .json file, this will save you time from manually redrawing PASS polygons

New

A CheckList Results dialog will display checklist responses, as well as, forward checklists to the appropriate agency personnel. CheckList Results dialog can also be opened from Dispatching, Dispatch Center, and Schedule Editor.

    In the Actions and Selections pane, you can update the bookings that are related to the stop.
