Version 23.2 Release Notes (Dispatch)

Warning:

IP Whitelisting: With the 23.2 release, the website that hosts the Dispatch client has changed to use a CDN (Content Delivery Network) for improved availability and performance. As a result of this change, the Dispatch client website no longer uses static IP addresses. If your company previously whitelisted the Dispatch client website via IP address, you must update your firewall to continue downloading and using Dispatch. You may have to whitelist the domain name rather than the IP address. Please contact your IT department responsible for managing your network whitelisting to check if changes are required. Please contact Support if further assistance is required.

Officer Mobile: Based on the architectural changes mentioned above, earlier versions of Officer Mobile will no longer be compatible after this release. With this Core Dispatch release, we are releasing a new version of Officer Mobile that must be downloaded on/after November 7th, to ensure the Officer Mobile application continues to operate.

New Features

Dispatch

  • Improved the dispatch service by replacing middleware with a direct integration and implemented a streamlined architecture, enhancing stability and improving response times.
  • Updated the Delete button on Person log to be visibly darker in color when highlighted on the dispatch details screen, increasing visibility and improved user experience.
  • The Initiated By Person field's search functionality was changed to search for Person records instead of User records. Searching the Core database for Person records allows users to add those records to the Initiated By Person field while creating a new Dispatch.
  • Object Types without the Available in Dispatch field in Core will be set to True, preventing integration issues and allowing an easy sync of data between Core and Dispatch.

Officer Mobile

  • Push Notifications were updated to the latest version, improving reliability.
  • We streamlined the Officer Mobile login process using Resolver credentials (username and password) or the SSO (Single Sign On) feature, depending on your organization's configuration setting.
  • Officers will receive a system-generated notification when another Officer assigns a new task.
  • Resolver Officer Mobile icons: Application, Notification, and Login screen were updated.
  • Officer Mobile APIs were updated to the latest version.
