Partners can now view selected diagnostics
Trimble Maps partners who use Account Manager on behalf of their customers can now view the following Diagnostics within Account Manager:
CoPilot - Request Action: This allows a partner administrator or support team member to initiate a request to an active CoPilot device to upload logs to help diagnose support issues. Previously, this request was only available for Trimble Maps internal support. Note: While partners can initiate the request, only the Trimble Maps support team can access the CoPilot logs. Partners still need to open a support ticket and work with our support department.
Audits: This feature allows a partner administrator or support team member to review an audit trail of usage in the Account Manager web tool as well as directly with our APIs. Audits include the user and date/time of the request.

During the import process, if one or more vehicles or drivers fails, the user is now presented with options on how to resolve the import error and continue the import or cancel.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed the display of the Edit Asset screen.
- Fixed an issue where imported assets might not display right away until the screen is refreshed.
- Fixed an issue with accounts that use our automatic asset syncing to assign/unassign licenses to assets.
