New features
- Affected users:
- Users of Tokens API
- Affected flows:
- Using the API to suspend a single token or suspend multiple tokens
- Description:
We've added a Suspended status for tokens, which allows a token's subscription to continue but stops it from being accepted as valid by any station (private, public, or roaming). This means you can stop your customers from using their token when they fail to pay for their subscriptions, and resume it when they have met their payment obligation. You can change the status for both individual and multiple tokens, depending on your needs.
API ONLY
As the first part of this release, it's only possible to suspend a token using the API. In doing so, its Suspended status appears both in the Cards list and a specific card's Overview tab. The dropdown that you would normally use to change the status of a card isn't fully developed yet for this status, and will be part of a future release. However, if the card is already suspended via the API, you can click the status opposite to its current one to resume the card as needed through the UI. It's advised to use the API if you're unsure.

- Affected users:
- Users of Billing API
- Affected flows:
- Using the API to retrieve transaction data
- Description:
We've added two additional fields to the response body of our transactions endpoint:chargingStartedAt
andchargingStoppedAt
. These values are communicated by the station via OCPP, and they represent the time at which the EV actually started and stopped consuming power from the station. This allows you to calculate the effective charging time for newly generated transactions. It also means you can get insight into idling times, by comparing the effective charging time with the total duration of the transaction. Roaming doesn't communicate the values needed to calculate the effective charging time yet, meaning these values only apply to stations active within your own tenant environment.

Sub-account users with the driver role can now view and edit their account information.

Bug fixes
Users of sub-accounts with the account owner or account admin role were unable to view or edit their account's billing information. This is solved.
Outgoing messages for SMATCH® weren't received by stations. This meant that current restrictions weren't applied as they should have been. This is solved.
When customers signed up for their own account and forgot to complete activation using the link sent to their email, they were unable to reset their password to receive a new link. It also wasn't possible for users with the tenant admin or customer support role to resend them an activation link. This is solved.
Known issues
An error occurs when uploading CDRs to the import tool. The error states that the token isn't public or doesn't belonging to the originating tenant, and shows a different Contract ID than the one in the CDR.
After users edit and save a new email address, it's reverted back to the previous one. Tenant admins can change email addresses for others if needed.
Tenant users who are allowed access to station information see a redundant site checkbox and disclaimer appear on the location tab. This only happens for stations that belong to accounts without any sites.
"OKTA" label
Bug fixes and known issues that are labeled as OKTA only apply to tenants whose user database was migrated to Okta.
