RecovR Release Notes

🔎 Search Sales by Tag ID

You can now find a sale by its Tag ID instead of working backwards through the list to figure out which sale a tag belongs to.

• Type a Tag ID into the quick-search box and the matching sale comes straight up
• Tag ID is available as a column filter, so you can narrow the Sales list down to a single tag

🐛 Fixed

• Key warranty errors no longer overwrite the vehicle warranty ID on a sale, so a successful vehicle warranty record stays intact even when the key side fails
• Warranty error messages now name the right product, so a key warranty problem no longer shows up as a vehicle warranty error
• Warranty registration no longer runs on products that are not set up for it, which clears the errors it was throwing on those sales
• Vehicle details fill in more reliably when you add or pair a vehicle — if the VIN decoder is busy or turning requests away, RecovR falls back to a second source instead of leaving the fields blank

‍

📄 Contracts Print With Trademark Symbols in the Name

A ® or similar symbol in a make, model, or trim could stop a contract printing altogether. Those symbols are cleaned up when the vehicle is created, and the forms will not accept them going in, so the paperwork comes out the first time you ask for it.

✅ Improvements

• VIN decoding fallback — NHTSA vPIC API added as an automatic fallback when ClearVIN fails or times out on a 500

‍

🐛 Fixed

• Timestamps on position history are readable again on the map, rather than squashed into a minimized pop-up
• Selecting and deselecting rows in tables works properly, including the button that clears the whole selection — and you can now pin a column to the left or right so it stays put while you scroll across

‍

🚗 Add a Vehicle Even When the VIN Lookup Is Down

Creating a vehicle leaned on an outside service to read the VIN for you. When that service had problems you were stuck — and the message on screen said a VIN was required even though you had just typed one in.

• If the lookup cannot be reached, you can carry on and enter the vehicle details yourself instead of waiting for it to come back
• The message now tells you whether the VIN is actually missing or the lookup simply could not read it, so you know which problem you are solving

📍 Fewer Gaps in Where Your Vehicles Are

Some locators could quietly stop reporting their position for a stretch, which left holes in the map and in a vehicle's history. They report reliably again, so what you see should match where things actually are.

🐛 Fixed

• The Tag ID fills itself in when you unpair a tag from a key, instead of making you type it out for a tag that is already paired
• The button reads Unpair when you are removing a key, rather than still saying Pair
• Product offering names read the same whether the offering was set up for you or you created it yourself — each one carries the location and the term length

‍

🧾 Re-Contracted Sales Stay Complete

When you change something on a sale that already exists — a customer's email address, the products sold — your system voids the original and writes a new one right behind it. If those two arrived close enough together, RecovR could handle them in the wrong order and leave you looking at a Voided sale where a completed one should have been.

• Re-contracting now lands as a completed sale every time, whether you use Darwin's Re-Contract button or void and recreate the sale yourself
• Sales that go through the portal and sales that come in through PEN both behave the same way, so you are not checking one against the other

🐛 Fixed

• A Tag Only sale no longer shows an error in the Vehicle Warranty ID field when there was no warranty on the sale to begin with — the field stays clean instead of flagging a problem that was not there
• Trying to pair with a locator or vehicle that belongs to a sibling location now gives you the right message, so you can tell what actually went wrong rather than guessing
• Keys term length now reads in years, matching how term length appears everywhere else on a sale
