We change the default prepaid top-up limit to 0 (before was unlimited) and delivered general improvements.

What’s new?​

  • Default prepaid top-up limit - Organizations with a prepaid business model and with the ability to top up SIMs will now have the possibility to go directly to the Manage Top-ups page from the sub-organization creation page. Also, we changed the default top-up limit per plan to be zero instead of unlimited which will enable a better control on the connectivity allowance per SIM or sub-organization.

What’s fixed or improved?​

  • Rate Plans on SIM Details page - Users with a Tech User role don't have permissions to check the rateplan history of a SIM and, even though they could not access this information, a link to that page was available in the SIM details page of each SIM. This was causing some confusion to the users and we have removed the buton from the page.

Split the SMS history feature from the Send SMS menu. New location updates events are also now available.

  • Location updates - The location updates screen, available from the SIM details page, was only listing updates based on usage which means that if a SIM card opened a session but didn't generate any payload then no update would be visible. With this change, all location updates will be visible on this screen.

  • SMS history - The SMS history menu was split from the Send SMS one and now has its own entry under "SIM Cards" on the left menu bar of the IoT Portal. With this, both menus are now more accessible and faster to load.

  • Select countries for rules - In the flow for creating or modifying an event rule with a "New country/network" trigger, users were facing an issue after filtering for a country (from the list of available countries) and trying to move it to the selected countries list, frequently a different country was moved instead. This section of the rule flow was improved to always move the selected country.

  • Filter by date calendar in SMS History - The date picker filter option from the SMS history screen was being displayed with a transparent background which made it harder for users to select a date. We have already fixed this and users can now see the date picker correctly.
