  • Users can now specify a FedEx or USPS Package Type when configuring domestic and Army Post Office (APO) shipments. When selected, rates are only returned from the carrier that supports the Package Type. Note that the chosen Package Type is applied to all items in a multipack shipment.
  • A new App setting, Show Weigh Button, controls the visibility of the WEIGH option in the Personal Shipping App. Note that it defaults to True. See App Settings for detail.
  • All addresses are now saved with the Address Book Type Personal Shipping, and can only be viewed in the Personal Shipping App. Note that permission to access the Personal Shipping Address Book is granted to all users and cannot be removed. See Address Book for detail.
  • When shipping to APO addresses the International screen is now included in the Personal Shipping workflow, enabling users to configure the required content items for the shipment.
  • Added tooltips to the Personal Shipping App providing information on fields in the workflow.
PROD-1795 SF25716 Personal Shipping App. Updates to rate handling. Rates returned by the Personal Shipping App are now based on the rate configuration in use throughout Transtream. For example, if a carrier is configured to use a Carrier List Rate, this will be used when retrieving rates in the Personal Shipping App.

PROD-1778 - Product Architecture. CargoWise One Integration. CargoWise One is now supported in Transtream shipping Apps.
PROD-1887 - Apps. Local storage can now be cleared. Any App data retrieved via the PierbridgeListRequest is now cached for an hour.

This is done via a new option in the Support tray, Clear Local Storage, or using the keyboard shortcut Alt and F5. To use the Support tray method, you must be operating with the Support Button Visible setting enabled, configured in the All Settings page of the Administration App's Data tab. See Support for detail. The link is to the Warehouse App content, but the functionality is common across all Apps.
PROD-1702 - SAML. Improved error handling of redirect URLs. If an error occurs when navigating to a configured redirect URL, a parameter passed with the request now captures detail on the error to assist users with troubleshooting.
