Release 2025.3 is out now!

For our first major release of the year, we decided to tackle a plethora of smaller issues and new features to improve the overall quality and usability of our platform. In this newsletter we will highlight a few of these improvements!

Alerts

For many of our customers, alerts are the primary source of information and the first thing to look at when something unexpected happens. That is why we decided to add alert status filtering to the alerts dropdown in our UI.

We have also added device (GPS) location to the alert list in Headquarters, making it easier to spot where an alert originates from.

Device locations

As many of you might know, we can use the Google Maps API to set device locations in Collactr. On top of that, we have a GPS data type that can assign a device location directly from incoming data points. While this setup is logical, it can sometimes be confusing when working with multiple devices that have different location types (manual input, GPS) in the same Collactr environment.

That's why we've added more detailed information to both the Device Details page and the device edit slideover.

The Device Details page now shows a GPS icon in front of the device's location to indicate that this location originates from a GPS data point. Underneath that, it also shows when that GPS location was last updated.

Note: this bottom text does not show for devices with a manually set location.

The device edit slideover now shows a map with a preview of your device's (new) location, which is especially helpful when manually assigning a new device location.

In response to customer feedback, we've also made it possible to manually change the latitude and longitude of a device directly, without having to pull an exact address from the Google Maps API.

Note: if a device has a GPS data point that controls it's location, these settings will be read-only.
