my.cat.com release notes

May 2020

New Features

May 2020:

  • New “Invite New User” flow 
    • “Invite New User” to My.Cat.Com: From the “Administration > Manage Customer Users” screen, new customer users can be invited to create an online account for My.Cat.com and Cat App. This replaces the current “Add New User” button and provides a simple, updated flow to give customers validated access. Note: Dealer Admins and Customer Admins are the only ones who have access to this feature. Clicking the “Invite New Users” button opens an “Invite New User” modal – where the email address(es) for the invitation(s) can entered, as well as the user role for those being invited, the capabilities they will have, and the DCNs they will be able to access. 
    • “Invitations” tab on “Manage Customer Users”: An “Invitations” tab displays on the “Manage Customer Users” page, where all of the invitations that have been sent are listed. The invitations remain on this tab until the customer takes action, or for 90 days. Once the customer takes action by creating an account their information will be visible on the “Customer Users” tab Each invitation can be edited, cancelled, or resent from the “Actions” drop-down. 
    • Emails sent from “Invite New User” flow: If an invitation is sent to an email address that has no CWS ID tied to it, then the email that is sent is to “Register for My.Cat.Com”. The email contains a link to the “Create your Cat account” page – where the email address is pre-populated with the email address to which the invitation email was sent. Once on the “Create your Cat account” page, the user will be able to complete the process of registering for My.Cat.Com by setting their username and setting a password. If the email address entered for inviting a new My.Cat.Com user is one that is already tied to an exiting CWS ID, then the email that is sent will include the existing usernames for the entered email, and provide a link for the user to “Sign in to My.Cat.Com” – rather than creating a completely new account. If the user has any problems remembering the password associated to the usernames included in the invitation email, they can get help from the “Forgot Password” link on the My.Cat.Com launch page. 
    • Invite New User – “Administrator Initiated Accounts” Report: Admin Users can access a new “Administrator Initiated Accounts” report as an option under “Administration”, to help track the new customers added from the user invitations that are being generated. From this report, the Admin User can see when the new customer account was created, and who created the customer’s account. 
  • Updates to My.Cat.Com password requirements 
    • The requirements for creating a password for My.Cat.Com have been updated for customers to only require 3 of the 4 items (lower case letter, upper case letter, number, or special character), instead of all four. The password requirements for dealer and employee users are not changing, they will still require at least 12 characters, and all 4 of the items. 
  • Two new “Dealership Tasks” reports added
    • There are two new “Dealership Tasks” reports that combine similar dealer task types into a single report to make it easier for a user to gain the information that they need. “All Service Requests” - Combines “Schedule General Service Request”, “Schedule Fault Code Service”, “Schedule GPS Rollover Service”, “Schedule Maintenance Service”, “Schedule Inspection Service” and “Schedule SOS Service”. “All Subscription Requests”

The “Filters” button on the page will show the total number filter categories that current have a filter selected.

Users can now assign an inspection for an asset from the fleet level “Actions” menu for “Fault Codes” and “SOS” items. Those items that display on the “Summary” tab because of an “SOS” or “Fault Code” item will also have the “Assign Inspection” option in the “Action” drop-down on the “Summary” tab.
