April 2023 Release Notes
Shipping Emissions Reduction App (2023-04-27)
Certification of CO2e emissions calculation and major app improvements
We're proud to share that our carbon engine, Climatiq's Shipping API, has been accredited by the Smart Freight Centre for GLEC compliant calculations of CO2e emissions. Accreditation demonstrates that our app provides accurate and reliable emissions data for your shipping operations.
The Shipping Emissions Reduction App lets you check your shipping emissions compared to your target, explore clusters with high emissions, and identify opportunities to reduce emissions. The new app structure takes you through this flow more intuitively. We've also added more capabilities for this release:
There's a new target tracking section in the cockpit, where you can set specific emissions targets, such as a 10% reduction compared to 2020.
The Action View (an early-stage feature) helps you take actions on outstanding shipments to reduce emissions.
You can specify shipping types in much more detail if you have that information available. For example, rather than just selecting road transport, you can specify a vehicle type, load type, fuel source, and more. The app uses this information to produce even more accurate emissions calculations.
You can use more shipping types in simulations, such as estimating the potential saving in emissions for using LNG trucks instead of diesel trucks.
For the app documentation, see Shipping Emissions Reduction App.
Actions (2023-04-20)
Run Action Flows from Views
Users can now run an Action Flow manually from a button in a View. To set this up, schedule an Action Flow to run “on demand” - which means it’s triggered manually - and define any inputs that users need to provide for it. Then include a button in a table or Profile View where you want to make the Action Flow available. When the user selects the button, they’ll get an input form to provide the inputs, and then the Action Flow runs. For full instructions to set up Actions, see Actions.
Actions (2023-04-11)
Limit of 500 rows for action buttons on tables
There’s now a limit on the number of table rows that you can trigger a skill for at the same time. If you select more than 500 rows, the button to perform the skill is disabled. See Adding Action to Tables and Provide default actions for instructions to set up the buttons.
