The new LibrarySync enhancements will allow you to manage your drivers’ content more closely and keep it updated as you see fit. We are giving you the power to control what your drivers see and have access to.

Any questions you have about how to send a particular piece of content can be directed to Support@DriverTech.com and we will help you decide how best to deliver it.

How the New DTLibrary Works

Starting with TPC version 5.16, you will be able to provide your drivers library content that is mirrored from your own FTP server (Library Sync will not transfer empty directories and therefore will not show up in DTLibrary). Through FleetWatcher, you will set up your FTP address, and access information. (Currently requires a request to the DT Support Team as this feature is not yet exposed in FleetWatcher.)

...

Using this method, you can move content in and out as needed and your tractors will update their libraries when they connect to a Wi-Fi hotspot. The driver does not even have to be made aware that there is an update available; it delivers without input or request.

Creating Content for the DTLibrary

Preparing content for the Library is easy. If you can work with basic file types and FTP services, you can create and manage your driver’s library. You must first have an FTP site, know how to connect to it and work with folders and files within it.

...

When the unit connects to an available Wi-Fi hotspot, it calls the FTP site so it can mirror what is found there. The system compares the FTP directory to what the Library holds, deletes any content that is no longer on the FTP site, and downloads any content that is not currently in the Library.

The New DTLibrary: In the Cab

The driver interface is simple to navigate. The driver will see a search bar, a list of documents and page information with navigation arrows. The search allows them to look for content without knowing specifically where the file resides within the directory structure as long as they know some part of the friendly name of the file and the arrows allow them to move within the documents list.

The FTP site will look like this:

DriverTech and Rand McNally support can help with questions about the new library features and we can help support your setup of the system. Ultimately, the responsibility for the content and the server is yours.
