What's new in Next-Gen Qualifier

This page provides information on the differences between Next-Gen and Legacy Qualifier.

Key Highlights

Next-Gen Qualifier has a few differences from Legacy Qualifier that you should know about:

  • Omnisearch bar: From the Vehicles page, start typing a VIN, fleet, or other information in the omnisearch bar to quickly find a vehicle. The omnisearch bar also appears on the Trips page and the Analytics page.
  • Automatic AC-Graph multifile mode: If a trip has multiple trip detail files, AC-Graph will open in multifile mode automatically.
  • Global filter drop-down: The drop-down in the upper right corner of the window shows you which global filter profile is currently applied and allows you to switch to a different profile.
  • Toggle switch: The toggle at the top of the page allows you to switch between the Legacy interface and the Next-Gen interface. The next time you return to Qualifier, it will load the interface you were last using.

The sections below provide more details about the Next-Gen interface. You can also use the links on the right to jump to content that interests you.

Home page​

The redesigned home page offers more useful information than the previous design, including the following:

Global filter profiles​

Near the center of the Home page, you can see a list of your available private (visible only to you) and public (visible to everyone in your organization) filters.

If you previously created global filters in Legacy Qualifier, you will be able to access them in Next-Gen Qualifier, but you cannot yet create global filters in Next-Gen.

Next-Gen Qualifier has a drop-down menu near the upper right corner of the window. It displays your current global filter profile (if any) and allows you to switch to a different global filter.

Your global filter selections will persist; that is, Qualifier will load the same filters the next time you open the application.

Action center​

The action center provides links to helpful information, including your notifications and the Help Center. You can also use the link there to provide feedback about your experiences with Next-Gen Qualifier.

Latest news​

When we have something new to share about Qualifier, we’ll post it in this section. You can also find links to our recent newsletters.

Updated Vehicles, Events, and DTC Manager pages​

The redesigned Vehicles, Events, and DTC Manager pages make it easier to search and find the information you’re looking for, while providing more flexibility than Legacy Qualifier.

Omnisearch bar​

To find a vehicle, event, or DTC, start typing in the Omnisearch bar. As you type, Qualifier will look for and display any matches from column data.

Filters​

If you prefer the previous style of page filters available through Legacy Qualifier, click the filter icon, which looks like a funnel, in the upper right corner of the Vehicles table.

Column customization​

On the Next-Gen Qualifier Vehicles, Events, and DTC Manager pages, you can choose which columns appear and in what order. Click the column customization icon, which looks like a vertical rectangle in between two vertical lines.

In the Customize display window, you can select or deselect columns or drag the rows to change the column order. Click Apply to save your changes.

Trips table​

Instead of appearing at the bottom of the window, the Trips table will slide out from the right when you select a vehicle. The Trips table has the same omnisearch and column customization capabilities as the Vehicles table.

AC-Graph access​

You no longer have to click a trip to make the AC-Graph icon appear. It appears in the Trip Details column of the Trips table.

Also, you probably already know that if a particular trip contains a high volume of data, Qualifier will split that trip into multiple trip detail files. With Next-Gen Qualifier, if you click the AC-Graph link for a trip that includes multiple trip detail files, AC-Graph will automatically open in multi-file mode. Select the concatenate option to see the entire trip as one time-series graph.

Vehicles, Events, and DTC Manager Legacy pages​

While most features from Legacy Qualifier are now available in Next-Gen Qualifier (plus additional features), you have the option of viewing your data in the Legacy format if you prefer.

Analytic tools​

Qualifier’s Snapshots, Reports, and Analytics pages provide similar functionality, so Next-Gen Qualifier groups these three pages together in the left navigation panel under the Analytic tools heading.

Command Center, Events, and DTC Manager​

For now, these pages offer exactly the same experience as Legacy Qualifier.

DATALAB​

Currently, if you want to use DATALAB, you’ll need to toggle back to Legacy Qualifier.

Settings​

Currently, only superusers have access to settings through Next-Gen Qualifier. If you are not a superuser and need to change your account settings, you will need to toggle back to Legacy Qualifier temporarily.
