Portal Moves Search
We added a new searchbar in the header of portal. This is a global search across all moves within the past year + 1 month ahead (by default). The search filters results are based on the following criteria:
- HopDrive Move ID
- Reference ID
- Vehicle VIN
- Vehicle Stock
- Vehicle Make
- Vehicle Model
- Vehicle Year
- Location Name
- Location Address
- Rooftop Name
- Customer Name
- Customer Phone
Note that searching by vehicle make and model together will not work. For now, it will need to be either or. A future update is planned to make this feature better. First, we need to collect feedback.

VIN Decoder
A VIN decoding function has been added to our back-end to be used across our sites. This first implementation of this is in the move creation form on portal.
Our VIN decoding uses a simple library that updates a list of vehicles monthly. This means our vehicle database should be fairly up-to-date on the latest vehicles coming out.
For the implementation on portal, we use the VIN decoder when a user fully types out a VIN (17 digits). Note that vehicles may be found even if a digit is wrong. If this proves to be problematic for operations, please bring this up to the tech team and we can discuss a potential solution.
