Options of Information

The options connected with the display of the information about the units. 

Location
This column displays the location of the units either of form of addresses or geofences. N/A appears for units whose location is not available. 
​

OptionDescription
Addresses                                                        Depending on the selected format, addresses can be longer (if they include state, region, and other elements) or shorter (e.g., street and building number only).
GeofencesIf geofences are chosen to determine the location, once a unit gets into several of them, all the geofences are displayed and separated by commas. They are also sorted by area (from smaller to a larger one) and highlighted in the colour selected in the geofence properties. If a unit is outside of all available geofences, the address is displayed as its location. In any case, this column is the widest on the Monitoring tab which is why it is not recommended to turn it on if there is not enough space on the screen.

Drivers
 The column with the information about the drivers. This column can contain the driver’s photo, photo, and name, or photo and phone number depending on the display option chosen in the customizer of monitoring options. The tooltip always contains the photo, name, and phone number of the driver.
  • : no drivers assigned;
  • : the assigned driver has no photo;
  • : several drivers are assigned to the unit;
  • : the assigned driver is running out of the allowed driving time (monitored when the Driver activity option is activated in the unit properties on the Advanced tab). If a photo is uploaded for the driver, an exclamation mark is displayed to the right of it instead of the icon.

Trailers
 The column with the information about the trailers. This column may contain the photo or photo and name of the trailer depending on the display option chosen in the customizer of monitoring options. The tooltip always contains the photo and name of the trailer assigned to the unit.

The unit should be already checked in the first (Show on map) column. If you click the icon  in the header, the option will be applied to all the units marked in the first column.

If you activate tracking for multiple units, the map is centered and scaled in such a way that all of them are constantly in sight.

  •  yellow: from one to three satellites are available;
  •  red: the satellites are not available;

The second bar shows the latest data received from the unit:

  •  green: the unit sent the data less than 5 minutes ago;
  •  yellow: the unit sent the data within the last hour;
  •  orange: the unit sent the data in the last 24 hours;
  •  red: no messages for a long period of time;

If Custom interval is selected, the interval is taken from the Messages tab. In this case, only messages with data are loaded, and the style of display is taken from the panel itself.


Quick Report

 Execute a quick report on a unit.

  • : execute a report;
  • : not enough rights to execute reports for this unit or there are no unavailable report templates of the Unit type. 

In the drop-down list, select one of the available templates of the Unit type on the basis of which the report should be executed.
