User Guides.

You can add units to groups which can help organize them based on certain criteria. Group access may also be limited to certain users. For example company executives may have their vehicles monitored by a certain allocated user only. 

Creating groups

To create a unit group, follow these steps:

  1. Switch to the Groups mode on the Units tab.
  2. Click on the New button.
  3. Specify the group name.
  4. If necessary, select the creator of the group in the drop-down list.
  5. In the left list, select units you want to add to the group. To quickly search for them, use the dynamic filter above the list. 
  6. Move the selected units from the left list to the right one using the icon  or by double-clicking them.
  7. If necessary, configure the Access, Icon, and Custom fields tabs.
  8. Click OK.

The created group is automatically added to the list of all unit groups and to the work list on the Monitoring tab (the group view) in the account to which it belongs. To search for groups, you can use the dynamic filter.

To the right of the name of each group, you can see the number of units added to it. To open their list, click on the icon  to the left of the required group or point to its line.

Units which are not included in any of the created groups are listed in the Units outside groups group.

Actions with groups

When working with a list of unit groups, the following actions are available:

Icon Description

/

Sort all groups in direct or reverse alphabetical order.

/

Show/Hide a list of all the units added to the group.

Open the group properties.

Create a new group with the same properties. A click on the icon opens the window for creating a new group where you can make changes and save them.

Delete the group.

Deleting the group does not delete all the units added to it.

Using groups

 

You can use unit groups on the Monitoring tab, in reports and notifications.

TheMonitoringtab

Depending on the options enabled on the Monitoring tab, you can switch to the group view and see the parameters of all the units added to the group (for example, data recency, connection state, etc.).

If you select a group in the list, the location of all its units which are online is displayed on the map.

Reports

Reports may be executed on unit groups instead of individual units. Unit groups are enclosed in square brakets [ ] in the object list.

In the report, you can also see the tracks or markers of all the units of the group on the map.

Notifications

When creating notifications, you can select one or more unit groups for them.
