Learn how to view events logged into the system.
The Events listing entails every trackable vehicle event in the facility. To access this information, click the bell icon located in the portal’s main menu; select Events to open the tab.
As shown, this tab contains every event that has been logged in the system, which is an extensive list. Pagination options at the top allow a page by page browse of events.
Event Importance is segmented into three categories: information, high, critical. Sort events by the Events Date and Time column.
Events can be downloaded to a CSV file using the Download option in the Events menu bar.
Select the Vehicle ID link in the Event Origin column to open the Vehicle Details page for that vehicle. Refer to the Trailer & YMS article on Managing Trackers for more details on managing and tracking vehicles.
The Other Features column provides summary data for the vehicle. Use the more... link in that column to expand summary information for the vehicle (the row will get taller); select less... to collapse (the row will get shorter).
The Additional Information column provides more data, which changes depending upon the event type. For example, a tracker event shows the action (attach/detach), tracker and vehicle IDs, an unresponsive tracker displays the last known location and last message date.
When the event type is a location change the system provides a map link to view the location of the tracker/vehicle. Highlight and copy the link then open a new browser window. Paste the link to access the vehicle’s location via the map coordinates and location through Google maps.
