Creating & Running Spotlight Searches

Steps to create & run Spotlight searches to flash tags.

Open the Logistics Mobile App and log in.

Reminder: Spotlight works only with the specific Cognosos Generation 4 vehicle tags.

Begin with any of the search or filter options. The search will return a single or list of vehicles matching the specific criteria. From either the map or list search results, click the lightbulb icon.

Map SL                        List SL          


If no lightbulb icon appears on the list or map, it means that a search has not yet been performed. You must take that step first.


List SL OnThe icon will turn yellow to indicate that the spotlight flash has been engaged and the tags should be flashing the filter pattern. 

Once activated, Spotlight commands every tag that is in range (100 ft) and on the list to flash. The tag LED will flash with the default pattern configured (configuration patterns are dictated in part by hardware and in part upon an organization’s pattern request).

 

 

 

The tag LED displays the flash pattern (red or green; long or short; in various combinations). It will flash until the user turns off Spotlight or until the flash times out. 

The LED flash is visible at minimally 50’ during daylight; 100’ otherwise.

Stop the flash pattern by selecting the lightbulb icon.
