Learn how to Save, Clear, and Edit filters within the Trailer & Yard Management portal.
Saving a New Filter
The selected filter values display adjacent to the Filters option. Select Save Filter to add the filter to the portal.
Some companies will utilize the Spotlight feature, which allows users to cause selected Telluride tags to flash their LED with a predefined pattern to aid staff in identifying specific sets of vehicles nearby. This feature may or may not be turned on within your portal. If your organization does not use the required hardware or software flag, the flashlight pattern option will not be shown on your user interface.
Use the drop-down list to set a spotlight pattern for the filter; otherwise leave to None. If you select a pattern that is already in use, the system returns a warning (you can still save the filter).
Click Save to add the filter to the list. Choose Cancel if you do not want to save.
The new filter will display in the Filters drop-down list for future use. Even once the filter is saved, use the Clear Filters option to refresh the map. Saved filters appear in the Filters drop-down list in both the Map and My Lot views.
Only the Standard and Administrative user roles may save filters; only Administrators may save Application-Wide filters. Refer to User Role section of the Knowledge Base for more info on user roles.
Saved filters appear in the Filters drop-down list in both the Map and My Site views. If the filter was created as a User-Only subscription, it only appears on the lists for the logged in user; if it was created as an Application-Wide filter, it will display for all active RTLS users (with the exception of guest users).
The Filter drop-down list denotes Application-Wide from User-Only filters with the folder icon.
If the filter name includes a folder icon, the filter is available for all users (Application-Wide); if there is no folder icon it means that the filter is only for the logged in user (User-Only).
Editing Filters
Users may make changes to their own defined filters and Administrators may edit application-wide filters. Open the filter dropdown list and select the pencil icon to open the filter settings window.
Selected criteria are listed in the Selected Filters column. You may remove any filter criteria by selecting the X next to that item. Add other filter criteria as described above. When complete with changes, select Apply. The view (map and vehicles list) refreshes to meet the updated criteria. You may save the filter or carry on with other activities without saving.
Deleting a Filter
To remove a filter, open the Filters drop-down from either the Map or My Site Vehicles page. Select the trash can icon next to the filter you want to delete. Note that application-wide (all user) filters will NOT show the trash can icon if the filter was created by a different user; only for the user who created the filter.
A small message window will confirm that the filter was deleted. Regardless of the filter type (all or single user) the filter will no longer appear in the Filter drop-down list once removed.
