How to search and utilize filters in order to search for vehicle information on the Map for Trailers & Yard Management.
Locating Vehicles via Search
Look up and locate any vehicle located within the facility using the search feature located in the map’s menu bar. Search by any vehicle attribute (vehicle ID, description, vehicle type, year, color, etc.). Search by a single vehicle ID or multiple vehicle IDs. The Paste IDs option in the Search field is a standard paste function for copying multiple IDs simultaneously. This function can be performed through a spreadsheet or by downloading to a CSV file from My Lot.
When searching with multiple vehicle IDs, the search return will initiate the save filter ability. (Not available for single vehicle searches.) If you’d like to save the search for future use, select Save Changes next to the Search field. Name, set filter options, and save. Otherwise, use Clear Filters to refresh the map.
When inputting data into the Search field, the system searches on all values (alphanumeric) that are found within vehicle details and uses real-time filtering as information is input to the Search field. As such, a dynamic drop-down list will appear displaying the matching search criteria with a yellow highlight.
Highlight the appropriate vehicle from the list. Once vehicle is selected, the Search field populates with the Vehicle ID and map refreshes with the single vehicle icon.
Select More Details to the right of the vehicle ID for asset details about that vehicle. Select Less Details to collapse data.
To clear the search filters, select the X in the Search field. The map will refresh.
Locating Vehicles via Filter
Filters provide another mechanism for locating vehicles within the facility. Different than the Search function, filters can always be saved for future access to vehicle location information quickly and easily. Filters may also be saved as application-wide (for all users) by Administrators and users may create and save their own filters. From the Map page, select Filters from the top left.
Until a user creates and saves a filter, there are no filters listed. Once a filter is created and saved it appears in the drop-down list accessible next to the Filter button.
To search and create a new filter, select either the Filters button or Create New Filter from the drop-down list. The Filter settings window opens.
Select the criteria for the filter. As a selection is made in the Select Filters column, the items displayed under Select Filter values will change. You may have multiple selections within the Select Filters and Select filter values columns. As selections are made, the Selected filters (far right) column displays the filters.
Once filters are applied the map view updates with just the vehicles or vehicle clusters that meet the filter criteria.
Because the map displays one map layer (zone for example) at a time, you may need to select a different zone to see all the filtered vehicles. If you want to filter and view vehicles across the entire facility at once, use the My Site Vehicles page.
