Managing Units

To create a unit, click Create, fill in general properties, and click OK. The created unit appears in the work area. It also appears automatically in the work list of the ​Monitoring​ panel (in the group view mode) of the account it has been created in.

Units are listed in the alphabetic order. Each unit has an icon. To facilitate unit search, use dynamic filter. Such information as unit type, unique ID, and phone number(s) can be found in unit’s tooltip. To do so, place a cursor on the unit. In order to view unit’s tooltip it is necessary to possess the Edit connectivity settings right towards a unit.

The following icons are used to perform standard actions over units:

 — Send SMS to unit’s SIM card. It can be a command or other message. SMS icons are not displayed if this feature is not activated for the current user. If the icon is inactive, then there is no phone number indicated in unit properties or a current user has no enough rights towards a unit. If two phone numbers are given in unit properties, choose one of them when the dialog of SMS sending opens. More information about sending SMS messages can be found here.

 — View or edit unit properties. To get the most efficient results both in reports and in online monitoring, unit should be set up correctly, in accordance with device type used, available sensors, and tracking tasks. Unit is configured in unit properties dialog that was described above. Depending on your access level, the dialog can contain up to 13 tabs which detailed description can be found in the following topics:

    • General,
    • Access,
    • Icon,
    • Advanced,
    • Sensors,

 — Create a copy of this unit.

 — Delete a unit from the system completely. If the icon is inactive, then you do not possess enough rights to perform such an action. Note that routes assigned to a unit are deleted together with it.
