Restoring resource contents

Pre-requisites

To restore the resource contents, you should have the following access rights to it:

Delete object
Upload and delete files
Create, edit, and delete geofences
Create, edit, and delete drivers
Create, edit, and delete trailers
Create, edit, and delete passengers
Create, edit, and delete jobs
Create, edit, and delete notifications
Create, edit, and delete report templates

The Restore contents feature automatically creates daily backups of your resource objects in WLN format. This allows you to restore resource objects that were accidentally deleted or modified.

Restorable and non-restorable objects

You can restore the following resource objects:

geofences
drivers
trailers
passengers
jobs
notifications
report templates

You can’t restore:

groups of drivers
groups of trailers
groups of passengers
groups of geofences
resource contents of the top account

You can’t restore custom icons (images) of geofences using automatic backups. To prevent data loss, we recommend creating geofence backups manually on a regular basis by exporting them to KML or KMZ files.

Where to find the restore function

The function of restoring contents (the Restore contents button) is available in the properties of:

account for restoring the contents of the same-name account resource which was created automatically with the account;
resource for restoring the contents of the resource created manually.

Time limitations

You can restore the resource contents saved no more than 15 days ago. If there have been no changes with the resource for more than 15 days, you can restore the last saved contents.

You can’t restore the contents that were created and deleted the same day because automatic backup is made once a day.

Restoration process

To restore the resource contents, follow these steps:

Open the Accounts section in CMS Manager.
Click on the name of the required account or resource. To open the list of resources, activate the Resources switch in the Search block and click on the Search button.
Click on the Restore contents button.
In the calendar, select the date for which you want to restore the resource contents. The dates with the available saved changes are highlighted in blue.
In the import window that opens next (the mechanism of restoring is similar to import from WLP), select the import type.
Select the objects you want to restore.
In the Destination objects section, select the resource to which you want to add the restored objects. The initial resource is selected by default. To select several resources, hold down Ctrl. If necessary, use the filter and dynamic search.
Click OK.
