Events
The Events table shows all events (including violations) registered in the system for a unit.
Events for a unit can be registered manually or automatically.
Automatic event registration
Events are automatically registered in the following cases:
- if a notification with the Register event for unit or Register unit status action is triggered;
- if the Save and/or change the value of the mileage counter, Save and/or change the value of the engine hours counter and Save and/or reset the value of the GPRS traffic counter jobs are executed. The Save the counter value in the unit history option must be activated in the job settings.
- if the unit completed a route.
Manual event registration
You can register events manually in the following ways:
- by using the event registration,
- by using the Custom event option in the window of a triggered online notification.
