Registering vehicles

This guide describes the process of registering vehicles to transmit their data to Wasl. The registration process consists of the following stages:

1. Creating units in Wialon.
   If the required units have already been created, skip this stage. If they belong to another user’s account, you must have the View object and its basic properties access right to this account.
2. Configuring the required sensors in the unit properties.
3. Registering vehicles by adding them separately or importing them in bulk.

For information about the first stage, see Creating units. The other stages are described below.

Configure the sensors listed below in the unit properties.

The required sensors are marked with an asterisk (*). The sensors can have any names.

You can register vehicles by adding them one by one or importing them in bulk. To add a vehicle separately, follow the steps below.

1. In the table of customers, click on the row of the customer for whom you want to register the vehicle.
   

2. Go to the Vehicle tab. 
   

3. Click Add vehicle.

4. Specify general information about the vehicle.

   

   The required fields are marked with an asterisk (*). After the vehicle is registered, you can’t edit any fields, except for the IMEI number.

   Vehicle plate*	Specify the vehicle plate. As a rule, it is a four-digit number followed by the left, middle, and right letters.
   Technical requirements	Switch the toggle to confirm that you are aware of the technical requirements for this vehicle type. The option is available only if the customer activity type is speciality transport, bus rental, or educational transport.
   Safety requirements	Switch the toggle to confirm that you are aware of the safety requirements for this vehicle type.The option is available only if the customer activity type is speciality transport, bus rental, or educational transport.
   Activity	The activity type specified when registering the customer. Displayed only if the activity type is not default. This field is not editable.
