Prerequisites

On the Live View page, you can see where your assets are located at the moment and how long ago each of them was detected.

Selecting a building and floor

  1. Navigate to the Live View page.
  2. Select the building in the page header.
  3. Select the floor in the floor switch on the map.

For each asset on the selected floor, the list on the left shows the zone where it’s located and the time when it was last detected. The assets outside any zone are shown with the No zone value. For details on creating zones, see Drawing zones on the floor plan.

  1. In the search field, enter the asset name or the zone name.

  2. To narrow down the results, use the following filters:

    Filter Description
    Name The name of the asset.
    Zone The zone where the asset is located. Available if at least one zone is created.
    Category The category of the asset. Available if at least one category is created.
    Status The current status of the asset: Live, Stale, Lost, Not seen, or Untracked.
  3. Click the asset in the list to center the map on the position where it was last detected.

To change the order of the assets in the list, click the sorting icon above it. You can sort the assets by the last detection time, name, or zone.

Map and table views

To switch between the views, use the Map and Table buttons in the upper-right corner.

Map view

The map view shows the assets on the floor plan. The number in a zone shows how many assets are located inside it.

Table view

The table view shows the data of the whole building in a table with two tabs:

  • Assets: All assets in the building across all floors.
  • Anchors · Gateways: All hardware in the building.

Assets tab

The Assets tab shows all assets in the building across all floors. The columns are the same as in the asset list on the Assets page. For their description, see Managing the asset list.

Above the table, the counters show how many assets have the Live, Stale, and Lost statuses. Click a counter to leave only such assets in the table. You can also filter the table by Name, Zone, Category, Status, Floor, and Battery.

To work with an asset, click the icon three gray dots in a vertical line in its row. The available actions are Find on map, Change tag, Unpair tag, and Edit asset. For their description, see Actions in the asset row.

Anchors · Gateways tab

The Anchors · Gateways tab contains the following columns:

Column Description
Name The name of the anchor or gateway.
Ident The ident of the hardware.
Kind The type of the hardware: Anchor or Gateway.
Floor The floor where the hardware is placed.
On plan Shows whether the hardware is placed on the floor plan.
Link The connection status.
Last heard The time of the last received message.
Battery The battery level. Shown for anchors only.

Above the table, the counters show how many devices have the Online, Silent, Offline, and No data statuses. Click a counter to leave only such devices in the table. You can also filter the table by Name, Ident, Floor, and Link.

To place the hardware that isn’t shown on the plan yet, see Placing anchors on the floor plan.

Showing and hiding objects on the map

To make the floor plan easier to read, you can hide the objects you don’t need at the moment. On the map toolbar, use the following controls:

  • Entities: Shows or hides the Assets, Zones, Anchors, and Gateways on the map.
  • Labels: Shows or hides the names of the Assets, Zones, Anchors, and Gateways.

Checking the asset status

The status of an asset depends on how long ago its tag reported the position.

Status Condition What to do
Live Less than 15 minutes ago Nothing. The asset is tracked in real time.
Stale From 15 minutes to 1 hour ago Check the tag and the anchors near the asset.
Lost 1 hour ago or more Check the tag battery and the hardware on the floor.
Not seen The tag has never reported the position Check that the tag is turned on and is within the range of the anchors.
Untracked The asset isn’t paired with a tag Pair a tag with the asset.

The untracked assets are also shown with the No tag value in the Tag column on the Assets page.

The time is counted from the last position report of the tag, not from its last message. A tag can send service data and still have the Lost status if its position isn’t updated.

Checking the tag battery

To avoid losing an asset from the map, replace the tag battery before it runs out. To check the battery level, switch to the table view and see the Battery column.

Level Voltage What to do
Normal More than 3.0 V Nothing.
Warning From 2.8 V to 3.0 V Plan the battery replacement.
Low From 2.5 V to 2.8 V Replace the battery.
Critical 2.5 V or less Replace the battery immediately. The tag can stop reporting the position at any moment.
