To monitor units, you should add them to the work list. Only the units from the work list can be shown on the map and used in different tasks, such as running reports, assigning drivers and trailers, requesting messages and tracks, searching for the nearest units, etc.

The work list has two display modes:

• : unit list;
• : unit group list.

Each of these lists is independent, and their settings are stored separately. When you switch between them, all the settings that were last applied to this type of list are restored.

The groups and units selected in the list are shown on the map. To select an item, point to its row and check the box to the left of its icon.

To search for the required units in the list, use the dynamic search above it. The search is carried out by unit name, group name, unique ID, device type, phone number, and such profile properties of the unit as VIN, vehicle type, registration plate, brand, model, year, and color.

Unit list

To switch to the unit list mode, click on the icon.

In addition to the search described above, you can perform the following actions in this mode:

• add units to the work list and delete them from it;
• sort units by various parameters.

Adding units to the work list

You can add units to the work list manually or enable automatic addition of units. To do this, use the following buttons:

Moreover, there are alternative ways of adding units to the work list:

• from the Online notifications window (adding a unit that triggered the notification);
• dynamic formation of the list depending on data recency

Units created in the monitoring system or CMS Manager are automatically added to the work list of the monitoring panel of the user-creator (you may need to refresh the page or log in again). If the group view monitoring mode is activated in the work list, the new unit automatically gets in the group it was added to at creation, or to the Units outside groups (if it does not belong to any).

If the filtering on the basis of data recency is used and the created unit does not meet the specified conditions, automatic addition to the list does not happen.

Removing units from the work list

For removing units from the work list, the Clear list option must be enabled in the customizer of monitoring options.

To remove a unit from the work list, point to it and click on the icon  in its row. To clear the whole list, click on the icon  in the header.

Removing units from the work list is unavailable if the automatic addition of units is enabled.

Removing units from the work list doesn’t lead to their deletion from the system. You can add them back to the work list using the ways described above. To delete units from the system, go to the Units tab.

Sorting

By default, the work list is sorted by names arranged in direct alphabetical order. The order can be reversed. To do this, use the switch button or in the header.

Besides, it is possible to sort units by other attributes such as motion state, connection quality, etc. To do this, use the buttons in the header:

• : driver information;
• : trailer information;
• : motion state;
• : last message time;
• : online connection state;
• : sensor state;
• : battery level of the device (tracker);
• : media files;
• : video;
• : commands.

For instance, to sort units by the motion state, use the button . The list is rearranged in such a way that all the moving units appear at the top of the list, and those that are not moving appear at the bottom. To reverse the motion state order of units, click on the button again.

The presence or absence of certain columns is adjustable in the customizer of monitoring options.

Unit group list

To switch to the unit group list mode, click on the icon .

In this mode, the units from the work list are shown by groups. Next to the group name, you can see the number of units in it. The group tooltip displays the list of the units that belong to this group. 

In the list, you can perform the following actions with group:

Window of searching and adding units manually

A special window is used to search for units and add them manually to the work list. To open this window, click on the button  and select Add units or groups.

In the window, all the unit groups (in square brackets) and units available to the user are displayed in alphabetical order.

Adding units

If you want the added object to be shown on the map immediately, enable the Show added units on map option.

You can add a unit or a group with its units to the work list in one of the following ways:

• double-click on the object in the work list;
• add all the found (filtered) objects using the icon ;
• replace the existing work list with all the found (filtered) objects using the icon .

If the added unit belongs to a certain group, then this group is also added to the list but without the rest of its units. If the unit doesn't belong to any group, then it is automatically added to the Units outside groups group with the icon .

Searching by criteria

If you have a lot of units and groups, you can use filters to search for the required object. Below you can find information about filtering in the window for adding objects.

The following filtering criteria are available:

• at the first level, you select a filtering criterion and the list shows only those units which have the selected property. For example, if you select the Sensors filter, the list shows only those units for which they are created;
• at the second level, in the search field next to the filter, you specify one or several keywords (their masks) separated by commas. For example, to find all units with ignition sensors and/or fuel sensors, you can select the Sensors filter and specify *ign*,*fuel*;
• at the third level, you can add one more filtering criterion by clicking on the icon and search among previously filtered units, etc.

List generation by data recency

The work list on the Monitoring tab can be formed dynamically according to the time when the last message with coordinates from a unit is received. Units are removed and added to the list and map automatically. The work list is updated every 10 seconds.

The function can be enabled in the customizer of monitoring options. Change the Without filtering option to Work list or Work list and map and specify the filtering interval in minutes. Then only those units from which data was received during the specified interval will be displayed on the Monitoring tab. If the Work list and map option is selected, the units are added not only to the work list but also to the map.

Filtering is applied to all the units available to the user. Therefore, the units with recent data are shown in the work list and/or on the map, even if they were not added to the Monitoring tab previously.
