There are several methods of tracking units on routes and you can choose what suits you better.

Online control

In the lower right part of the screen, there is a timeline on which the rides are displayed. Here you can see all rides created manually as well as those that are in progress at the moment.

If there are many rides, you can filter them by the following parameters: route, schedule, ride, and unit. You can select the necessary option in the dropdown list and type the name mask of the route/schedule/ride/unit in the text field on the right. You can also specify the time interval for which the rides should be displayed. To apply the filtration, press Enter.

Additionally, you can apply grouping to the list of rides . In this case, there will be a separate line for every route/schedule/ride/unit. The number of items the line contains is indicated in brackets next to its name.

The timeline scale is adjustable. It can display a period of time equal to a fortnight or just a minute. On a small scale, the names of the check points can overlap. That is why sometimes it is advisable to hide them. You can select one of the following options:

•  : hide captions;
•  : show the names of the current points only. A current point is the one where the unit is located at the moment or the one that is supposed to be visited soon;
•  : show all captions.

You can move the timeline to the right and left by clicking on it with the left mouse button and dragging it. Besides, the timeline can move by itself in such a way that the current moment is always displayed in the center. To adjust this setting, click Lock current time . You cannot move the timeline manually while this option is activated.

On the timeline, a route is represented by a horizontal line of the colour attributed to it. The check points are displayed as vertical sections on this line and are placed in accordance with the scheduled time of arrival. If both the arrival and departure times are indicated, the check point is displayed as a rectangle. Besides, the check points that only have the arrival time can be expanded to rectangles due to the deviation time (if specified). To activate this option, click Mark deviation time .

Until the check point is visited, it is displayed as an empty rectangle. After the visit, the rectangle is filled with the color attributed to the route. Additionally, you can activate contours which highlight schedule violations:

•  : yellow is used to mark delays;
•  : pink is used to mark outrunning.

If the check point has been visited in accordance with the schedule, no contour is applied. If the point has been skipped, it is filled and contoured with red filling regardless of the route color.

To see the real time of the check point visit on the timeline, activate the In fact option . The real time is displayed in circles above the scheduled time.

Notifications about routes

While a unit is performing a ride, you can receive notifications about the events related to it, the changes of the state, and so on. For this purpose, create a notification of the Route control type and adjust it properly in accordance with your needs. You can be notified when the ride starts and finishes, when the unit enters, leaves, or skips a check point, and in some other cases. The notifications can be sent by email or SMS, displayed online in a pop-up window, stored in the unit history as events or violations, and so on. See notifications for more information.

Reports on routes

All events connected with the unit performance on routes are stored in the system automatically. Later, you can analyse them in reports.

When executing a report, you can add the following tables based on the information about routes:

• Rides (for a unit);
• Check points;
• Rides (for a route).
