Refresh
The MS Track Web system is designed to push live information through to the system without the need for any auto or manual refresh. However, at times where the internet is unstable or on an older style dial-up system, the system may need to be refreshed manually. Pressing this button will force a manual reload of information.
Search
Search allows all elements of the system to be searched, such as vehicles, Sites, Geofences, Routes etc and any result can be plotted onto the map. Additionally a standard street address can also be searched. Once a result is plotted onto the map, by pressing the three dots ( ) next to the search box the user can then find the nearest vehicle to to the plotted element or run a location history.

A Geofence is a virtual boundary which is used to trigger alerts when a vehicle either Enters or Leaves, goes above a certain speed or spends to much time in the defined area. By clicking the Action button and selecting Create Geofence Here the user can draw the desired Geofence area on the map.
