In this menu you edit units. You can not add units yourself – that is done when the units are installed in your vehicles and machines. When you select a unit to edit there are quite a few settings you can change:
Below is an overview of all the fields in the dialog:
Field | Description |
Name | This is just the unit name as it will show up around the FMS application. |
Type | The type of unit – mainly just determines how the unit is presented, and this can be changed around any time. |
Client | Map the unit to a client (see the Clients section). |
Category | Map the unit to a category (see the Categories section). |
Service schedule | Assign the unit to a service schedule (see the Service schedules section). |
Start | Fill in the KM or Hours field depending on whether the unit is a vehicle or a machine. This number should be entered as soon as the unit is equipped with the GPS. This is used to determine when the unit needs service, based on usage. |
Inputs | The GPS unit installed on the vehicle or machine allows for up to four auxiliary inputs. Depending on if and how these are connected, you can label them here, and have the reports say something meaningful, like “wheels turning”, “front loader in use” etc. |
Groups | Map the unit to one or more groups (see the Groups section). |
Note | A field for internal notes on the unit. |
Active | If you leave this un-ticked, the unit will be omitted the map, reports etc. Typically you would un-tick this if a unit was defect. |
