Creating a new alert

• Name: Enter a name for the alert. This is the name that is used in the main screen of the Alert tab.
• Alert Type: Select the required alert type. The options are Geofence, Curfew, Ignition, Rushing,  and Machine. The fields that appear in the following section depend on the selection you make here.
• Frequency: The minimum frequency at which this alert will be sent via text or email. It can be set in minutes or hours, with a range between 3 minutes and 24 hours.
  This setting only limits alerts received over email or text and not the alerts shown on the Alerts page.

• Condition: Select the condition that will trigger the geofence alert from the drop-down list. The options are Site Entry and Exit, Site Entry, or Site Exit.

Note – For each geofence alert you can select to trigger the alarm for entry to or exit from a boundary, or both. Exit triggers can be used to signal completion of work in a given area or to signal possible misappropriation of a vehicle from its area of use. Entry triggers can be used to signal if a vehicle has entered a restricted area.

• Geofence: Select the checkbox next to the geofence area(s) to which the alert applies. You must create a geofence before you can create a geofence alert.

Frequency is same for all types of alerts as described above. Enter the working hours for each day, as required, during which the vehicle may be turned on. The alert is triggered if the ignition is turned on outside the defined working hours.
If you select the check box next to the day, the default working hours (7:00 am to 5:00 pm) are inserted, but these times can be changed as required. If you click in any field, a list of times appears from which you can make a selection.
If a day’s check box is not selected (as shown here for Sunday and Saturday), the alarm is triggered automatically if the vehicle is turned on.
Only one curfew alert may be defined per vehicle.

Select the appropriate checkbox – the alert will be triggered accordingly.

Select the check box next to each vehicle to which the alert will apply. If you select a Vehicle Group (for example Sprayer), all vehicles that belong to that group will be included in the alert.
To select all vehicles, click the All check box.
