Overview Screen: Customising the View – Radius Telematics

Introduction

The Overview screen has multiple functions, including showing where an Asset is, where it was, what alerts have been generated in the last few days, and what telemetry is coming from the Device. The screen itself can be customised to display certain Assets, in a certain way. Please see below for an explanation.

Once changes have been made, and you or the customer log out, or switch account, these settings are stored in the browser cache, and will re-appear on opening the Client again.

NB if you or your customer clear your browser cache, these settings are reset.

Changing View Options

The Options button allows users to change the Asset View, Highlight update times, and Change the Date Format. The Options button is represented as 3 dots, right hand side of the header. Clicking the button opens another window, with the various options that can be changed.

In the example below, the Highlight section was chosen, and any Asset updating longer than 45 minutes ago will be highlighted red:

Filtering Assets

Assets can be filtered by Cost Centre, Asset Groups, Types and Category. The filter function is on the right hand side of the header. Once the filter button is clicked, a new window opens, with the Cost Centre, Asset Group, Asset Category and Asset Types options.

In the example below, Cost Centres were chosen, for the South centre. The filter can be removed by clicking the X.

Searching for Assets

Not all Assets may display on the Overview screen, however can be found through the search function. The search function is on the right hand side of the header. Once the search button is clicked, a new window opens, where you can enter the name of the Asset, and choose Enter, or click the send button. To cancel the search, click the X button.

Once the search find the Asset, or Assets with the search parameters, they are displayed in the list below. The search parameter is shown, and can be removed by clicking the X.

Hiding or Displaying Assets on the Map

On the Overview page, and when Column View has been selected as above, "checkboxes" will be displayed which, when selected or deselected, will hide or display assets on the map accordingly.

Available in Column View when Advanced Layout has been enabled on the Client, under Features - Overview Page - Layout - Advanced
Also available when Basic Layout has been enabled on the Client, under Features - Overview Page - Layout - Basic

Please see the screenshot below, where the user is able to do the following:

Show or Hide all Assets by selecting the "checkbox" at the top of the page.
Show or Hide individual Assets by selecting the "checkbox" alongside the Asset

Changing the Asset Display Value

Users are able to change the Value of the Asset that is displayed on the map to any of the Custom Fields that are available for the Asset. In the example below the user has selected "VIN" to be displayed on the map instead of the Asset Name.

If Column View is selected on the Overview, then the Custom Field value that has been selected by the user will be provided in the Asset Name, with the original Asset Name in smaller text below it. In Grid View Please see screenshot.

If Grid View is selected on the Overview, then the Asset names will be displayed, with the ability to add the Custom field in the Grid. The Custom Field value will also be displayed on the map, as with the Column View.
