The icons that display the tachograph status are defined as:
Clicking the arrow icon next to the vehicle name will take the user to the Routing & Tasks menu, the current vehicle position will already be marked as the starting point.
In cases when a vehicle with an attached trailer is selected, the user will see a selector at the top of the panel. Here the user can select to either show information for the vehicle or for the trailer.
Note
Coordinates for the truck and the trailer might differ because of various landscape factors, installation location variation and others. These differences are mostly minimal but can occur.
In addition to the expanded information, the user will be able to preview vehicle details. To do this, he must simply click the Vehicle details button located at the bottom of the overview section. This will open a new section over the map with details about the selected vehicle. By default, only basic information that was inputted during the creation of the object can be seen. Editing now allows to change all the details of the vehicle, as well as selecting a vehicle type. A company card can be assigned for tachograph file downloads. The user can also input additional notes about the vehicle, set the cargo capacity details or input fuel consumption details. Note that the fuel consumption detail will be present in the reports, even if the vehicle does not provide CAN data about fuel usage.
Note
Additional info is also available for trailers, in this case, the button will be named “Trailer details”.
Each section is edited separately and must be saved after any changes are made. The section is highlighted in a darker shade of grey once editing has begun. A confirmation window will appear if the user decides to leave without saving the made changes.
For all modules of FMS to work properly, it is necessary to set the cargo capacity details as accurately as possible. The data inputted here is used later in the system for cargo and order calculations.
The user can correct the mileage of the vehicle and check the history of previous changes. The history of changes can be checked, by clicking the history icon next to the “Mileage correction”. Up to 5 last changes are displayed.
To correct the mileage, move the mouse over the current mileage and an edit icon will appear, click the icon to open the correction menu. Here the user can specify the new current mileage value and the date from which recalculate mileage data according new current mileage value.
Once a change is made, it must be saved by clicking the ✓ icon. Several rules apply to the mileage correction:
- Mileage can be changed for each vehicle only once per 24 hours
- The correction date can be up to 35 days in the past
- Mileage correction can only be done by administrators
- Mileage correction is only available for vehicles which send mileage information from the virtual odometer
To exit the vehicle details section, click the Close button located on the top right side of the screen.
