Panel Content - Details Panel

Jump Navigation

At the top of the Details Panel, users will see the name and icon of the active Object, and will be able to move between that and others using the tools on the bar. First, they have the option to click the name or the down arrow to open a list of other Objects of the same type, and click any of those to jump to it. Additionally, they can use the right and left arrows to navigate through the objects list one at a time alphabetically. The information in the Details Panel will update automatically as users navigate between objects.

Options Panel

Below the Jump Navigation, users will see a series of tabs that allow them to interact with the object and view any information or actions pertinent to the active object. Available Options will vary based on the Object, but include a number of Quick Actions and other interactive tools.

Buttons (Assets)

Current Position: Displays the Asset’s current position (most recently reported position) and snaps the Map View to that position with the Asset open in the Map View. Follow Asset: If not enabled by default, activating the Follow Asset button will begin tracking the Asset’s reported positions with a line drawn between them. History Replay: Opens History Mode and prompts the user to select a time frame to view the Asset’s previously reported positions Send Waypoint: Device-specific tool, allows users to create a Waypoint on the Map and send that Waypoint to the Asset. Asset operators will then be able to see and interact with that Waypoint from their device. Set Waypoint: Allows users to create a Waypoint for an Asset using a Place from a drop-down menu, Lat/Lng coordinates, or a street address. Once the location for the Waypoint is determined, name the Waypoint and attach a message or note, then Set Waypoint. This will put a Flag status icon next to the Asset and a Waypoint entity on the Map. Add Position: Users can manually report for the Asset by clicking the map or putting Lat/Lng coordinates along with a timestamp and speed directly from the portal. When reviewing logs and viewing user-input positions, they will note that they are not from the device.
