The program interface can be divided into three sections: Menu bar [1], Workspace panel [2] and Map [3]. The detailed description of each section is provided below. From now on, these three sections of the program interface will be addressed the same as in this chapter.
This bar contains a number of drop-down menus that provide access to main features of the monitoring system.
The Objects menu contains tools for managing objects (adding, editing, reviewing or removing).
The History feature displays information on events that happened with object in the specific period of time (start and end of moving, stop, alert, etc.) History also shows track specification with description of every input data from the device.
With feature Notifications you can review the list of current notifications, as well as set the new notifications about various events happening to the monitored objects.
With Geofences, you can control the monitored objects in terms of their location and movement within the specified area. Geofence can be any specific area which is of interest of user.
In the Route section of the menu bar, you can carry out operations related to creating routes and regulating traffic on them.
The Place functionality is intended for saving frequently used address points in the program so as to make it easier to access and navigate them.
With the help of the Relaying function, you can exchange data about positions of monitored objects between different dispatch systems.
Feature Tasks can be used for setting different tasks in the form of reports.
Clicking on the Report menu opens a special window where you can form and generate reports based on various parameters of the monitored objects.
Additional features are available in the right part of the Menu bar. Notification button (
) allows switching online service of notifications, coming out by presets. In the Tools menu (
) you can work with different measuring tools (measure line, measure area), use the address search function, and regulate display of the Track player panel, Data actuality, Speeding modes and the Displayed period workspace. In the Settings menu (
) you can change your password, select the language of the program's user interface, receive an API key, or define which parameters should be displayed in the Object on Map bubble. In the Admin menu (
) you can configure user profiles, manage roles, and regulate licensing of your companies.
The workspace panel is intended for carrying out basic work operations such as work with objects, places, geofences, notifications, history, etc. These work categories are located in different sections of the workspace panel.
General settings and functions such as group selection, filter button, show all the objects on the map, add, edit, copy and delete buttons are located in the upper section of most sections of the workspace panel.
In the middle of the workspace panel you will always find a list of items of a specific category filtered in accordance with the filter parameters that you set. To interact with a specific item, for example, to display an object on the map or change parameters of a geofence, you should select an appropriate item from the list. In certain operations you can interact with several items at a time, for that you should select several items.
For each object in the list, the statuses of the main parameters are displayed, which are described in detail in p.4.1.
This block in the bottom part of the workspace panel allows you to specify the time period for which you would like to see history of an object.
To show or hide this block, in the Tools menu () mark the Watched interval checkbox.
The map is used to monitor and track vehicles and view passed tracks and events, routes, and POIs. Upon clicking on a point on the map, the address information board (or the Address bubble) will appear.
The address bubble contains coordinates and address information of the selected point. When clicking on the Up arrow in the address bubble, and then the Actions button, additional options appear: Add new place, Create geofence, Create Route.
Map buttons are used for map navigation and zooming.
You can also navigate the map with the help of the arrows keys or keyboard.
Multiple categories of POIs are displayed on the map with special icons. Whether a POI category is displayed on the map often depends on the map scale – different POIs are visible at different map scales. When zooming in the social object is showed (banks, hotels, restaurants), when zooming out – geographical (stations, bridges, tunnels).
Upon clicking on a point on the map, the address information board appears. It contains coordinates and address information of the selected point. To open the additional options, click the Up arrow and then the Actions button.
Similarly to the address bubble, you can click on any active monitored object on the map to open an information about that object.
To configure data which should be displayed in the bubble, select the Settings menu () and then open the Object on map tab. There, you can configure what information should be displayed in the bubble by checking or clearing checkboxes. Also, in the pop-up window, the sensors specified at adding object to the map can be displayed, such as Power Supply, Fuel Level, Axle Load, etc. (for details refer to 4.1.5).
The Objects window is a section of the workspace panel. This section of the program contains functionality for creating, editing and deleting individual objects and groups of objects.
Object (monitoring object) - is a vehicle, equipment or other moving or stationary object being monitored with the help of data from the GPS / GLONASS-tracker installed on the object.
To work with the objects press the Object button in the Menu bar.
In the Objects section of the workspace panel you can see the list of objects limited to a certain group of objects. To see the list of all the objects from all the groups available to you, select All groups in the Group drop-down list.
To begin monitoring an object, select the object from the list by clicking on it. To monitor several objects at once, mark the checkboxes of those objects.
You can use the Watched period function to specify the time period for which you would like to display the track of the selected object.
If you want to add a new object to the monitoring system, complete the steps below:
. 
The New device dialog box will open.
To edit a monitored object, follow the steps below:
. 
The Edit object dialog box will open.
The Edit object dialog box can also be accessed by pressing in the object's entry.
To delete an object from the system, complete the steps below:
. 
When creating or editing an object, it is possible to assign the object to a specific group of objects. Having divided objects into groups, you can perform actions in respect to multiple objects at once. This function might be useful if you want to create a geofence that would work for a large group of objects, or display a certain group of objects on the map. With this function, you can also create and save places that would be visible only within a specific group of objects, as well as generate reports on entire groups of objects.
The program provides the display of all objects from the list on the map, without marking them with the checkmarks in the list in the left part of the window. To do this, click the Show all objects on the map (
). When working with a small scale of the map, in the place of the clustering of several objects, an icon with the total number of objects will be displayed.
In the Objects section of the workspace panel, you can see the list of all the objects in the selected group. In addition to base columns with object name, track color, and position, the table also includes a number of optional status columns.
You can specify which of the columns should be in the table. To do that, click on Column settings just above the object list. In the opened pop-up window, check or clear appropriate checkboxes to display or hide columns.
Statuses in the columns are displayed in the form of special icons. Place the mouse cursor over an icon to get the description of the icon.
The status bars shown in the program by default can be complemented by additional status bars. To add an additional status bar to the Object tab of the workspace panel, complete the following steps:
It is possible to change the icons of the statuses. To do that, in the gauge selection window, click Change, and then select a suitable icon.
To edit a user status, in the Objects section of the workspace panel, click Column settings, and then press to the right of the status you want to edit. It will open a window where you can edit the status: change the number of its states and their enabling values, and change the status icon.
To delete a status created before, in the Objects section of the workspace panel, click Column settings, and then press to the right of the status that you want to delete. Confirm deletion.
To remove a specific status column, in the Objects section of the workspace panel, click Column settings, and then clear the checkbox of the status that you want to disable.
To configure sensors connected to a sensor tracker, complete the following steps:
..The chosen value will appear in the Expression field below. Marking the Change checkbox will allow you to edit the expression. In order to do that, select the desired values and click Add. Click on the question mark next to the words "The available parameters and operations" to see the list of symbols, as well as arithmetical and logical operations that will help you create custom expressions.
When selecting some sensors, such as ignition or alarm, an additional field called Threshold will appear in the Sensor configuration window. It is necessary to specify the threshold voltage value in the Threshold field. Voltage below this value would mean 0, whereas above would mean 1, which will help the program to interpret and display information on sensor status. The threshold voltage value of a sensor is indicated in the documentation to the device or can be defined by special configurator software.
Furthermore, the History window contains information about voltage in a specific input in different instants of time, thanks to which it is possible to compare these data with the de facto state of a tracker sensor.
If in the Sensor field you choose "Additional sensor", two new fields will appear on the left in the General tab – Name and Sensor type. The former is for entering a custom name for the new sensor and the latter contains the same as Sensor field at the top plus "Arbitrary sensor". The content of the Value field on the right won't change.
After configuration is complete, sensor information is displayed in the detailed history window.
Sensor types and their functions.
When you select a sensor's value, it is displayed in the Expression field below. Marking the Change checkbox will allow you to edit the expression. To do that, select a value from the list and press Add. Pressing on the question mark icon to the right of The available parameters and operations will display a list of parameters and symbols, as well as arithmetic and logical operations that will help you create custom expressions.
This can be used to configure additional sensors. Below are two examples.
The order in which the sensors are set up is important!
There are different methods of trip detection in Navitel Monitoring. You can select a suitable method of trip detection and define its core parameters. The chosen method of trip detection may affect reports and trigger some notifications, such as "Stop" or "Start".
In order to setup the method of trip detection, follow the steps:
After completing the steps above, it is necessary to configure how the program should interpret the data it receives from gauges, so that it can distinguish different states of the object. There are three possible states an object can be in: "Ride", "Idle", and "Parking". An object can be in one state at a time.
The table below describes all available data interpretation parameters that can be set.
In order to retrieve information recorded on a tachograph, complete the steps:
The History feature is meant for display of information about movement of objects for a specified period of time. This information is displayed as a list of events, indicated in the ascending order of their occurrence, as well as in the form of a track on the map.
The History feature is a part of the workspace panel. Click on the History tab in the Menu bar in order to switch to this section.
To display movement history of an object:
The history of the selected object for the specified time period will be displayed in the History section of the workspace panel. Clicking on a history event will make the map to move to the event place and open the address bubble.
By default, history report also has detailed information. Detailing can be removed by unchecking "Show trip details" box at the top left of the list of events.
To see details of the event, select the checkbox Show track detail. The detailed information will then be presented in a new window, in the form of a table. To update data in the table, click the Update button.
With Geofences you can control the monitored objects in terms of their location and movement within the specified area. Particularly, having configured the notification parameters, you can see the exact time a monitored vehicle arrives or leaves a geofence, or track the start and end time of speeding occasions within a geofence.
Click on the Geofences tab in the Menu bar.
In the Geofences section of the workspace panel, you can see the list of geofences in the selected group. To see all the geofences, in the Group drop-down list, select the All groups category.
To enable display of a geofence on the map, mark the checkbox of that geofence. You can display several geofences at once by marking more than one checkbox.
To display a geofence on the map, select a geofence from the list by clicking on its name. Having selected a geofence from the list, click Find the geofence on the map.
Geofences in Navitel Monitoring can be created in several ways – basic and customized. To create a basic geofence (circular shape), follow the steps below.
In order to create a geofence of a customized shape, follow this instruction:

.With this feature, you get notified about various events happening to the objects you monitor.
To be able to receive notifications, it is necessary to create notification template. In notification templates, you can select the events of which you must be notified, the objects that should be subject to these templates, and make a pattern of the notification message.
The Notification section of the workspace panel contains the list of configured notification templates with indication of template name, event type, notification method (message output to the screen, SMS, or email notification).
To be able to receive notifications, it is necessary to create notification templates first. In notification templates, you can select the events of which you must be notified, the objects that should be subject to these templates, and make a pattern of the notification message.
The program provides the following types of events for notifications:
– motion stop;
– geofence entrance;
– geofence exit;
– speeding in the geofence;
– ending of the speeding in the geofence;
– speeding;
– termination of excess;
– motion start;
– connection/disconnection;
– alarm;
– condition for the sensor;
– non-exit from geofence;
– movement in a group (approach);
– movement in a group (distance);
– fueling;
– fuel drain.
To create a new notification template:

In the Route section of the workspace panel, you can carry out operations related to creation of routes and regulation of traffic on them.
The entire procedure of working with routes can be split into a number of stages, with each stage dependent on the previous one. The first step is to create a route by marking all stop and route points. The program will then build an efficient route that goes through all the marked points. Secondly, it is necessary to plan a schedule. The next step is to add objects to the schedule. The objects are then defined into trips. Finally, you can optionally set up notifications that will allow recording different events associated with vehicles, such as route deviation, delay, schedule overdrive etc.
To create a route:
.
in the Waypoints block. Indicate the address of the next point on your route by filling out all the address point fields. Click Apply address.
a list will drop down where you can select whether the new point should be the last or first point in the route. If there is already more than 2 points in the route, the drop down list will contain more position options: After 1, After 2, After 3, etc. Select the suitable option to determine the point after which the new point should be positioned. 
and 
to change the order of waypoints in the route. 
You can also create a route with self-selected points on the map. Click on the map to any place where the prospective route will pass. Then select the remaining points. Use the buttons and if you need to change the order of the waypoints in the route.
