DAILY PROCESSING MENU
The Daily Processing Menu is the main area where you will be able to track devices, view activity, view route history, view service orders, create landmarks, and create Event Notifications for all devices.
Each section will be covered in detail in its respective section.
Device Current Status
Device Current Status is the first menu function. It is where you can get the device status for all your vehicles. It will show the devices in a grid-style format, showing Vehicle Name, Tech Code, Status, Date, Time, Lat/Long, Location, Ignition status, and Garmin Status.
You can use the Orange Arrow Icon to expand the details for each device. This will show you a map with the truck location and the last status received by the device.
You may click on the Refresh Icon (Top Right Hand Corner) to refresh overall data.
You can also map all your vehicles on a map by clicking the “Display all Vehicles On Map” button. Doing this will display a map with all the vehicle icons shown in their last know location.
While this is a great tool, Viewing all your vehicles in a map, is even more powerful through RemoteView. A Section covered in this same guide.

Device Daily Activity
Device Daily activity is a quick report that can be used to view the daily activity of your fleet. You can create reports for the entire fleet, a group or a single specified vehicle. You may customize your own parameters and customize your report to give you the information you want to view.
- Division - Select the Division, if your company only has one, there will only be one option.
- Group - You may select a group to narrow down your search or to run a report on the entire group. You may leave as is, to run the report on the entire Division.
- Vehicle - You may select a single Vehicle or leave as-is for a full group report.
- Display Results in One Page - Selection required if you do not wish to navigate through pages. This will show all results in one page.
- From Date - Starting Date to run Report.
- Time - Starting Time to run Report.
- To Date - Ending Date to run Report.
- Time - Ending Time to run Report.
- Exclude Motion Detection Events - Exclude any records for Motion Detection.
- Exclude MiniMoving Events - Exclude any records for MiniMoving Events. MiniMoving Events are events that occur within the normal 2 minute reporting intervals. RFV devices send data every 2 minutes. These are main Moving events. In those two minutes, we record movement every 20 seconds. The main Moving event sends all MiniMoving events along with it, which could create a lot of data which you may or may not find useful. Checking this box will only provide the Main events to declutter the report for easier reading.
- Find - The FIND button is used to display the results on the web browser. Used when report is for viewing only.
- Run Report - The Run Report button is used to create a report via Crystal Reports, if you need to print or e-mail to another person.
If you choose to Run Report, you will see the following options:
- To Screen - You can see the report on Screen
- To File – Sends report to PDF format and downloads the reports for you.
- To Email - Creates the PDF Document and sends it to desired e-mail address.
Define Landmark
Landmarks are used to create locations of interest in your map. This helps to give you a visual aid in you map of how close a vehicle is to a predefined location. We will go over setting up Landmarks and how to properly use them.
The Landmark screen should look like the example below, if you are new client, it will be blank.
You can create a new one by clicking Add New Landmark.
The form will need to be filled in with your landmark’s information.
- Code - Short Code for your Landmark.
- Description - Description of your Landmark.
- Landmark Type Code - Choose from Airport, Bldg. (Building), Cmp-Shop (Company Shop), Cust-Loc (Customer Location), Factory, Home, Tower, Vend-Loc (Vendor Location)
- Division - Your Company Division Name.
- Geo-Fence Radius (ft) - Geo-Fence Radius is used to create a geo-coded radius around your newly created landmark. While your GPS location is interpreted as a latitude and longitude point on a map, the Geo-fence, allows your landmark to be a bigger presence on the map. This allows your landmark to create a barrier that, when entered/exited, can trigger notifications for you. We suggest that you start your geo-fence radius at 250 and adjust as you see fit.
- Address - Street Address
- City
- State/Provence
- Zip/Postal Code
- Country
- Display Image - You can select an icon that best fits your landmark location.
- Latitude - Set to 0.000000. These are updated when you plot your address. We will discuss this below.
- Longitude - Set to 0.000000. These are updated when you plot your address. We will discuss this below.
- Plot Address - If you only have an address, this button will perform a Forward GeoCode request to get the closest Coordinates to the address provided.
- Update Address from Geo-Code - If you only have coordinates, this button will perform a Reverse GeoCode request to get the closest address to the coordinates provided.
If your location is correct after clicking on Plot Address simply click on Select Geo Location. Click OK and your Landmark is now created successfully.
The accuracy of the coordinates may be poor at times, as GPS coordinates are always evolving.
If you feel that the Red pin is not accurately displaying your location, you can adjust the coordinates while getting the location. Simply click on the map location that you wish to select, and it twill drop a green pin. Then click on Select Picked Location to select those coordinates.
br>
Click OK and you now have your landmark created.
If you ever need to edit the location, you can simply open your existing Landmark, and click the Orange Arrow Icon. You can geocode your location again and/or change any values as needed.
You can visualize your geofence on the map by using the Landmark Radius option.
As you can see, the radius allows you to see where your geofence exists and where a vehicle would activate a geocode notification.
Note: The procedure for creating Landmarks is only used for displaying the landmarks on the map. In order to create notifications, you will need to set up Landmark Events. We will explain how to setup these events in the EVENTS portion below.
Back To Top
Events
Events are used to create automatic e-mail notifications on specific events and also used to log Event activation. These can be created for various events that will be covered in this section. RemoteField View has several device types. Each device has its own events while others may not be allowed.
- One of these differences is OBDII Data. The LMU3035 (Plug-and-Go unit) is capable of retrieving some OBDII Data and will trigger alerts if the data is available to us, these events will only apply to these units.
- Mobile Tracking App. Limited to some events as they are using the mobile Device to track the technicians location.
- There are also common events that can be used across all devices.
The Plug-and-Go unit is able to get information from the on-board computer. However, we are limited to some information depending on the manufacturer of the vehicle, and if they allow that data to be retrieved. As such, not all data will be available.
The following list of events are available as common events for all units:
- Landmark
- Idling
- Mileage (Not available for Mobile App)
- Off-Hours Use
- Speed
- Stop Count
- Stop Duration
- Technician Call
- Main Power Off
- Towing
- Driver Behavior
The following Events are available for the LMU3035 (Plug-and-Go Unit). Subject to available vehicle data retrieval:
- Low Fuel
- Low Battery Voltage
- MIL Active
- ABS Light Active while Driving
- Engine Oil Temp High
- Coolant Temp High
- Seat belt Not Fastened
- Engine Oil Pressure High
We will go over setting up each event for your company, how to set up notifications, and how to set up vehicle monitoring.
Standard settings for all Events
All events have 4 sections in common. Please read this portion to understand how notification will work. - Schedule Type - Notification Tab - Device Tab - History
Schedule Type
We will need to select our Schedule for when this event should be monitored. This is done in the SCHEDULE TYPE section. 24 X 7 is a default. It will monitor the event all week and 24 hours a day. The other option is for Weekdays only, with start and stop hours.
For my Landmark Event example, I will leave it at 24x7 as I wish to monitor at all times.
I added my BPELGIN landmark by clicking ADD.
Click OK to continue.
Next, we will setup who receives the NOTIFICATIONS.
Notification Tab
The Notification Tab is where we dictate which user will receive notifications. You may not want all users to get notification for a certain event. Like all the other screens, the left hand side is your list of available items, and the right side is the list of items that belong to this event.
In this example, I only have one user (Dorian) who will receive notifications belonging to this event. This is why creating users for each employee is crucial for notifications.
Each user has an email address assigned. We will use the email address that is assigned to the user to send emails. You can click the Send Test Email button to test that all users are able to receive the notification.
Next, we will move to the DEVICES TAB to select the vehicles that will be part of this Event.
Device Tab
The DEVICES TAB is used to add devices to this event. I can set my event to only monitor certain devices or all, depending on how you want to monitor this event.
Like all the other screens, the left hand side is your list of available items, and the right side is the list of items that belong to this event.
The Select By field is used to view all vehicles, or filter by groups to make it easier to find your device.
In this example, I have 3 Devices subject to this Event. This means that the Landmark event will only be triggered when those three devices arrive/depart the landmark in this event.
History Tab
The HISTORY TAB will list all the events recorded to this event.
You may query here for any events that have been triggered. Simply select a start and end date time to get the history.
Now that we’ve gone through the common settings, we can explain each Event and their purpose.
Landmark Event
The Landmark Event is useful for automatically reporting when a vehicle arrives or departs from a specific landmark.
* You can create one event to monitor multiple landmarks. * Create one event for only one specific landmark. * Create separate events to monitor a group of vehicles. * Create one Event for a single device.
As we mentioned in the Landmark section, geofences set on your landmarks, are important for this event as we will use the geofence radius to know when a device has arrived/departed.
To continue with this example, we will assume that you have already defined one or more landmarks.
First, click on Add New Event and select the Event Type as Landmark.
- Event Type – Landmark
- Event Code – Landmark Code (Keyword) 10 Character Max.
- Event Name – Full name of the Event you are creating.

Today’s Activity
Today’s activity is used to map out the route the device has taken for the current day. When running this report, you may have a significant loading time. The longer the route, the longer it will take to load. The route will be drawn on the map to show where the vehicle started and it’s most current location.
As you can see in this example, I have mapped the technician’s route for today. Each small dot on the route is called a data point. Each data point record the activity at that location. Data points are marked every 2 minutes. Clicking on a data point will give you more information.
While this can be useful to you, you may want some more information. Some more text to show you data of each data point. We can use the link “DEVICE SUMMARY” to get more information.
This will display a pop up window showing you the direction of travel from start to current status, from top to bottom. If you are interested in a specific data point her, you can click on VIEW and it will show the location on the map.
You can also check to see if the vehicle has been close to any of your assigned landmarks. You can do this by going to the area labeled Show in Map. Select Landmarks and it will display on the map.
You can also select travel direction if the route is not very clear.
Yesterday’s Activity
Will give you the activity for yesterday. Same as Today’s activity, all the same options are available, only the date changes.

Define Driver Behavior Thresholds
Driver Behavior Thresholds are monitored using acceleration measurements. We monitor Hard Acceleration, Hard Braking, Hard Left Turns, and Hard Right Turns. The default setting within the GPS devices are set to Moderate.
These settings can be modified to Mild, Moderate, or Strict. You can also create your own custom thresholds for each vehicle, a group of vehicles, or your whole fleet.
Below are the default measurements for the Moderate Threshold chosen from the drop down menu.
You can create your own threshold by entering your Acceleration Threshold in MPH, the Minimum duration the vehicle has to exceed the set threshold, and the Maximum duration that will end the event.
To apply a given threshold to a group of vehicles which is predetermined in Group Maintenance, chose from the Apply Profile drop down menu.
You can also apply a Threshold Profile to specific vehicles by checking the boxes next to each vehicle you would like to add to the Profile and clicking on the arrow to move them from Available to Selected Devices.
