Notifications

The "Notifications" panel allows you to configure the receipt of notifications for certain object events (for example, when the object's speed exceeds, if the connection with the object is lost, etc.). 

To open the "Notifications" panel, in the top panel, select "Notifications" from the drop-down list. 

The notification table consists of the following columns: 

• Row num. Serial number.
• Actions.
  • - open the notification properties dialog.
  • - delete the notification.
• Id. The identifier of the record.
• Name. The name of the notification.
• Notification type. Type of the notification, for example, "Loss of communication".
• Enabled. Notification flag. You can click the left mouse button to set or clear this flag. 
• Triggering count. The number of notifications at this time.
• Max triggering count. Limit on the number of notifications.
• Date and time of activation. The date and time the notification was activated.
• Objects. The number of objects attached to the notification. When you hover the mouse over the number of objects, a tooltip with object names will be displayed. 
• Last triggering date and time. Date and time of the last triggering of the notification. 
• Date and time of insertion. The date and time the notification was created.

In the "Filter and sort" panel, you can configure sorting and filtering of records.

By default, the table is sorted by the field "Id" in descending order. To sort by a particular field, in the "Sort by field" field, select the field you want to sort, in the "Sort order" field, select the sort order and click on the "Refresh" button. You can also filter on the "Name" and "Notification type" fields, enter the values for these fields and click the "Refresh" button.

To create a notification, click the "Add" button in the toolbar. The notification properties dialog box opens. 

The notification properties dialog box can consist of several consecutive tabs: 

• General.
• Objects.
• Dynamic tab. Depends on the selected value in the "Notification type" field on the "General" tab: 
  • Speed.
  • Geofence.
  • Digital sensor.
  • Message parameter.
  • Sensor value.
  • Loss of communication.
  • Idle.
  • SMS.
  • Relative location of objects.
  • Exceeding the number of messages.
  • Refuel.
  • Defuel.
  • Driver.
  • Maintenance.
• Notification text.
• Actions.

Creating a notification consists of several consecutive steps, broken into tabs, to go to the next tab you need to click the "Forward" button, to return to the previous tab you need to click the "Back" button. 

The "General" tab can consist of the following fields:

• Name. The name of the notification.
• Description. Custom description of the notification. Not a required field.
• Notification type. The following types of notifications are available:
  • Speed. It is used, for example, to control the speed of an object.
  • Geofence. Used for example, to control the exit of an object from a certain zone, for example, city.
  • Alarm (SOS). Used for example to control the pressing of the SOS button by the driver. The corresponding sensor must be set in the properties of the object. 
  • Digital sensor. Used for example to control the ignition on.
  • Message parameter. Used for example to track a parameter in messages from an object.
  • Sensor value. Used for example to monitor the value of the object sensor.
  • Loss of communication. It is used, for example, to control the loss of communication with an object.
  • Idle. Used for example, to control the idle time of an object.
  • SMS. It is used for example when receiving an SMS from an object.
  • Relative location of objects. Used for example to control the approach of objects to each other or to move away from each other. 
  • Exceeding the number of messages. Used for example to control the flow of messages from an object.
  • Refuel. Used, for example, to control the refueling of an object.
  • Defuel. Used for example, to control the defueling of an object. 
  • Driver. Used for example to control the driver's assignment to an object. 
  • Maintenance. Used for example to monitor the oil change in the engine of the object. 
• Enabled. Notification enable flag.
• Date and time of activation. The date and time the notification was activated. 
•  Expire date. Duration of the notification. To determine the validity period, set the flag and specify the date and time. If you do not want to limit the expiration date, clear the flag. 
• Max triggering count. Limit on the number of notifications. If you want to limit the number of notifications, you need to fill in this field. 
• Maximum difference between message time and current time, minutes. This field is visible only for some types of notification. If the flag is set, then if the difference between the message time and the current time is greater than the indicated difference, the message will not be taken into account. For example, if you set this flag and set the value to 60, messages older than 60 minutes from the current time will be ignored. 
• Minimum duration of notification status, seconds. This field is visible only for some types of notification. This parameter allows you to exclude accidental triggering of the notification, for example, due to the error of the tracker, the object was out of the zone, and after a few seconds returned to the zone. To activate, you need to set the flag and specify the duration in seconds. 
• Condition for generating a notification. This field is visible only for some types of notification.
  • When the state changes. The notification will only work if you change from the normal state to the notification status. For example, if the speed of an object is exceeded, the notification will work once, then the speed of the object should fall below the maximum value. 
  • Does not depend on the previous state. The notification will work regardless of the previous status. 
• The minimum duration of the previous state, seconds. This field is visible only for some types of notification. This parameter is designed to exclude unnecessary operations. For example, the object can be in the normal state, then return to the notification status. To activate, set this flag and specify the duration in seconds. 
• Maximum difference between the previous message and the notification message, minutes. This field is visible only for some types of notification. This parameter is designed to exclude unnecessary operations. For example, to control the difference between the time of the previous message and the notification message. To activate, set this flag and specify the difference in minutes. 
• Time limit. For example, the control should be carried out only on working days and during working hours. 
  • Days of the week. For example, the control is only on Monday and Wednesday. 
  • Days of month. For example, control should be performed only on the fifth day of the month.
  • Months. For example, control only in November and December.
  • Time intervals. For example, the control is only from 09.00 AM to 6.00 PM.
