How do I assign Resources By Groups?

For organisations with larger numbers of vehicles, it is often useful to group these resources into administrative groups for easy viewing and assigning to users.

3 To Remove Resources or Users from Groups

Creating groups

Log into the Smartrak Admin site (NZ or AU)
Navigate to Manage > Groups
Click on the 'Create' Tab on the right hand side of the main Groups page
Enter the name of the group in the 'Name' text box as shown below
If you want all users to automatically be assigned to this group, then tick the 'Yes' box under the Name box

To Assign Resources or Users to Groups

When the Administrator receives the Smartrak Install email (which comes from either website@smartrak.co.nz or website@smartrak.com.au), which includes the following information:

Click on the 'Assign' Tab on the right hand side of the main Groups page
To assign resources to a group, click on the blue 'Resources to Group' button as shown below
Then select the group that you want the vehicles to belong to from the drop down menu
From the list that appears in the left hand box under "Resources not assigned to Group" select the vehicles you wish to assign to the group and add them by clicking on the right facing arrow
The selected resource(s) will then show in the right hand list as being successfully assigned
To assign users to the group (which will automatically provide them with viewing access to the vehicles), follow the same steps but under the 'Users to Group' option

To Remove Resources or Users from Groups

To remove resources or users from a group, simply select them in the right hand 'Resources assigned to Group' list and click on the left facing arrow
The resource or user should now appear in the left hand list as unassigned
