Smartrak App Site Home Screen and User Features

When you first enter the Home Screen, the map displays the area in which ALL your assigned vehicles/assets are located.

Navigating around Smartrak map is similar to other mapping applications, such as Google Maps.

  1. You can use your mouse’s roller to zoom in or out.

  2. Click down and hold on the left hand side of the mouse to grab the screen and pull it the direction you wish to go.

  3. There is also a helpful menu on the right click of your mouse. For more detail see the Right Click menu.

At the top of the page is a bar (highlighted below in yellow). On that bar are Feature buttons that you click on, to take you to the different functions/modules of Smartrak.

These could be different for each user depending on what you have been given permission to view by your administrator.

 

 

Universal Search box

Next to the function icons, is the Universal Search box. This allows for smart searches of addresses, vehicles, drivers, map tags or geofences within Smartrak.

 

 

Vehicles on the Map

The current locations of your vehicles/devices are shown on the map. The position of a vehicle is indicated by an EVENT ICON and the RESOURCE NAME .

A list of all your assigned vehicles is displayed down the right hand side. Vehicles are listed alphabetically by Resource Name and then by date of the last recorded event for that vehicle.

See the Overview of viewing Vehicle Information & History for more detail.
