What can you use zones for?
A zone is an area on the map that vehicles and assets must be inside or outside. If a vehicle enters or leaves a zone where it is not allowed to be, it is registered as a violation.
Where to find the zones
1. Select System setup in the menu on the left.
2. Click Fleet management.
3. Find Zones, and click Go to page.
The list shows each zone with the number of vehicles, assets and fleet groups it applies to, and whether they must be located inside or outside the zone. Click the arrow in front of a zone to see which vehicles, assets and fleet groups are linked to it. Click the pencil to edit, or the trash can to delete.
Create a zone
1. Click Create.
2. Enter the zone name (max. 20 characters).
3. Specify the zone on the map. You can choose between three methods, described below.
4. Choose who the zone applies to.
5. Choose whether the selected vehicles and assets must be outside or inside the zone.
6. Click Save.
Three ways to specify the zone
- Draw zone: click on the map and draw the area freehand.
- Polygon: click on the map to place points around the zone.
- Radius: create the zone as a circle around an address. Search for the address in the Address field, and enter the radius in meters.
Use the Address field to find the place on the map where the zone should be. Click Clear if you want to start over.
Who the zone applies to
- All vehicles, assets and fleet groups.
- Selected fleet groups.
- Selected vehicles.
- Selected assets.
Under The selected vehicles and assets must be, choose Outside the zone or Inside the zone. Outside the zone is selected by default.
When a zone is violated
On the Dashboard under Fleet vehicles, the Driving zone violation card shows wrongful driving in or outside zones. If it says All vehicles are OK, there are no zone violations. Click the arrow in the top right corner of the card to see the violations on the Fleet violations page.
- Violations are shown on the Fleet violations page under Fleet vehicles. If an employee is assigned to the vehicle, the employee is also shown.
- You can receive a message in the Action center. Tick Violation where a vehicle or asset has entered or left a zone without authorization under System setup > Fleet management > Action center.
