To work with this action, you should have the following access rights:

To configure sending mobile notifications, follow these steps:

Register event for unit

This action allows you to register events in the unit history. To do this, you should have the Manage events access right to the unit.

After registering events, you can execute a report on events. In order for events to be registered as violations and to be available in the same-name report, enable the Register as violation option.

In case of sending commands that involve entering text or a message (for example, Send custom message or Send message to driver), you can use the same tags as for the notification text. When executing the command, the specified tags are converted to the values that correspond to them.

Read more about commands here.

Change access to units

This action allows you to automatically change the user’s access rights to units. To do this, you should have the Manage access to this object access right to the user.

To configure this action, follow these steps:

1. Select the users whose access rights you want to change.

   • Add. Allows you to grant the users this access right.
   • Remove. Allows you to remove from the users this access right.
   • Skip. Allows you not to change this access right.

This action can be useful when granting users temporary access rights. For example, the user should track the movement of a unit delivering cargo on a certain territory (geofence A). After the cargo is delivered to the required place (geofence B), the unit should be unavailable for this user. In this case, you should use the notification of the Geofence type.

Set counter value

This action allows you to change the values of the mileage, engine hours, and/or GPRS traffic counters. To do this, you should have the Edit counters access right to the unit.

To configure this action, select the required counters and specify the values that these counters should have when the notification is triggered.

Save counter value as a parameter

This action allows you to save the value of current mileage (odometer parameter) or engine hours (engine_hours parameter) as a parameter in the message. This is required in order to show the initial and final mileage values in the report on trips and convert the engine_hours parameter into the engine hours sensor for further operations. To do this, you should have the Edit counters access right to the unit.

For more precise calculations, it is advisable to store counter values while the unit is parked, for example, once a day at night time.

Register unit status

This action allows you to register the unit status: Business or Personal. To do this, you should have the Manage events access right to the unit. For example, when the unit visits a certain geofence, the unit status can be changed from personal to business or vice versa.

To add the unit to the group when the notification is triggered, click on the required group in the All groups list and, using the icon , move the group to the Add to group list; to remove from the group, to the Remove from group list.
