Admin

The Unit Settings tab is where administrators can manage their Assets. Assets are vehicles, trailers, dollies, or any other piece of equipment that has a GPS unit installed on it. Assets also include equipment that may not have a GPS unit but will have an inspection performed on it. Every asset has both required and optional information that can be included in reports throughout Zonar Ignition. This tab allows users to modify those properties.

How to Create a New Asset

Click the Add Unit button at top right of the tab to open the Add New Unit menu. Once the unit information has been entered, click Save to create the new asset.

How to Edit an Existing Asset

Use either the search tools or scroll down the asset list to locate the asset that needs editing. On the asset's line click the Edit icon underneath the Actions column to open the Edit Unit menu. Once unit information has been edited, click Save Changes to update the asset.

Assigning and Reassigning GPS IDs To Assets

In either the Add New Unit or Edit Unit menus scroll to the GPS Unit field.

Assigning a GPS Unit

Click the GPS Serial Number drop menu and select a GPSID. Click Update GPS to assign it to the asset.

Reassigning a GPS Unit

Click the GPS Serial Number drop menu and select Empty. Click Remove GPS to unassign it from the asset.

How to Fix an Auto Created Asset

If a GPS unit is powered on but not associated with an asset inside of Zonar Ignition, it will create an “Auto Created Asset” that will need to be either updated or re-assigned.

If the GPS unit was installed into a new asset and triggered an Auto Created asset, simply update the properties for that asset.

If the GPS unit was installed into an existing asset but triggered an Auto Created asset, the GPS ID must be unassigned from the Auto Created asset and then assigned to the appropriate asset. To re-assign the GPS ID to the correct asset, follow these steps:

1. Set the GPS ID of the existing asset to Empty.
2. Set the GPS ID of the Auto Created asset to Empty.
3. Set the GPS ID of the existing asset to the GPS ID that was associated with the Auto Created asset.

The Crew tab is where companies can create profiles for their fleet mechanics. Once created, a mechanic profile can be assigned to work on or approve repairs for Open Defects in the EVIR report.

How to Add a Mechanic

1. In the top right corner of the tab click the Add Mechanic button.
2. Fill in the mechanic's name, username, and location.
3. Click Add Mechanic.

Driver Association is a process that uses authentication data from Zonar Ignition tools to connect drivers with the vehicle they operated in. The Driver Association tab allows fleet administrators to choose those authentication options.

Available authentication sources include camera pairing, submitted EVIR inspections, and tablet use. Sources can be enabled, disabled, and edited from this tab.

The Equipment Configuration tab allows administrators to review Asset Types and custom fields that affect Unit Settings. 

Asset Types displays the available vehicle profiles in Unit Settings tab. 

Asset Subtypes allows further granularity when reporting on an asset. Users can add various vehicle subtypes, such as Small Pick Up Truck, Large Service Truck, etc. will allow easier filtering on reports.

Asset Fields and Operator Fields provides options for users to create custom fields that store additional information on assets and operators.l

The Inputs tab displays the current input labels, which are used to identify discrete I/O channels on GPS devices. These labels appear in reports and alerts to help identify what each input represents.

Label inputs are numerically labeled and are associated with the corresponding colors as described on the label.

Input labels are used for all assets associated with the account. For consistency, it is recommended that fleet assets using the discrete I/O feature track the same I/O events.

The Camera Management tab is where companies can review the camera devices assigned to their account and fine tune their alert configurations.

Assets

The Assets tab displays all the cameras deployed to an account. Cameras take the form of Camera Assets which have profiles that can be edited to provide identifiers regarding the vehicle number the camera is installed in, the vehicle's Duty Type, and operator.

Configuration

The Configuration tab allows administrators to set device behavior, video quality, and hardware interaction settings.

Camera Device Configuration

Server Side: Determines how video recordings display in Zonar Ignition

• Video Quality: Sets the resolution of video recordings.
• Video Orientation: Sets the display options for video recordings of ADAS and DMS video recordings.

Device Behavior: Sets camera recording options.

• Physical Interaction: Conditional settings for camera recording and location-based exceptions. 
• Surveillance Mode: Provides options that limit camera recording capabilities.
• Hardware Interaction: Allows set up of Panic Button feature.
• Driver Controls: Enables driver override for camera volume and driver consent for recording.
• Sentry Mode: Same as Surveillance but will only have the Driver camera active and will only activate on vibration.

DSA Audio Alerts: Sets when events trigger an audio alert on the device.

Event Criteria: Allows configurations on which events are detected and their sensitivity thresholds.

DSA Warning Grace Period: Sets the minimum time (in seconds) between repeated warnings for each event type.

Safety Mapping: Maps each safety event to a severity level and defines the device action taken when triggered.

Edits can be applied by clicking the Save Configuration button. Changes can be reverted by clicking the Reset button and then clicking Save Configuration.

The Locations tab allows administrators to manage the home terminals--known as Locations--for their company fleets. Locations are used for simple geographic or logical grouping and fleet separation. Locations can be applied to Assets, Drivers, Operators, and Zonar Ignition users. If users are set to a specific location filter, they will only be able to view assets and drivers assigned to that specific location.

Zonar Ignition uses Geofences for several functions, including alerts and for filtering reports. A geofence is an area manually set, or pre-loaded that outlines a boundary of interest.

The Login History tab provides an archived list of recent user logins, logouts, password reset requests, and failed login attempts. The tab sorts these events based on type into two subtabs: Login History and Failed Login.

The Data Retention tab allows administrators to configure how long data is retained before automated cleanup. Zonar Ignition allows companies to set data retention limits for the following types of data:

EVIR (Electronic Vehicle Inspection Report): Pre-trip and post-trip inspection records, defect reports, and sign-off data.

GPS / Telematics: Vehicle location history, vehicle trails, speed data, and geofence events.

ELD (Electronic Logging Device): Hours of Service records, driver logs, duty status changes, and compliance data.

Changes apply account-wide. If data retention limits are increased the new settings will not recover any data that was recorded before the prior setting.
