At the object settings you can manage the settings for your vehicle. This includes how it's displayed in the portal, which functions are supported and which data is collected.

Overview

On opening the object settings you will see an overview page first. Here you can see all vehicles of which you own the required rights. The table helps you to get a quick overview about the current settings. You can filter the view by using the free-text search and vehicle group restriction. Click on the gear wheel at the top right of the table to edit the table view. The table offers a variety of columns which can be shown or hidden and changed in their order.

Edit settings

To edit the settings of a vehicle, hover its line in the table and click on "edit" in the action menu on the right side. If you want to edit multiple vehicles at once, select them by enabling their checkbox and click on "edit multi selection".

Base data

At base data you will see some general info and settings of your vehicle.

Map

Map symbol

The map symbol defines which symbol shall be used to show this vehicle in the map. You can choose between different symbols and colors to represent your vehicle in the best way. Some symbol types are only available in one color.

Routing profile

If you do a routing request at the portal, the best route will be calculated. This route depends on a lot of factors like your vehicles size, its emission or what it's transporting. These factors can be grouped as a routing profile which you can assign to your vehicle here. This profile will be used automatically on planning a new route for this vehicle.

Odometer

These settings are unavailable if your vehicle uses an automatic source for getting odometer values like the Digitacho. Automatic sources should always be preferred to odometer calculation via GPS.

Odometer

By default the odometer value is calculated by the vehicles GPS data. This might lead to variation or you might have to set the intial value. You can do this here. Please notice that there are some requirements for using this function. You can change the odometer value every 10 minutes at max. You have to wait until the vehicle confirmed the last value before you can send another. The new odometer value can not be lower than the last manual value. Editing the odometer value can not be reverted!

Correction factor

Calculating the odometer value based on GPS data might lead to variation. These might be adjusted by adding a general correction factor. If you set a value different from 1, each driven kilometre will be multiplied by this value in the future.

Demarcation

If you connect a telematic box with your vehicle, these two are one unit for YellowFox. All data that is collected by your vehicle belongs to the box as well. However you might want to connect the box to another vehicle in the future, e.g. because the vehicle is broken or will be sold. To not mix the data of the old and new vehicle, it might be useful to demaracte the vehicle first. On demarcation a virtual vehicle is created. All data that has been collected by the vehicle resp. box until then will be assigned to the virtual vehicle and can be accessed via this. The virtual vehicle does not produce any additional costs. All new data will be assigned to the real vehicle. Of course you can undo the demaraction if you need to. A virtual vehicle can not be demaracted again. Please notice that if you delete the real vehicle, the virtual vehicle will be lost as well.

Report

Idle report

To enable the correct evaluation at the idle report, the vehicle has to be activated for this report. Only then the vehicle will send special position messages on detecting an idle state and if the idle has state has ended.

Digitacho profile

Vehicle which do cross-border passenger service apply to other work time laws than for example transport vehicles. Drivers of such vehicles are allowed to work 2 working weeks after another and have to do 2 week idle times afterwards.

If the bus profile is selected, it affects the D8 data of all drivers using this vehicle.

Travel-time report

Here you can set how the travel-time should be recorded. By default this is the time between ignition on and ignition off. You might change this to another input. Furthermore you can decide if the speed should be used for idle detection.

Technical data

At technical data you can see the technical attributes of the telematic box, such as IMEI or serial number. These can not be edited. Furthermore you can add a vehicle identification number if it was not added automatically. Each vehicle identification number owns a "valid from" and can be changed. This enables you to change the VIN if the telematic box was transferred to another physical vehicle.

Fuel cap monitoring

If you own a fuel cap connected via YellowFox, you can see here how much of the guaranteed battery lifetime remains. YellowFox guarantees 3 years of battery life.
