View Asset Logs

Feature Summary

The View Asset Logs feature in GSatTrack provides users comprehensive access to historical data related to their assets. This feature lets users view logs that capture important events and activities associated with each asset, facilitating better tracking, analysis, and decision-making. By offering automated and manual logging options, GSatTrack ensures users have a complete picture of asset performance and operations.

Overview

Each asset in GSatTrack maintains a series of logs that record data reported to the portal. These logs can be populated automatically from events or require manual inputs from users or asset operators. They serve as historical references that can be accessed regardless of the viewing mode or visible history in the Map Mode. Each log type stores different information, and some logs allow users to add entries or data directly, enhancing the overall functionality of asset management.

How to Use

How-to: View Logs in the Details Panel

The primary means of viewing the data in each log is through the Asset Options tab in the Details Panel. To access the logs:

Open either the Live Mode or History Mode.
From the List Panel, select the asset whose logs you wish to view.
Click the Cog button on that asset to open the Asset Options in the Details Panel.
Expand the subheader in the list called Logs.
Click to open the log you wish to view.

Users can run reports showing the same information in these asset logs. However, viewing the logs directly at the asset level is often essential for finding specific events or isolating data from a single asset.
