View Asset Logs

Feature Summary

View Asset Logs gives GSatTrack users access to each asset's historical logs of events and activities, populated automatically from events or manually by users and operators. These logs persist as historical references regardless of the viewing mode or the visible history in Map Mode, and some log types accept direct user entries.

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.

Additional Information
