Using the Tracking Beta screen's Live History widget, you can view recent asset activity and watch live updates. Each asset's path will be color-coded to differentiate it from other assets you are monitoring. You can view the activity for up to 120 assets, with a maximum of a 24-hour period.
Note: On the legacy Tracking screen, this feature was part of the Map Layers widget and was called the History layer. The Tracking Beta screen has improved the offering and given it its own widget, as shown below.
To see how to view recent and live input events based on your IO profiles (such as Plow Down), go to Mapping Recent and Live Input Activity Using the Tracking Beta Screen's Live History Widget.
To view recent driving activity and monitor it live, follow these steps:
- On the sidebar menu on the left, click
.
- Click Tracking Beta on the flyout menu that appears.
The Tracking Beta screen will open and display the assets of the group you have selected in the Group Chooser. (See Choosing a Group to View Globally for details on how to change your chosen group.)
Note: When you select assets using the Live History widget, only assets that are currently displayed will be listed in the search results, so it might help you to reduce the number to make it simpler to find the ones you want to view history for. You can limit the assets shown by name using the Groups/Assets filter or by property using one of the other filters — or apply a saved filter. See Saving an Asset or Geofence View as a Filter on the Tracking Beta Screen and Viewing Assets or Geofences Saved as a Filter on the Tracking Beta Screen for details. - In the toolbar at the top right of the map, click the Live History icon (
