Asset & Multi-Asset Location Sharing

Location sharing in Telematics Guru lets you give external parties temporary visibility of an asset's location via a link, without giving them a Telematics Guru login. This is useful for courier companies, hire companies and similar organisations that want to show a customer where a delivery, parcel or loan vehicle is. This guide covers sharing a single asset and sharing multiple assets at once. Both are accessed from the Live View.
 

Asset Location Sharing

From the Live View, select an asset and click the world icon to share its location with anyone via a link. (The bell icon next to it is used to Activate a Movement Alert.)

Location sharing has a number of options and customisations available that may be useful for courier companies or hire companies to track assets, parcels or loan vehicles. Asset sharing allows customers of such organisations to be temporarily given access to the location of the truck delivering their goods, for example.

You will be presented with a list of information you wish to share (for example, you might want to show the speed the driver is doing, and potentially incriminate them!).

Set the Start Date - this can be in the future   Duration to share   Generic Fields common to all assets and device types, tick to select what you want displayed The comment will be what is entered in 6   Created by will display the full name of the user who has created the link.   Asset Digital Inputs - as set up in the I/O Mappings. These are dependent on device   Asset Device Analog Input values as per the I/O mappings set up against the asset.

Once you have clicked Share, you will be taken to the Share asset location manager.

This screen gives you an overview of all the current shared sessions (you can make more than one link).

1. Current status of share link. A green icon means the link is live. Grey means it is yet to become active.
    
2. Creation date, start date and duration of share
    
3. Copy share link to the clipboard
    
4. Email share link via TG
    
5. Open share link in a new tab
    
6. Delete the share link. It will stop working for anyone using it.
    
7. New share - if you already have a link created, this is how to create a secondary one.
    

Below is an example of what is shown on the share link: the location plus the selected information.

Multi-Asset Location Sharing

You are also able to share multiple assets' locations, allowing customers to track fleets rather than individual assets. For example, a hire company may rent a few vehicles to a customer for a few days, so it can give them visibility of where they are via this feature.

1. Navigate to Assets -> Multi-Asset Location Sharing
   
    
2. Create New Share
   You are able to select multiple assets which will be shared in the single link.
   
    
3. Click Share
   
   1. Allows you to copy the link
       
   2. Allows you to preview the Multi-Asset Location Share link
       

Below is an example of what is shown on the share link: the location of the assets and the asset list.
