Each alert will have a distinct rule that will be applied to the vehicles. Users will define the rule in this section according to the needs of the company. 

To get redirected to the alert rules, click on the “Alert Rules” option from the menu under the “Configurations” module as shown below.

To define the rule, users need to click on the alert name and the rule will open in a pop up where users need to enter required values.

1. How does early arrival work?

Users will get notified of the “Early Arrival” alert if the vehicle violates the defined rule. To know how to set the rule, follow the below steps

Step 1: Click on the “Early Arrival” from the “Alert Rules” screen as shown below:

Step 2: Users need to enter two fields in pop up as shown below

1. If Actual Arrival Time is less than Estimated Arrival Time by the value entered under “1”(as shown in below image) or more, then the system will consider the vehicle to be early arrived at the location.
