1 Introduction
1.1 Scope and Purpose

Thank you for using our aviation tracking system, the premier web-‐based application for
tracking and managing air, sea, and ground-‐based assets.
Our Software is sold as Software as a Service. This means that the software is not locally
installed, but instead is accessed online through your web-‐browser. This lets us publish our
most recent releases quickly, and for free to our users. As these upgrades occur, you will be
notified in advance and training, if required, will be provided.
Some features of the TrooTrax platform are premium services, that may require a
supplemental charge.
Our Software is built with a hierarchy that allows configuration at the OEM, Reseller or End
User level.
This document has been updated on July 12, 2016 and reflects version 4.7, using the “Flyer
Theme”.
This document is aimed at Administrators and is supplemental to the overall user guides.
The document essentially follows the flow from left to right on the menu bar, so although all
functionality is addressed, it does not necessarily follow the process flow for a particular
task.
2 View

The View tab is for looking at your fleet within the context of how you have set up your
system. You can see your fleet in the map, do replays on their trips, review device
information and waypoints stored in the system, and review the events as set up for your
devices.

4.7 Assets Tab

This assets tab allows you to view all assets within your fleet. It provides information about
each asset including name, last update, and device type. Use the View button ( ) located
next to each asset name in order to view more detailed information about that specific asset
such as times, location, heading, velocity, odometer reading, state, and events. Use the
arrows above each list ( ) to move to the next page, previous page, last page, or first page

13
View Help Guide
5 Assets Tab
Aircraft are listed in this section. They can be sorted by icon type, name or status by
clicking into the column title.

5.1 Icons
Icons are not just pictures; they also have rule associated with them. For example, if you
choose a plane icon for a car, when you are moving it will be described as inflight. Although
not critical this should be taken into account when registering devices
Icons also are surrounded by a halo if they are active or have been active within the period
defined in the Device Display preferences (24 hours for RT)
5.2 Aircraft Status

• Landed – Aircraft is not moving.

• Inflight – Aircraft is on a trip and moving.
• N/A – Aircraft has not transmitted data for a long time, or suddenly lost GPS,
or has stopped transmitting while moving and active status has ended.
Icon halos and Aircraft status work together to provide more information in the Aircraft List
Aircraft can be stopped but recently active, or moving with an alarm. These work together
in the image on the next page;
14
View Help Guide
Inflight with a Critical Alarm (Halo is Red)
Inflight and Moving (Halo is green)
Landed and Stopped (No Halo)
15
View Help Guide
The results are also impacted by Trip information. If the devices do not have trips set up
properly, they may display N/A as the Status even though they may be moving at the time.
The halo would still appear green in this case.
5.3 Taking action with assets

Upon selecting an asset, you can perform certain actions by clicking links in the “Take
Action With Asset” window at the bottom of the asset tab. The functions are as follows:
Task Description
Move To Asset Locate the selected asset and show the details of the asset at
the current time in the Results pane.
Zoom to Asset Zoom in on the selected asset.
Track Asset Tracks the asset’s movement in the map pane or opens a
tracking pane in a new window to the left of the dialogue
box on the left if the map settings are adjusted.
View Activity On Opens the View Activity tab.
Send Message Open Send Message tab. See "Sending Messages"
Filter Opens the Fleet Filter tab. See "Viewing Assets"
Fleet Summary Opens the Fleet Summary tab in the ‘Results’ dialogue box
and shows overall information about assets in the fleet.
Turn Labels On/Off Enable or disable event labels in the map view.
16
View Help Guide
5.4 Viewing Asset Activity

When you turn View Activity On, all assets disappear. You are now looking at a historical
view of the map, but you have not selected any history to view.
Select the date range you are interested in from the View Activity Tab in the Results Area
Highlight the trips you are interested in to see where the device was during a specific Trip.
This is trip based so if trips are not properly configured for the device, there may not be
multiple trips or perhaps far too many trips
Trips do not necessarily end on precise dates, so the trip at the beginning and the trip at the
end will rollover to a previous/subsequent date.
Customer Support Note: Occasionally people call in saying their assets have disappeared.
This is one of the things to look for – especially if the company shares accounts – someone
else may be logged in with the same account
17
View Help Guide
5.5 Filters

Filters are available in the action part of the map.
If you turn Filters on, the results section shows 3 panels:
The first panel shows filtering on All Aircraft (this is the default state)
If you select Active Aircraft or Alarms the second panel of options becomes available and
you can select whichever you like (no fix, inflight, landed, alert)
The third panel allows you to check on groups that would have access to the aircraft in their
ACL (Access Control List).
Once you have made all the selections, click on Apply Filter
18
View Help Guide
Notice that the F on the map (below the scale bottom right) is now Yellow. That means the
map has an active filter on it.
To turn filters off, go to the filter tab in the results section and select all aircraft and apply.
Customer Support NOTE: Occasionally people call in saying their aircraft have disappeared.
Filtering is one of the things to look for – especially if the company shares accounts
5.6 Fleet Summary

Shows a listing of all assets (is impacted by filtering) and their status as well as other fleet
information in results pane
5.7 Turn Labels On

Labels can be turned on or off on the map with this link

5.8 Animation
If you have animated icons, they can have the animation turn on or off with this link
6 Events Tab

The Events list can be accessed from the Asset tab by clicking the Events link. Use the
Events list to view and manage alerts as they come in from assets.
Each event is colored based on the Event class it belongs to: If the vehicle shows a normal
halo state, and white background, it represents an information event. If a vehicle shows a
yellow background and a blue halo, it is a medium severity alert, finally a red halo
represents a critical alert.
20
View Help Guide
Note that alert severity is customer defined, so in a multiple customer view, a landing alert
can be information only, medium severity (as seen above) or high severity.
