General

The left panel contains tabular information about signs and sign groups.
The main panel contains a map.
At the top of the map panel is a hover menu. To make the menu appear, move the mouse over the top of the map panel.
Dates and times are shown in the timezone that your computer is configured to use. They are not necessarily in the timezone that the sign is located.
Some text entry fields are dynamically checked for validity. They will have a green background if valid and a red background otherwise.
Windows that do not have any buttons can be closed by clicking anywhere in the window.

Signs

Signs are listed on the left panel.
To show only certain signs (by group) click on Show/Hide in the groups listed above.
Signs will be displayed on the map if the position is known. A maximum of 208 signs will be shown on the map
The one or two letter "ID" for the sign on the left will match the marker on the map.
The signs are color-coded both in the table and on the map marker:

Hover over the sign on the left panel to see information about the sign.
Click on the sign (either on the left panel or the map icon) to keep the sign information displayed. Click on the information window to dismiss.
Double click on the sign (either on the left panel or the map icon) to edit the sign settings.
To move a sign (that does not support GPS), right click on the map on the location that you want to move the sign and select "Move Sign Here". Then click on the sign on the left panel.
To create a new sign, select "Admin->Signs->Add" from the hover menu.
To create a new sign at a fixed location, right-click on the map at the location and select "Create Sign Here".
To delete a sign, double click on it. In the sign edit window click on the "Delete Sign" button and confirm.
To reset the map to a state where all selected signs are visible, click "Show All On Map" at the bottom of the sign list. Also you can right-click on the map and select "Show All Signs On Map".

Signs Groups

Sign groups are listed at the top of the left panel.
Sign groups can be used to display only signs in particular groups using Show/Hide next to the group name.
Hover over the sign group to see information about the sign group.
Click on the sign group to see the virtual fence for the group. It will only be displayed if it has been previously setup. Click on the map fence to stop displaying.
Double click on the sign group to edit.
In the edit window, use the "Autoset Fence" button to set a virtual fence based on the current sign positions in the group.
To create a new sign group, select "Admin->Signs->Group Add" from the hover menu.

Sign Templates

Sign templates are a time-saver that can quickly fill out fields when creating a sign.
To create a template click "Admin->Signs->Templates".
Only fill out the fields that you want to be populated in a new sign. Leave the others blank.
When editing a sign (new or existing), you can populate the specified fields with the "Populate From Template" pull-down.

Notifcations

Notifications can inform you when signs move outside a virtual fence or if the battery voltage is low.
Notifications can be sent to multiple users via email and/or SMS (text message).
The first step is to create a notification group. To do so:

Select "Admin->Notifications->Edit" from the hover menu.
Add a description for the new notification group.
Select the users that you want notified. You will need to hold down the Ctrl button to select/deselect multiple users.

In order for each user to receive text messages, make sure they have a phone number listed. In addition, the phone number must have both the "SMS/Text" box and the "Notifications" box checked.
Edit the sign group (double click) that you want notifications for.
Select the notification group that you just created.
Check the appropriate combination of the 4 notify checkboxes.
Once a notification has been sent for a sign, even if the condition persists it will not be sent again for a week.
To see the past notifications for a particular sign click on the sign. Then click on "Notification History"
To see the past notifications for all signs click on "Admin->Notifications->Show"

Users

To add or modify a user click on "Admin->Users->Edit".
The edit screen will default to creating a new user.
If you want to modify an existing user, change the pull-down from "New User" to the user you want to modify
All users must have an email and name.
If you are modifying a user, leave the password blank if you do not want to change it.
Users must have "Active" checked to be able to log in. Uncheck it and save to keep a user account, but prevent them from logging in.
Check "Customer Admin" if you want the the user to be able to create signs, sign groups, notification groups, users, etc.
