More SiteAdmin settings moved in-app

A well-configured fleet solution sets customers up for success. From enabling roles and privileges to configuring device listeners and custom variables, you can do more within GpsGate after updating in December. Here’s what’s new in-app:

Migrate SiteAdmin Settings into the platform

Fleet management should be seamless - for system integrators, and end users alike. Moving settings from SiteAdmin into the platform ensures a more streamlined workflow, allowing for settings to be changed right in the UI. No need to leave the application to fine-tune it for fleet customers. If you can't find what you're looking for, navigate to your application and use the search menu to find what you’re after.

Please note: Create and edit functions have moved in-app. These settings are now available directly in applications for SiteAdmin users. Go to any application’s main menu and select Server Administration → Application → Manage Applications.

Here are some highlights from migrating SiteAdmin settings into GpsGate:

• Reprocess Report & Reprocess Tracks were moved from SiteAdmin to Server Administration inside the application
• Stop / Start of the service was removed from SiteAdmin
• Manage Data Providers is still available in SiteAdmin
• The legacy scripting engine was removed. The new scripting engine will be used as the default
• Bing and HERE map settings have been migrated into the application
• "Manage speed queries" under Reporting has been removed from legacy SiteAdmin
