Tracking offers a section for basic management of mobile units. You can access this interface by opening the Mobile management section in the configuration of the Tracking extension.
Among other things, you can assign names to mobile units, assign them a group and decide how long the data will be kept. If your Tracking database does not contain any data yet, skip this step and come back to it when data will be available.
List of mobile units
The list displays all mobile units existing in the Tracking database. If any mobile unit data comes from external systems (e.g. AVL Web data service), it will not be stored in the Tracking database and cannot be configured in this interface. To modify the configuration of a mobile unit, click on the 
icon of the corresponding row.
