Filtering mobile units
You can apply two types of filters to the mobile units viewed: (1) a filter based on their name or on characters contained in their name; and (2) a time-based filter.
Filtering mobile units based on their name or on characters in their name
You have two possibilities:
To display a mobile unit or a layer based on its name, use the filter associated with the Name column:
1.Click on the filter's symbol located in the header of the Name column. The drop-down menu appears and displays all available options.
2.Select the mobile unit or the layer you wish to display. The list is modified and displays your choice. This will not affect the map interface.
The filter also offers the options All and Custom.... The latter allows you to define specific conditions (refer to the Conditions section).
3.Select All to clear the filter and display all layers and mobile units.
To display a mobile unit or a layer based on the characters in its name:
1.Enter the desired characters in the search field . All mobile units whose name contains the string of characters entered are displayed in the list. The other mobile units are hidden. The map interface is not modified.
2.Delete the characters to display all layers and mobile units.
Filtering mobile units based on time
You can filter mobile units based on the date of their last activity, either in the list of mobile units using the filter of the Last seen column, or in the mobile units list and map interface using the tool.
To display only the list of mobile units based on the date of their last activity:
1.Click on the symbol located in the header of the Last seen column. The drop-down menu appears and displays the list of available options.
2.Select the desired date. The list is modified to display the mobile units whose last activity date is the one you selected. The map interface is not modified.
The filter also offers the options All and Custom.... The latter allows you to define specific conditions (refer to the Conditions section).

1.Click on to display the list of layers managed by Tracking.
2.Click on the name of the layer whose units you wish to filter.
3.Select the period (in days, hours or minutes) as of which the filter will be applied. Mobile units whose last activity occurs after the period will be shown in the map interface and in the list of mobile units shown in the Tracking window. All other units will not be displayed.
