Introduction to Place Alerts

Place Alerts lets you set up email notifications when a vehicle enters or exits specific locations. This article will guide you through the creation of a Place notification, helping you maximise efficiency and reduce manual monitoring.

Getting Started with Place Notifications

Step 1: Access the Places Feature

  1. Log in to the Platform:

    • Start by logging into your Sky Ledge account.

  2. Navigate to Places:

    • Go to the "Places" tab from the map bar at the top of the screen.

Step 2: Create a New Rule

  1. Select a Place:

    • Find and click on the place you want to monitor. This will open the place details action bar at the bottom of the screen.

  2. Create a Rule:

    • In the place details action icon select the "Create Rule" option.

    • Choose the vehicle you want to monitor for this place.

    • Save the rule to activate it.

Understanding Rule Notifications

  • Email Alerts:

    • Once a rule is set, you will receive an email alert when the selected vehicle enters or exits the specified place.

  • Rule Archiving:

    • After the rule is triggered and the alert is sent, the rule will be archived automatically. This ensures your alert system remains clutter-free and efficient.

FAQs

Q1: Can I create multiple rules for the same place?

A1: Yes, you can create multiple rules for the same place, but each rule can only monitor one vehicle in the first iteration.

Q2: How do I know if a rule has been triggered?

A2: You will receive an email alert when the rule is triggered, and it will be archived immediately after.

Q3: Can I edit a rule after creating it?

A3: Currently, rules cannot be edited once created. You will need to create a new rule if changes are needed.

Q4: What if I need alerts for more than one vehicle?

A4: At this stage, each rule can monitor only one vehicle. We plan to add multi-vehicle support in future updates.
