EROAD's powerful Groups (Fleets) function manages both vehicles and drivers. This allows flexible monitoring and reporting of organizational units in MyEROAD. This feature is only available to users with Client Administrator and Unit Manager roles. The following topics are described on this page:
Groups (Fleets) Overview
Groups (Fleets) are used in the MyEROAD for two reasons:
- Filtering Vehicles and/or Drivers -- Use the fleet filters to limit the number of vehicles or rows in lists, if you have a lot of vehicles and drivers. This helps you quickly find the information you need.
- Access controls -- Users can be set up to access only certain vehicles and drivers using Groups (Fleets) permissions. This means users can be set up to only see the vehicle/driver activity, and the reports of vehicles for which they are responsible.
Note: Visibility of vehicles and drivers is managed through fleet access in Administration > Users.
Groups (Fleets) can be set to include one or many vehicles and drivers as shown in the following illustration.
Groups (Fleets) Page
The Manage Groups (Fleets) page is divided into three sections. The list of groups is shown in the center section of the screen. The list of vehicles in the selected group is shown in the Vehicles in Group section. The list of drivers in the selected group is shown in the Drivers in Group section.
- Click a group name in the center section to select it and reveal the vehicles and drivers in that group in the Vehicles in Group and Drivers in Group sections of the screen.
