Introduction to MyAdmin

MyAdmin is the primary management tool for Geotab Partners. With the MyAdmin portal, the ultimate goal is to help you deliver a seamless and positive experience to our mutual Customer, while growing our shared reputation and brand value in the marketplace. This document provides in-depth guidance on using the features and functionality of the MyAdmin portal.

We encourage you to visit our website (www.geotab.com) and our Partner administration portal (myadmin.geotab.com) regularly for updates to policies and relevant bulletins, notices, and news to help you maximize your success as a Geotab Partner.

NOTE: If you are viewing the MyAdmin User Guide as a Google Doc, go to View > Show outline in the top-menu to expand the Outline and navigate between sections within the document.

Policies and Procedures

The Geotab Partner Policies document outlines policies and procedures, and sets expectations, conventions, and practices, providing you, our Partner, with guidelines to enhance and clarify our working relationship.

MyAdmin Portal

As the primary management tool, MyAdmin functions as a single point of access for all order, shipment, account and device administration, and return-related needs. This document provides detailed information about each page and feature, as well as step-by-step guidance on using MyAdmin.

  1. Mozilla Firefox — Version 76 or later

  1. Navigate to the MyAdmin portal.
  2. Select the Create an account link.
  3. Enter the Company Name, Email Address, First name, and Last name of the user.

! IMPORTANT: If you attempt to log in before confirming the email address, you will receive an error message prompting you to check your inbox for the account confirmation email.

Roles for user access

Roles are required to use the features and functionality available in MyAdmin. For detailed information about the required roles, refer to MyAdmin Roles.

MyAdmin Login Credentials

It is your responsibility to keep any user identification or passwords issued to you in order to access our website or other services (“Login Credentials”) safe and secure and not to disclose them to any other person, unless you want to give such a person the authority to act on your behalf. You are solely responsible for any actions taken using your Login Credentials. You must only provide your Login Credentials when logging into our website or through other automated means. For security reasons, our service representatives will never ask you for your password, and you must not disclose Login Credentials to anyone asking for it. When speaking with our representatives, they will follow other verification procedures to validate your identity.

For the safety, security, and integrity of your data, users who have not logged in to MyAdmin for more than 90 days are considered inactive and will have their accounts disabled.

To protect against unauthorized activity, accounts with 21 consecutive failed login attempts within a short period of time will be locked. After 10 minutes, you may attempt to log in again or change your password. Contact us to manually unlock your account.

Compromised Login Credentials

If you believe the security of your Login Credentials has been compromised, or you suspect unauthorized use, you must notify us immediately. You will be responsible for all changes to your account, communications, use of services, orders, transactions and charges, which are made using your Login Credentials, whether by you or anyone else, until you notify us.

Once you notify us, we will suspend your account and will make arrangements for continued use of our platform or services. If we suspect, in our reasonable opinion, fraudulent or unauthorized activity on your account, we reserve the right to terminate or suspend your access to our platform or services and any related services and will use reasonable efforts to contact you to resolve the matter.

Access databases with MyAdmin credentials

We recommend that you use MyAdmin Authentication to access the databases of our mutual Customers. The benefits of using MyAdmin Authentication include:

  1. Single Access Point Authentication — Allows Partners to log in to any of their databases using a single MyAdmin account, rather than an individual account for every Customer database.
  2. Accountability — Provides accounts for each user, for each database, instead of a group alias for accessing databases. This means that users and their actions can be identified through the audit log.
  3. Security — Facilitates the process to remove all access for an employee who leaves the company, using a single ticket.

Partner access to databases

To ensure that your employees can access MyGeotab databases with their MyAdmin login credentials:

  1. Your Customer must have Allow Partner to access this database enabled in MyGeotab. If the feature is not enabled, only the user who created the database can log in with their MyAdmin login credentials.
  2. Users must have the MyGeotabAccess role in MyAdmin. To learn more, refer to MyAdmin Roles.

To enable this feature in MyGeotab, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to MyGeotab.
  2. Go to System > Settings from the main menu.
  3. Under the General tab, toggle Allow Partner to access this database to Yes.
  4. document Image

  5. Select Save to save your changes.

This database now allows Partner access.

! IMPORTANT: Do not set Allow Partner to access this database to Yes if it goes against the agreement you have with our mutual Customer.

Database Majority Account

For Customers who are supported by more than one Partner, a Majority Account is automatically selected for the following purposes:

  1. MyGeotab Authentication — Users that belong to the Majority Account for a database must meet certain criteria to log in to the database. For more information, see the MyAdmin Login Credentials section.
  2. MyGeotab Database Information — Users that belong to the Majority Account for a database can access data about that database (for example, database activity from https://myadmin.geotab.com/v1/databaseactivity).
  3. Data Sharing — When a device is shared with a database, the share fee is billed to the Majority Account of that database.
  4. Support Services — When a new account becomes the Majority Account for a database, the Support Services status of that database may change based on the account settings. When the Majority Account for a MyGeotab database changes, any previous configuration of the Support Services status for that database is lost.
  5. Marketplace — The Marketplace solution information (for example, pricing) corresponds to the Majority Account for the database. Orders requests submitted through the Order Now program via the Marketplace are created as Planning Orders in the Majority Account for the database.

For each MyGeotab database, the account with the most devices in the database is selected as a Majority Account.

NOTES:

  1. The system performs a calculation to determine the Majority Account every two hours. Devices that are shared from another account are not included in the calculation.
  2. If a MyGeotab database is registered by a Partner user type, the Majority Account is associated with the account associated with that user.
  3. If a MyGeotab database is registered by a non-Partner user type, a Majority Account will not initially be set, and the user will be prevented from completing actions that require a Majority Account (for example, sharing a device to that database).
  4. If multiple accounts have the same number of devices in a database, one of the accounts will be arbitrarily chosen as the Majority Account.

Overriding the Majority Account

To request a specific Majority Account for a particular MyGeotab database, contact Geotab Support. Once complete, the Majority Account calculation will not replace it.

Product Guides and Software Development Kits (SDKs)

MyGeotab Product Guide

The MyGeotab portal has an embedded Product Guide — located under Support > Get Help > Product Guide in the main navigation menu.

On the Change Password page, enter your email address, then select Change Password and follow the steps in the email to change your account password.

NOTE: For security purposes, MyAdmin will lock you out for 10 minutes if you enter the incorrect password five times within 15 minutes.

Rate Plans and Rate Plan Families

Geotab offers various Rate Plans at different price points and levels of functionality. Devices ship from Geotab in an activation-ready state. Once the device is installed and powered on, the device automatically activates on the carrier’s network, and the device is billed based on the Rate Plan selected during the checkout process. For more information about Rate Plans, refer to Rate Plan Feature Comparison and Geotab Partner Policies.

Available Rate Plans

Geotab offers the following Rate Plans:

  1. Base — The Base Rate Plan offers GPS location, VIN, Driver ID, and basic IOX support.
  2. Regulatory — The Regulatory Rate Plan offers the functionality of the Base plan, with added support for Hours of Service, IFTA, and Temperature Monitoring functionality. This plan is geared towards assisting fleets in meeting a range of compliance regulations.
  3. Pro — The Pro Rate Plan offers the functionality of the Regulatory Rate Plan, with the added support for engine and accelerometer data.
  4. ProPlus — The ProPlus Rate Plan offers the greatest functionality, including Active Tracking, premium services, as well as Electric Vehicle (EV) data.

Suspend mode does not include GPS location, engine data, etc. and devices do not communicate or log any data except for a periodic heartbeat (every 23 hours).
  2. Terminate — Terminate mode disables the device, prevents data logging, erases the device memory, and stops the billing accordingly. Devices in Terminate mode may only be reactivated to Base, Regulatory, Pro, ProPlus, or Suspend Rate Plan within 30 days of termination. Terminate Mode requires two reasons to terminate a device.
  3. Restore — Restore mode is available for suspended GO devices, and it places devices on the plans they were on prior to being suspended.

! IMPORTANT: Moving a device to Suspend mode erases the device memory, and immediately puts the device into a suspended state — preventing the device from logging new data. It may take several hours or days to reactivate. A device in Suspend mode only connects to the server every 23 hours. If the device is out of cellular range, reconnection delays may be long and no data is transmitted during this time except for a heartbeat.

NOTE: For devices in Suspend mode or Terminate mode (during the first 30 days), a monthly charge is applied to the account to keep the SIM active and maintain the database. After 30 days, devices in Terminate mode cannot be reactivated. The cost of reactivating a terminated device is $25.00 USD.

Changing or terminating the Rate Plan for a device

The Device Management page (Devices > Device Management) is a single point of access for all device administration-related tasks, including managing device information, registering third-party devices, viewing device installation history, and more.

Rate Plans are automatically assigned to non-GO devices at checkout, so you only need to manage Rate Plans for GO devices.

To change or terminate the Rate Plan for a device, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to Devices > Device Management from the main menu.
  2. Use the filter options, as required, to narrow the search results.
  3. The table displays search results in real-time.

  4. Select a device serial number to edit the device information.
  5. The page refreshes to display detailed information about the device.

  6. Under the Details tab, select one of the following options:
    1. Change a Rate Plan – Select Change Device Plan under Device Management, then select a device plan.
    2. Terminate a Rate Plan – Select Terminate under Device Management.
  7. Select Save to request the change.

Your request to change this device’s Rate Plan is now being processed.

NOTE: This request will be displayed in the Pending change(s) column on the Device Management page.

Terminating a device – Impact on Data Sharing

When you terminate a device in Device Management or via the API, Data Sharing subscriptions for the device will be automatically terminated.

Reactivating a terminated device

To reactivate a device, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to Store > Products from the main menu.
  2. ✱ NOTE: In the classic interface, navigate to Store from the main menu.

  3. Add the XXX-REACTIVATE product (located under Services) in your cart, then checkout.
  4. ✱ NOTE: The XXX-REACTIVATE product is $25.00 USD per device (plus applicable taxes).

  5. Under the Order Information step, enter the serial number for the device(s) that requires reactivation in the Order comments field.
  6. ✱ NOTE: Ensure the number of serial numbers matches the quantity of XXX-REACTIVATE products in the order.

  7. Under the Shipping information step, select Do Not Ship (Local Pickup Only - Canada) as the shipping address. This prevents any shipping charges from being applied.
  8. Complete the remaining steps in the checkout process and place the order.
  9. Once complete, submit a Helpdesk ticket to facilitate the reactivation process.

! IMPORTANT: When submitting a Helpdesk ticket, please include the order number for a prompt reactivation.

The devices will be reactivated, and the Partner will receive an invoice for the order. Swapping a SIM card will not reactivate the device, and the warranty period is not affected by reactivation.

Beta Firmware Program overview

The Beta Firmware Program aims to provide a simple and effective method for Customers to update to the latest beta firmware versions and test new firmware features and fixes. Through this program, you can subscribe devices to specific channels to test upcoming features and Beta functionality. The devices automatically update to the latest stable release version of the firmware on the subscribed channel, and each beta firmware cycle runs for approximately two months.

The following firmware channels are available:

  1. Stable Release — Devices are enrolled into the Stable Release channel by default. Devices on this channel automatically update to the latest Release firmware version as it becomes available. No further interaction is required from the Partner.
  2. Release Candidate — Devices on the Release Candidate channel receive the upcoming release version of firmware. Firmware at this stage has been deemed as stable and currently rolling out to in-field devices. By enrolling devices into this channel, you ensure they have front-of-the-line access to the upcoming release version.
  3. Beta — Devices on the Beta channel receive firmware that has only gone through internal and limited field-testing, and automatically update to the latest stable Beta firmware as it becomes available. Users should subscribe to this channel if they want to be the first to test out new functionality.

Configuring the firmware channel for a device

Manage Data Sharing

Data Sharing is a secured data sharing technology that allows users to connect and collaborate with trusted business partners by sharing their telematics data to other MyGeotab users. For example, with Data Sharing, users can share safety and performance-driven data to insurance providers to save on coverage, or engine diagnostic data with maintenance providers to save on repairs.

Data Sharing starts with a transaction between two MyGeotab users: a user from the Primary Database who makes a request to shared telematics services to a user from a Shared Database who accepts or rejects the request based on the needs of their business. For more detailed information, refer to the Data Sharing Partner Guide.
