Creating custom rules from built-in rules

Creating custom rules from built-in rules! Let's get started. Click Groups & Rules. Click Rules. Click the pencil icon to customize a rule. You can manage rules for mixed fleets by creating separate groups for different vehicle types. For example, "Heavy Duty" or "Small Vehicle". Enter a Name for the rule. Select the Color and Visibility. Select which Groups the rule applies to. These groups should already be created. Click the Conditions tab. Click the scroll icon to open the Advanced Conditions Editor and modify the values. Edit the Conditions as needed. For this "Harsh Braking - Heavy Duty" example, the G-force should be negative 0.47. Click the Notifications tab to set alerts for when the rule is broken. Click Save when finished. Back on the Rules page, you can scroll down to the Advanced section to see all your custom rules. Congratulations! You've completed this tutorial for how to create custom rules from built-in rules.
