Beta features

Beta features give you early access new features that are still in progress.

Beta features are available in MyGeotab for users who are interested in exploring new features and upcoming changes to the platform. They can be enabled on a case-by-case basis depending on user interests and needs. Beta features that have been turned on are marked by the Beta label at the top of the page. This helps you distinguish between standard and beta features.

Any beta features enabled by an individual user will apply only to their MyGeotab account. They will not be turned on for other users in the database unless they choose to apply the features themselves. This allows users to test new capabilities and functions without disturbing other users’ workflows.

Beta features are set up under the Beta Features tab of the Options page.
