We're so excited to welcome you to the new Geotab Community! After months of planning and preparation, we've officially migrated to a brand new platform fully integrated with the Geotab Support Site — and we think you're going to love it. 💙 Whether you're a long-time Community member or finding us for the first time, here's everything you need to know to get settled in. One home for everything The biggest change you'll notice is that the Geotab Community is no longer a standalone destination. We're now part of the Geotab Support Site, which means Community discussions, Help articles, and Academy learning content are all accessible from one place. No more bouncing between tabs to find what you need — it's all right here. You might notice that some of our Knowledg Articles still take you to the old URLs but without any of the old Community features — that's only temporary as we migrate them into the Help articles section of this site. Logging in Most of you can log in using your existing MyGeotab or MyAdmin database credentials. Even better — if you visit the Community directly from MyGeotab or MyAdmin, you'll be logged in automatically. No extra steps required. If you run into any trouble logging in, please reach out to us at community@geotab.com and we'll help you get sorted. Your username may look a little different To avoid duplicate usernames across the new platform, the system automatically generated unique usernames for all migrated accounts during the migration. If your username isn't quite right, you can update it anytime in your profile settings — it only takes a second. Smarter search Finding answers just got a whole lot easier. The new Community features AI-powered search that understands natural language questions, so you can ask things the way you'd actually say them and get to the right answer faster. When searching from the Community homepage, you can choose to search just our Community questions or from all resources on the Support Site by selecting the Community, Academy or AI Answers filters from the left-side dropdown in the search bar. <a href="https://support.geotab.com/community/all-posts" target="_blank">AI post categorization</a> Not sure which category your question belongs in? Don't worry about it — when you post a question, our AI will automatically categorize it under the correct topic based on your title and content. One less thing to think about. <a href="https://support.geotab.com/community/webinars" target="_blank">Watch past Community webinars</a> Missed a Learning LIVE! session or want to revisit a past Road Ahead webinar? You can now browse and watch our most recent Community webinars directly from the homepage. No searching required. <a href="https://support.geotab.com/community/perks-program" target="_blank">Leaderboard and perks</a> Your contributions here matter — and we want to recognize them. The Community Leaderboard highlights our top contributors each quarter, and active members are rewarded through our perks program. Jump in, share your knowledge, and see where you land. What about the Feedback Hub? The Feedback Hub from the old Community has been retired. In its place, you'll find a new Feedback Form right here on the Support Site — a streamlined way to share your ideas and suggestions with our Product team. Additionally, if you want to be more hands-on in the product development process we encourage you to join our Product Research Program by filling out <a href="https://geotabinc.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8IgHxCPf6SrXhKm" target="_blank">this form</a>. A note on migrated content We carried over active user accounts and a selection of high-value forum posts from the old Community. If you're looking for a specific post and can't find it, it's possible it wasn't included in the migration — feel free to reach out to us at community@geotab.com and we'll do our best to help. We're here if you need us This is a big change, and we know it might take a little getting used to. If you have questions, run into any issues, or just want to share your first impressions, we'd love to hear from you — drop a reply below or reach out to the Community team at community@geotab.com. Welcome to your new home. We're glad you're here. — The Geotab Community Team

Welcome to the new Geotab Community — here's everything you need to know

Did you miss last week's live webinar Setting Up MyGeotab for ELD Compliance with @JoyB-1751​ ? No worries - you can find a copy of the webinar on the Geotab Community Events page! Joy and @EishiFUN​ were able to answer a lot of the questions that came in live, but we ran out of time so here's a list of the remaining questions that Joy and Eishi will answer throughout the week:If a non-sleeper berth rule set is chosen, can the driver still log sleeper berth but still get the violation alerts? I ask because if the sleeper berth (SB) rule set is chosen, the driver does not get alerts because GT is calculating any over 2-hour off duty/SB entries.Can we use the ELD Settings Validator for non-commercial drivers?For Mexico, is there already a set of rules that can be applied?Can you give an example of why a driver would need access to shared data in the Driver tab?What can I do if I do not want my drivers to have access to other drivers' information?Do all users have access to the ELD Settings Validator?We are getting a lot of unassigned logs when they are moved within the yard. Is there a way to reduce these logs? What happens if I keep yard move on? Will that reduce the number of logs inside the yard? If you have any additional questions, please ask them below! And stay tuned for the next Geotab Community event.

This includes the GO7, GO8, GO9, and GO9+ devices in conjunction with the Geotab Drive mobile app for both Android and iOS devices.

Apologies for the late announcement on this topic as it was recently uncovered within our development team. As of MyGeotab release 5.7.2103, the JSON Serializer responsible for parsing API calls has changed to no longer allow single quote (') usage within the call parameters. Integrators should now solely use double quotes (") for this purpose. The expected error result for single quote usage can be found in this post in the Integrator's Hub.The new Serializer logic only accepts property names and string values in double quotes because that format is required by the RFC8259 specification and is the only format considered to be valid JSON.For any questions, please visit this same post within the Integrator's Hub to connect with our SDK experts.

Hi <a data-id="12235" data-value="jordenvinoray" data-denotation-char="@" href="/user/jordenvinoray" class="text-decoration-none mention">@jordenvinoray</a> ! Great question - thanks for asking the Geotab Community! Yes, you can set up rules in MyGeotab to monitor the health status of your Surfsight cameras and receive notifications when their status changes. You'll want to configure a rule that reports on changes to camera health status which indicates if the device is working as expected and able to upload videos to MyGeotab. If a device isn't performing correctly, the camera health status will indicate the issue and suggest actions to restore its functionality. To create a rule that triggers when a camera health status changes, you can add a new rule with the following condition in the Advanced Conditions Editor: <code>Status Data Diagnostic &quot;Video device health (0. HEALTHY, 1. UNSTABLE, 2. UNHEALTHY, 3. NOT_WORKING)&quot; &gt; 0 IsValueMoreThan[value=0]( FilterStatusDataByDiagnostic[diagnostic=aOzdYMcJkw06ft9g4uXvpIA] )</code> This condition will trigger the rule if the camera's health status is anything other than &quot;HEALTHY&quot; (0). To set this up:<ol><li>Navigate to Groups &amp; Rules &gt; Rules from the main menu.</li><li>Click Add or + Rule.</li><li>Fill out the Rule name, and optionally select a color, groups to publish to, and add comments. Leaving the Publish to groups field empty will publish the rule to the Company group by default.</li><li>Navigate to the Conditions tab.</li><li>Click the Scroll icon to open the Advanced conditions editor to write your own custom conditions.</li><li>Enter: <code>Status Data Diagnostic &quot;Video device health (0. HEALTHY, 1. UNSTABLE, 2. UNHEALTHY, 3. NOT_WORKING)&quot; &gt; 0 IsValueMoreThan[value=0]( FilterStatusDataByDiagnostic[diagnostic=aOzdYMcJkw06ft9g4uXvpIA] )</code></li><li>Navigate to the Notifications tab.</li><li>Click your desired notification type (Add email).</li><li>Specify the desired recipients and any other necessary details.</li><li>Click Add.</li><li>Click Save.</li></ol> New custom rules can be found under the Advanced rules section. Once this report is set up, you should receive notifications for when the device is not working. Then you can view recommended actions to solve potential camera problems for each notification by:<ol><li>Navigating to the Assets page in the main menu.</li><li>Navigating to the Cameras tab.</li><li>Locating the device you want to view.</li><li>Clicking the health status listed in the Cameras health column to open additional information about the problem.</li><li>Reviewing the recommended actions listed.</li></ol> Please let me know if this helps, or if you were looking for something else or run into any issues! Warmest regards, Gen

How do I configure a rule to send me a notification on my Surfsight camera status?

Hey <a data-id="1351" data-value="Cristian.hdz.Prime24" data-denotation-char="@" href="/user/cristian.hdz.prime24" class="text-decoration-none mention">@Cristian.hdz.Prime24</a> ! I have a feeling you don't mean this, but have to ask to be sure: Are you asking how to retrieve the videos from the GO Focus camera? Or are you looking for some kind of file export of the memory?

Hi again <a data-id="9622" data-value="AshleyM_PF" data-denotation-char="@" href="/user/ashleym_pf" class="text-decoration-none mention">@AshleyM_PF</a> ! I spoke with the team responsible for posting these and it turns out there was a bug in there process and they were, in fact, not announcing these properly since the migration. There was one announcement that should have been posted on July 21st. <a href="https://support.geotab.com/community/post/2880/quarterly-updates" target="_blank">Here's a link to that</a>. Moving forward, the team has resolved the issue and you will receive updates in the Map Server Updates Group found here in the new Geotab Community site. To view these notifications, members will need to be a member of the Maps Server Updates Group. Which can be joined from the Profile page. Thank you for helping notify us to this issue so we could get it resolved! We appreciate you and many other users will benefit from you speaking up. 💙 If you need help with anything else, please let us know. Warm regards, Gen

Hey <a data-id="2044" data-value="misamc24" data-denotation-char="@" href="/user/misamc24" class="text-decoration-none mention">@misamc24</a> ! Great question!

I imagine that it depends on the extent of the damage but let me ask internally and get back to you. They might suggest a ticket to get specifics on the situation. Either myself or <a data-id="1044" data-value="EishiFUN" data-denotation-char="@" href="/user/eishifun" class="text-decoration-none mention">@EishiFUN</a> will follow up with you when we hear back!

Hey <a data-id="9622" data-value="AshleyM_PF" data-denotation-char="@" href="/user/ashleym_pf" class="text-decoration-none mention">@AshleyM_PF</a> ! Yes, they certainly should still be being posted. But I just checked the group and don't see any updates since I last posted. Let me reach out to the team who manages this group to find out what is happening. I'll follow up with you as soon as I know more. Have a wonderful weekend if we don't talk today! Warm regards, Gen

<a data-id="9622" data-value="AshleyM_PF" data-denotation-char="@" href="/user/ashleym_pf" class="text-decoration-none mention">@AshleyM_PF</a> would you like me to pass that feedback on to the team?

<a data-id="12003" data-value="tanyamain" data-denotation-char="@" href="/user/tanyamain" class="text-decoration-none mention">@tanyamain</a> I did a little research myself and could not find anything so I've asked our internal team for insights on if this is possible and how to implement it.

Odometer entry on Defect/Inspection Reports

Hi <a data-id="12003" data-value="tanyamain" data-denotation-char="@" href="/user/tanyamain" class="text-decoration-none mention">@tanyamain</a> ! Thanks for asking your question in the Geotab Community! To best help you, can I confirm I have all of the details correct: Your drivers are using the Drive App to do pre-start inspections on assets that do not have GO Devices installed. The odometer data they are entering in the odometer field shows up on the Inspection Report but not on the Work Order Management screen in MyGeotab, and you are asking how to get the odometer data from the pre-inspection to show up on the Work Order Management screen automatically?

Hey <a data-id="11876" data-value="trevordaniels" data-denotation-char="@" href="/user/trevordaniels" class="text-decoration-none mention">@trevordaniels</a>, Great question - thanks for asking in the Geotab Community! I asked our Marketplace team and was informed that we don't currently have a solution for this that is integrated out of the box into MyGeotab. However, they did have an idea involving leveraging a sensor that could track spraying on&#x2F; off and connecting that to the GO Device via an IOX or directly with the Next Gen GO Device. If this was done, rules could be set up in MyGeotab that could reflect spraying on and off and have it show up on the map. Integrating this with local weather conditions would require leveraging an API. A member of the team offered to discuss this further with you. Would you like me to reach out to your Business Development Representative and get a conversation going for you? Warm regards, Gen
