The Live Share feature is available directly from the Asset Details 3-Dots Menu from the Map module.

  1. From the Live share window, click the Plus button​

Optionally, you can include the following information: Driver name and phone number, Vehicle make, model and license plate number. Both options are disabled by default. If a link is already created, you will not be able to change the setup.

  1. From the create new a link window select an expire date and time​

  2. Select the desired options to include Driver name and phone number and Vehicle make, model, plate number​

  3. Optionally, type in any desired comments (visible field)​

  4. Click the Share and copy button (the link will be created and automatically copied to the clipboard)​

The Live Share link has been copied to the clipboard and can be shared via email.

The Live Share link is displayed in the list of active links for the selected asset, which is available to copy and reshare if required.  An asset can have multiple links created by various Unity users.

To manually expire a link, users can click the red Trash Bin icon.  Expired links are still available (they will be greyed out).  They are stored for traceability and will be removed from the list in 7 days.

Fleet Managers have visibility to the following information:

  • user who created the link
  • when it was created
  • when it will expire
  • comments
  • number of clicks on link

A special indicator will be visible from the asset list. This allows fleet managers to easily identify which asset’s live location is currently being broadcasted/shared.

When a Live Share link is shared by a user, below is an example of the external view. The asset marker will move automatically, a page refresh is not required.

When a Live Share link is shared by a user, here is an example of the external view from a mobile device. The web view has been made responsive for mobile viewers.
