Map Views​

Map views allow you to save your current map and its settings, enabling you to return to it later.

Map views saves the following settings:

  • Device filters
  • Show/hide devices, locations and geofences
  • Device values (See section Device Values section)
  • Map start position (i.e. the initial center position and zoom level of the map)

Device Values​

You can select up to three values to show beside the device icon. Use thresholds to color code the values. You can also star a device value to let the threshold color affect the device icon. Set up device values when creating or editing a map view.

Maps in dashboard​

You can view your saved map views as widgets in your dashboard. Simply create a new Map widget and select your map view.

Geofences​

Geofences are a method for defining a virtual perimeter around a real-world area. Yggio supports geofences through its own API. An event is triggered for a device when it enters or leaves a geofenced area.

You can also execute a geoquery to identify devices that are within a geofenced area or an area defined by the geoquery.

In Yggio v3.30, which introduces geofences, these can only be created via the Yggio REST API. For further information, please refer to the developer section on the Geofence API.
