In Map Suite GPS Tracking Server, there are six Main Entities:
In Map Suite GPS Tracking Server, each account is divided into Departments, Users, Employees, Devices, and Points of Interest. These categories represent the main entities in the system; however, the names of these entity categories can be renamed to suit each account’s individual preferences.
Accounts represent separate clients in a portal environment and may each have many departments. Each account exists in isolation from other accounts and maintains its own map data, security system, configuration settings, and branding. Accounts can have their own URLs assigned to them in a portal environment.
Departments represent the different offices or departments in the account. Each Department will have its own Users, Employees, Devices, and Points of Interest, and each Department will have its own maps and map extent in which it will be tracking Employees. Also, each Department has its own time zone and data that is stored in GMT.
Users are the people who will be logging into Map Suite GPS Tracking Server to track and monitor the Employees, and Users can be shared between Departments. If a User is added to a second Department, the User will have access to information in both Departments. However, if a User is assigned to one Department, the User will only have access to information in that particular Department that he or she is assigned to.
Employees represent the entities that are carrying the GPS tracking devices. In the system, Employees are assigned to a particular Device, and Employees can be vehicles, assets, or individual people who are carrying a Device. For example, a Device might be mounted in a truck and the Employee could be referred to as the truck itself. On the other hand, a portable GPS tracking device, such as a mobile phone or pager, might be carried directly by an individual. In this case, you might refer to the person carrying the Device as the Employee.
Devices represent the GPS tracking hardware that is used to keep track of an Employee’s location. Although Devices can be shared between Departments, a Device can only be active in one Department at a time.
Points of Interest are the stationary entities in the system and are represented as locations on the map, such as gas stations, client offices, stores, etc. Points of Interest can have a symbol or icon to represent them on the map, and each Point of Interest will have a status in the system, such as Open, Closed, Delivered, Undelivered, etc.
