Send driver alerts in THEIR time zone now
Since alerts are sent in the USER’s time zone, and can be “copied” to the driver him or herself, there is sometimes a time zone conflict with the alert.
We have enhanced GPS Insight to ensure that alerts are sent to the driver in the time zone they are associated with in the system.
Here is a typical alert which has been set to send straight to the driver when they idle for more than 15 minutes:
Here is the driver admin screen, where you can set the time zone:
And when the alerts come in, they will adjust depending on which time zone the driver or user (depending on who is receiving it) prefers:
Bear in mind that our choices ALSO compensate for daylight savings time (DST) which is why Arizona and Indiana are choices, as they do not celebrate DST.
This will help to ensure that when drivers receive data, it isn’t an hour or two “off” from the time they actually were idling/speeding/entering landmarks/etc.
