The dashboard is the first thing you will see when you log into your account.

It gives you a complete overview of your drivers' locations and their tasks, unassigned tasks, and task statuses.

In the upper right corner, you can choose between the
​Day mode and the Night mode, by simply clicking on the one you wish to use.

By clicking on Settings, you can specify further map details by checking and unchecking the corresponding boxes.

The Measuring tool allows you to quickly measure distances between multiple waypoints and shows you the estimated time of travel & total mileage.

You can use the Filter tasks button to make only the tasks
that interest you visible on the map.

You can filter tasks by Date/Time, Status, or Custom Fields.

Note: Metafields (Custom Fields) are created by you. They allow you to filter out tasks by zones, route number, job or client type, or whatever works best for your business

From the up-right corner of your screen, you can switch between your different department/business unit accounts by clicking on the small down-facing arrow next to your username.

This is useful when you have offices in different regions and they have their own accounts.

The Settings button opens your Settings area, where you can edit your account information, set task-related settings, add new users to your account, and much more.

Clicking on the 📴 icon logs you out from your GSMtasks account.

In the bottom left corner of your screen, you can check the legend for task states.

Make sure you have checked the Legend box in the map settings.

⚫ Offline drivers have a grey icon and they are shown on the map only if you have allowed this in the map settings (Show off duty).

🟠 When the icon is orange, it means that the driver has logged in to the mobile app and has reported on on-duty mode, but the location has not been updated within the last 15 minutes. This usually indicates that the driver has not correctly set up their location permissions.

Tasks can be made visible on the map by clicking on the arrow icon in front of their assignee (the same goes for unassigned tasks).

If you want to see a specific task in its location, right-click on the task and choose Center in the map from the drop-down menu.

To open the street view, drag Pegman (the yellow guy)
onto the map like you would do in Google Maps.

To zoom in or out, use the + and - buttons or simply scroll with your mouse.

In the bottom right corner of your screen, you can see a green chatbox 🟢.

Open it to chat with our client support or find answers yourself with the help of the article search. Just type in a keyword and the search will suggest relevant articles.
