We strongly recommend creating your own places in Visibility Hub when you want to

  • Monitor incoming transports and trucks at-site of specific locations

  • Adjust the geofence of a location where the tracking fails

  • Add more location related filter options

Please note that you need to have the Admin role in Visibility Hub to create, edit and remove a place. (Find out if you have an admin role)

The following steps explain how to create a place in Visibility Hub.

  • Go to the Places view and click the "+" button next to the search bar.

  • You will now see a map with all transport addresses that Visibility Hub has received from you. Each address represents either a loading or unloading stop from a previous transport.
    Addresses marked with a blue dot are already connected to a place.

  • Select the address for which you want to create a place for from either the map, the scrollable list or via the search bar. Click on that address and the Place creation view opens.

  • Here you can enter the name of the new place, add potential aliases (duplicate or very close-by addresses) and, most importantly, adjust the geofence by moving the pin on the map to the correct location of where your trucks will be arriving or passing through. This ensures the correct tracking of all incoming traffic.

  • Once you click the "Create place" button, your new place will be added. The screen then changes to the warehouse view of this place and sooner or later you should see the first trucks approaching your place.
