The Fleet Module has two toolkit functions that provide a way to quickly send pre-configured emails to fleet operators. This allows the user to send reminder messages out to one or more drivers about turning in miles or bringing vehicles in for maintenance.
The email will go to every recipient in the notification template's recipient list as well as the email address the Operator Email field for each vehicle the notification is sent out for.
Fleet notifications are not triggered automatically. They are sent using the "Send Email Notification for Current Record" or "Send Email Notification for Filterset" functions found in the Fleet Toolkit.
The notification template is created in the General > Notification Setup module. When the Fleet toolkit functions are used, the user selects which template to use.
Note: The notification template must have these values
After creating the notification template go to Equipment > Fleet > Fleet Inventory and find the vehicle whose operator needs to receive the notification, or setup a filter of vehicles to send emails out to.
On the General tab make sure the Operator Email Field is filled out with the operators email address.
Select the button on the toolbar and this screen will pop-up.
Select one of the the following:
"Send Email Notification for Current Record" (Will send it to the operator of the vehicle currently being viewed)
"Send Email Notification for Filterset" (Will send it to all the operators of the current fleet filterset)
Hit and the following screen will appear.
Click the Email Notif # button and select the notification to be sent out.
Note: Only Notification Templates that have the Notification Module set to "Fleet" will show in this list.
Click and the Notification will be sent.
Note: A record that the notification was sent is stored on the Email tab.
