Universal Config

The Universal Config page lets you make changes to what the driver sees when using this workflow. For instance, if you want the driver to be able to add an unplanned stop, or use navigation, you would define these options here. The left side of the Universal Config page lists several categories of settings you can define; when you click  one, the right side shows the options in that category.

Hint: If there is an info icon next to a field, hover over the icon for more information on that field. The categories for the Universal Config settings are:

• Adhoc Tasks - enter the number of days that ad hoc tasks will be retained on the device for drivers to reference. Once this expiration is reached, the ad hoc task can not be reviewed on the device. The valid values are 1-30. You can also allow Adhoc Tasks to be seen as a tab on the mobile device.
• Advanced - if your mobile devices are Fixed Display, turn on Drive Device Reset so drivers can easily clear connections to vehicles. Other options on this page should not be changed.  
  Note: The driver will need to re-enter the Device ID once Drive is reset.
• Core App Settings - allows you to define options that the driver will have on the mobile device, such as whether the driver can add a stop, as well as what features may appear on the device. Hover over the tooltip icon for more information on each option. 

• Documents - choose the types of documents the driver will be able to choose from in Drive and the preferred document file format to be captured when the driver scans a document in Drive. The list of documents for the selected Document Types are created in Supporting Data. 
• Help & Feedback - lists the links for help and a help desk phone number that drivers will see when they go to the Help & Feedback link in Drive. You can enable feedback and define the types of feedback allowed.

If the In Motion Provider is Use GPS of Tablet, enter the minimum speed at which the vehicle is considered in motion (In Motion Speed Threshold) and the minimum number of pings to use when calculating the speed (In Motion Sample Size).
