Offline expression event rule

Using Offline Expression you can create alerts based on your device activity, for example, to know if the trackers are connected or not.

This guide describes how to set up an event rule that displays icon alerts for online/offline vehicles. The icon alert can be shown in the vehicle list as an additional column.

Additionally, the guide describes how to make a report to know how long those devices have been offline.
