Enable Geo tag Movement Detection (Admin)

Geo tag movement detection is controlled by a tenant‑level master switch. Before the feature can be used, it must first be enabled by an Admin user in your ON!Track tenant.

Who can enable this feature?

Only users with Admin permissions can enable movement detection at company level.
If you are not an Admin and the feature is disabled, please contact your ON!Track Admin.

How to enable movement detection at company level 

  1. Go to Company settings in ON!Track.
  2. Open the Geo tag section.
  3. Enable the Movement detection switch.
  4. Select Save to apply the change.

Once saved, movement detection becomes available for use in your tenant.

Enable Geo tag Movement Detection for an Asset 

Geo tag movement detection is disabled by default for each asset. Once the feature is enabled at company level, you can activate it for individual Geo tag–tracked assets in just a few clicks.

How to enable movement detection for a Geo tag–tracked asset

  • Open the asset that is tracked with a Geo tag.
  • Select Edit.
  • In the identification section, locate the Geo tag serial number.
  • Enable Movement detection by checking the checkbox directly below the serial number.
  • Select Next, then click Save to apply the changes.
     


 

Important note

After enabling movement detection, the Geo tag must receive the updated configuration.

  • Scheduled update behavior
    The Geo tag applies new settings during its next scheduled location update, which occurs at 6:00 AM and 6:00 PM (local time). Depending on timing, it may take up to 12 hours for changes to take effect.
     
  • Per-asset activation
    Enabling movement detection at the company level does not automatically activate it for all assets. It must be enabled individually for each Geo tag–tracked asset.
     
  • Battery usage
    Movement detection increases location updates when an asset is moving, which can lead to higher battery consumption compared to standard tracking.
     
  • Standard updates
    Regular location updates at 6:00 AM and 6:00 PM continue as usual and are not affected by movement detection.

Once updated:

  • The Geo tag will send a location update when movement starts.
  • It will send another update when movement stops.
  • Regular 6:00 AM and 6:00 PM updates continue as usual.
