The Resources menu manages entity-related objects within the system. The following submenus are available:

Sessions

A session represents a continuous work period linked to a tag. Sessions start and end automatically based on predefined parameters.

Key Points

A session has a minimum duration during which the activity is not recorded (this can be configured based on client requirements).
Sessions end at 23:59:59 if they span across calendar days, with a new session starting at 00:00:01.
Sessions may also end due to inactivity or extended communication interruptions.
Sessions always ends when the tag is placed on a charger.

Use the time interval selector at the top of the screen to view specific periods.

The default view is a summary table displaying all recorded sessions. Select sessions using checkboxes and click “Show selected” to compare them.

List View

Selecting Multiple Sessions: You can display data from multiple sessions in an overview table. To do this, select the desired sessions using the checkboxes in the list view and then click the “Show selected” button in the top-right corner. The system will display an overview table summarizing the selected sessions.

On the left sidebar of the screen, you’ll see a list of the tags associated with the recorded sessions. If needed, you can remove tags from the list by unchecking the relevant boxes.

The first four rows of the summary table show the total time spent in zones, active time (time spent moving), time spent in unknown locations, and the overall start-to-end duration for the selected sessions. The last column, labeled “Ratio,” displays the time related to each metric as a percentage of the total time.

Below these rows, you’ll find time metrics associated with the categories affected by the tags (indicating whether the tag was present in a zone belonging to a specific category).

Map View

Each session includes a detailed map view. You can access it by selecting a session from the sessions list view and clicking the gray arrow icon next to the timestamp.

Note! The map view associated with sessions is different from the map view used for tracking. The tracking view is optimized for the fastest possible data updates and the most current visualization of tag positions. In contrast, the session map view is not real-time, as the data displayed undergoes complex data processing. Thanks to this advanced smoothing method, the routes are displayed more accurately. Since the data is periodically refreshed and processed by algorithms, the routes are updated at intervals set within the system.

At the bottom of the session map view, you will find a timeline for the selected session. The Y-axis of the timeline represents the speed of the tracked tag, while the X-axis represents the session time. You can follow the timeline continuously or hover over any specific point with the mouse cursor to view the tag’s position at the corresponding time slice. On the map, zones and routes can be toggled on or off using the checkboxes on the right side. The displayed route is color-coded according to the speed of the tag in session.

Zones

Note: One zone can belong to only one category, but a category may include multiple zones.

Zones are customer-defined geographical areas represented as polygons on the map (e.g., warehouses, office buildings, parking lots).
Zones are organized into categories and cannot belong to more than one category.
The default view lists all zones in a table. Clicking a zone displays its details and associated sessions.

Persons

This menu lists all tags associated with individuals, showing relevant activity data (e.g., tasks performed, zones visited, and time ratios) in the default Tag ID-grouped view.
Click a Tag ID to open detailed session information, including session summaries and map views.

Exporting Data

The SmarTrace system is designed to allow users not only to access and utilize stored data via the web interface but also to download the required data packages in their preferred format. Both the “tracking” and “resources” menu options provide data export functionality. You can find the relevant icons in the gray bar at the bottom of the screen. From left to right, the options are:

XLSX Export: Download a formatted Excel spreadsheet.
CSV Export: Download raw data for later formatting or processing.
PDF Export: Download a ready-to-use table in Adobe PDF format, similar to the Excel export, accessible on any device.
