1 Open Select Find in the menu. | 2 Choose Pick a view on the left. | 3 Select Click a row in the list. | 4 Review Check the map and details. |
Before You Begin
- Your Overview portal user name and password. See Logging In to the Overview Portal.
- The name or tag ID of what you're looking for. The tag ID is printed on the tag's label.
The Find Screen
Find is split into four areas:
| Area | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Views (far left) | The kind of thing you want to find, such as Equipment or Job Sites. |
| List (top) | Everything in the view you picked. Type in the search box above the list to narrow it down. |
| Map (top right) | Where the selected item is. Click its marker for a pop-up with its name and type. |
| Details (bottom) | Address, times and comments for the selected item, and what it's with (for example, the job site a piece of equipment is at, or the equipment on a truck). |
The Views
| View | What It Lists | Columns |

| Dropped Equipment | Equipment that came off a vehicle somewhere other than a job site or warehouse. | Name, Tag, Type |
| Unseen Equipment | Equipment whose tag hasn't been heard by a tracker for a while and is manually moved into this container. | Name, Type |
| Unassigned Tags | Tags that aren't attached to any equipment yet, such as new or spare tags. | Name, Comment |

Read the Details
| When You Select | You See |
|---|---|
| Equipment | Address where it is, Last Reported (the last time its tag was heard), Here Since (when it arrived there) and its Comment. The right-hand panel shows the job site, warehouse or vehicle it's with. |
| A vehicle or warehouse | Its details, plus a list of the equipment with it and when each was last reported. |
| A job site | Its Address, when it was Opened and how long it's been open, and the equipment there now. Closed job sites also show when they were Closed. |
TIP Times count up. "209 days, 22 hours" under Last Reported means the tag hasn't been heard for that long, which is worth checking. |
Buttons
| Button | What It Does |

| Edit (pencil) | Opens the selected item so you can change its details. See Editing an Asset. |
| Reset Columns (↦↤) | Resets any columns you resized and fits them to the data. |

Potential Job Sites
This view looks for groups of equipment that are sitting together but aren't inside a job site. Two settings control what counts:
- Minimum Number of Assets: how many pieces must be together (the default is 5).
- Max Radius (ft): how close together they must be (the default is 328 feet, about 100 meters).
Change either number and click Update. If a result is a real job, create a job site for it. See Creating a Job Site.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | What to Try |
|---|---|
| I can't find a job site | Check Include Closed. The job may have been closed. |
| I can't find a piece of equipment | Search by the tag ID on its label instead of the name. If it's still missing, check Unseen Equipment, or ask your administrator whether it's set to Hidden. |
| A tag shows under Unassigned Tags | It hasn't been registered to equipment yet. See Tag Installation Instructions. |
| The details are out of date | Click Refresh on the map, or reload the page. |
