Q: Why won’t my shipments go into delivered status automatically?
When you create a shipment, you can choose how the shipment is delivered, e.g. using Geofence or pushing the stop button.
I am using Gefoence to deliver the shipments.
If you are using the Geofence the logger needs to report within the Geofence of the destination location for the shipment to be delivered. There are 3 main reasons why this feature isn’t working:
1. The destination location is not correctly setup in the system or has moved.
|
Logger ends its shipment here.
The destination location is registered here. |
Solution:
Start by delivering the current shipment in the web interface and remember to select the correct delivery time.
To prevent this from happening again you need to edit the location.
Note: shipments that are currently being shipped to this location will continue to use the old location settings but shipments created after the location editing will have the new location settings.
2. The location radius is too small.
In some cases, loggers will report that it’s location is outside the location Geofence.
Solution:
Start by delivering the current shipment in the web interface and remember to select the correct delivery time.
To prevent this from happening again you need to increase the location's radius.
Note: shipments that are currently being shipped to this location will continue to use the old location settings but shipments created after the location editing will have the new location settings.
3. The logger didn’t report its location while it was within Geofence
The logger will update it’s location every 1 hour and in cases where the logger will not stay in the Geofence for more than an hour after the shipment has been delivered it can miss the opportunity to report within Geofence.
Solution:
Start by delivering the current shipment in the web interface and remember to select the correct delivery time.
To prevent this from happening again consider the use one of the delivery methods:
- Button
- Button and Geofence
- Button or Geofence
I am using the stop button to deliver the shipments.
If you are using the stop button to deliver our shipments the most common reasons for the shipment not to go into delivered status is that the stop button was not pressed at the destination or not pressed long enough.
Solution:
Start by delivering the current shipment in the web interface and remember to select the correct delivery time.
To prevent this from happening again you can either consider using the Geofence option to deliver the shipments or make sure that users at the destination location are familiar on how to handle the loggers when receiving the shipment.
When pressing the stop button, they need to be hold down at least 5 seconds.
Q: How do I deliver a shipment in the web interface?
In cases where the shipment was not delivered according to the predefined shipment flow you can deliver it manually in the web interface.
Solution:
Contact your destination site and get confirmation on when the shipment was delivered and logger removed from the product.
If you are not able to do so you can find out the appropriate delivery time by going to the shipments detail page.
|
In the event log you can find out when the logger arrived at the destination |
|
Go to the temperature graph and estimate when the logger was removed from the shipment.
|
Once you have established the appropriate delivery time you can manually deliver the shipments.
|
Go to the info tab in the shipment and press the deliver button. |
| Select the time specify button and select the appropriate delivery time.
Press confirm. |
Q: How do I change locations that are already in the system
|
Select the Locations tab
Press the edit icon on the location you wish to edit |
|
Make sure that the contact information is correct and edit if needed and press Attempt to Geocode to refresh the coordinates.
If the system doesn’t find the correct coordinate on the map you can click on the location icon on the map and drag it to the correct location on the map.
If needed adjust the size of the radius.
Press the edit location button to confiem |
