Configure resource and device types

Manage the tenant-level registry of resource types (vehicles, trailers, and custom units) and device types (cameras, dataloggers, GPS trackers, and more) from Settings → Resource & device types.

​
Before you start

  • You must have an Admin role.
  • Go to Settings → Resource & device types.
The page has two sections: Resource types and Device types.

​
Built-in types

The following types are built-in and cannot be deleted: Resource types: VEHICLE, EQUIPMENT, TECHNICIAN Device types: CAMERA, DATALOGGER, AIR_TAG, MOBILE, PRO, TELEMATICS You can configure custom fields on built-in types but cannot remove them.

​
Steps

​
Add a custom resource type

  1. Under Resource types, click Add type.
  2. Enter a name and key for the new type.
  3. Save.
The new type appears in the list alongside the built-in types, showing its NAME, KEY, RECORDS count, SHOW IN LIVE toggle, and a FIELDS link.

​
Control Live map visibility

  1. In the SHOW IN LIVE column for a resource type, toggle Show in Live on or off.
When on, resources of that type appear on the Live fleet map. Device types inherit Live visibility from their paired resource type.

​
Configure custom fields on a type

  1. Click Configure (or the FIELDS link) next to a resource type to open the custom fields editor.
  2. Add, reorder, or remove fields as needed.

​
Add a custom device type

  1. Under Device types, click Add type.
  2. Enter a name and key.
  3. Save.
The device type appears in the list with its NAME, KEY, RECORDS count, and FIELDS link.

​
Open Resources

  1. Click Open Resources at the bottom of the page to navigate directly to the Resources view where you can assign types to individual records.

​
Result / verify

  • Custom types appear in the relevant section.
  • Resources assigned to a type with Show in Live enabled appear on the Live fleet map.
  • Custom fields defined on a type are available when editing resource records.

​
Troubleshooting

  • Cannot delete a built-in type — Built-in types (VEHICLE, EQUIPMENT, TECHNICIAN, etc.) are protected. Add custom types instead of modifying built-ins.
  • Type not appearing in Live — Check that Show in Live is toggled on for that resource type.
