Configuration Profiles include settings for compliance, driver accessibility, and driver safety alerts. They also set how often Configure Fleet Settings are synced with CoPilot. Settings in a Configuration Profile are applied across all of the CoPilot devices in your fleet that are assigned to that profile. 


Click Configure Fleet Settings in the left menu > Configuration Profiles to get started. The Configuration Profiles page loads with a list of your existing profiles, if any.




To create a Configuration Profile:


Step 1: Name and create a profile

  • Click the Create Configuration Profile button at the top right of the screen.
  • The New Configuration Profile dialog loads. Enter a name in the Configuration Profile Name field. We recommend using a descriptive name to make it easier for other Account Manager users to select the correct profile.
  • Check the box next to Set as Default if you want this profile applied by default to every Vehicle Group created in the future. 
  • Click the Save & Continue button. 


Step 2: Select settings

These options allow you to enable, disable, or change settings that affect compliance and user experience for drivers or vehicles assigned to this profile. Settings include:


General

  • Fleet Sync Interval, which controls how often CoPilot checks for and applies new updates to fleet settings. Enter the Interval in hours for how often CoPilot should check for updates. 
  • The Compliance setting, which controls how far a driver can deviate from their planned route before they are considered “out of route.” Enter a value, in miles, in the Out of Route Threshold field.



Driver Accessibility

  • Select the checkboxes next to each Driver Accessibility option you want to enable:
    • Check Routing Profile Creating & Editing to allow drivers to edit or create new routing profiles on their device. Preventing drivers from creating or editing routing profiles in CoPilot will ensure drivers are navigated based on the physical and legal guidelines as prescribed by the Fleet Administrator in Account Manager.
    • Check Force routing profile selection to force drivers to select a routing profile to begin a trip if multiple routing profiles are on CoPilot. Best Practice is to create the routing profiles in Account Manager, making them descriptive enough so that the drivers understand what they are, and then have the driver select from your approved profiles that are assigned to their Vehicle Group.
    • Check Display map reporting to allow the driver to access map reporting functionality on their device.
    • Select the Save button and Done to finish.


CoPilot Preferences: Safety Alerts & Warnings


You can select Current CoPilot Value, which leaves unchanged the current value set in CoPilot on a device, or select a specific setting for each of the preferences below.

  • Display Speed Limit switches off/on the speed limit indicator in the navigation screen.
  • Show Speed Warning switches off/on the audible (beep) and visual speed warnings.
  • Audible Speed Warnings switches off/on the speed warnings.
  • Speed Warning Threshold changes the threshold at which the speed warning appears.
  • Motion Lock sets the way in which the Motion Lock safety feature is applied. Options are: 
    • Motion Lock Disabled: Do not lock any user interface (UI) elements even when traveling above the motion threshold speed.
    • Motion Lock Enabled - All: Lock the UI when traveling above the defined Speed When Motion Lock is Engaged. This also disables all pop-ups except for the destination/arrival pop-up. All action required pop-ups have a default decision which will be followed if they are shown.
    • Motion Lock Enabled - Driving Mode: Only allow access to driving functions. This locks access to the entire UI with the exception of the following: Navigation Menu > 2D/3D, Clear Stop, Safety View, Close and Directions (carrot at bottom of navigation screen); Navigation screen > zoom, recenter current location, POI Alert, Mute and Mapsure buttons on the map; Map pop-ups and map drag/swipe/pan/multi-touch.
    • Motion Lock Enabled - Driving Mode Extended: This allows access to the features in Motion Lock Enabled - Driving Mode as well as access to the following (keyboard is disabled): Location searches > Find POIs, Main POI categories, Search All, More Categories; Trip planning > Alternate routes, Go (Green circular button on plan trip screen); Traffic Bar and traffic refresh button; Buttons in flow traffic map except for the setting button.
    • Motion Lock Enabled - Passenger Mode: This setting allows a temporary disablement of Motion Lock when used by a passenger. Motion Lock settings should be resumed upon restarting CoPilot. When this mode is set, all UI will be unlocked. Once the application is re-launched, CoPilot will resume in the previous Motion Lock mode.
  • Speed When Motion Lock is Engaged selects a speed at which the navigation map will be locked, preventing user input.
  • Select the Save button and Done to finish.


CoPilot Preferences: Navigation


You can select Current CoPilot Value, which leaves unchanged the current value set in CoPilot on a device, or select a specific setting for each of the preferences below. 

  • Allow Alternate Routes determines whether CoPilot presents the driver with up to three routes to choose from before beginning their trip.
  • Minimum Time Savings sets a threshold for how long of a time delay prompts CoPilot to offer and alternate route to avoid traffic.
  • Max Traffic Distance sets a threshold for the additional distance at which CoPilot no longer offers an alternate route to avoid traffic.
  • 2D Map Rotation selects whether the CoPilot always displays the map with North Up or the direction the user is Heading Up.
  • Waypoint Radius defines the radius around a waypoint that triggers CoPilot's waypoint logic.
  • Select the Save button and Done to finish.


Step 3: Assign the profile

  • After the Assign Profile to Vehicle Group screen loads, select the checkbox next to each vehicle group you want to assign to the configuration profile.
  • Click the Save & Continue button.
  • Click Done to complete the configuration profile.
