Proper administration of the Ground Traffic Control inspection management system is vital to its successful use. Improper or poor administration can greatly reduce the effectiveness of the system. The administrative functions for Ground Traffic Control are accessed through the 'Admin' sub-menu located under the 'Home' menu on the navigation bar.
Click on the 'Admin Drivers' link. Three options are associated with Admin Drivers, they are 'Manage', 'Add a Driver', and 'Revoked Drivers'. Drivers represent individuals who operate assets in the database. Before a driver can load a report into the database they must be added to the database. A convenient method for editing or deleting an existing driver is used by selecting the desired driver in the combo list box provided, click on the desired action (either 'Edit Driver' or 'Delete Driver') then click on the 'Update Driver' or 'Delete' button. If more than one page exists a pager link system will be displayed, by default 'First' and 'Last' links will be displayed, click on one of the link items to display that page.

Note: Only list asset information in upload CSV, do not include column header labels (for example do not include rows 1 & 2 in the CSV file that is displayed in the above image)
6.2.3 Edit Asset Radio Addresses
Auto Created Assets help prevent the loss of GPS data in cases where a newly installed GPS unit was not properly assigned to an asset before installing it. Upon a new GPS unit being powered up & 'calling home' for the first time, if the GPS has not already been assigned to an asset, GTC will automatically create a new asset with the GPS unit assigned to it. In order to bypass this process, simply assign the GPS unit to its intended asset before powering it on. An auto created asset can have its data updated and made active as a new asset in GTC, or the GPS assigned can be stripped and assigned to another asset, while maintaining a record of the gps data for the time the unit was not assigned.
Users represent persons using the Ground Traffic Control™ system. Everyone using the system should be added as a user. A user also represents a person performing maintenance (repairs) on assets, though they may not be actively using the Ground Traffic Control™. A convenient method for editing, editing user permissions or deleting a user is used by selecting the desired user in the combo list box , click on the desired action (either 'Edit User', 'Edit User Permissions' or 'Delete Driver') then click on the 'Perform Action' button.

Click on the 'Admin Routes' link. Routes are another way to represent assets on the GPS reports. A route can have an asset and/or driver associated with it. By adding routes to the system, and linking them to assets, you can then switch your preferences to display routes on the GPS reports instead of assets (from the 'Preferences->Routes or Assets' menu). The GPS reports will then display all the routes that have assets associated with them instead of a list of assets. This is convenient if you want to run GPS reports on a specific route without knowing which asset is assigned to that route. The GPS reports will then show results for whatever asset is assinged to that route (assigning assets to routes must be done manually through this 'Admin Routes' section).
A convenience method for editing or deleting a route is used by selecting the desired route in the combo list box , click on the desired action (either 'Edit Route' or 'Delete Route') then click on the 'Perform Action' button.
