EVOLUTION OVERVIEW

EVOLUTION is a web-based tracking and analysis application that is part of an advanced intelligence system for tracking mobile Devices worldwide. The application is designed to work with almost any tracking unit regardless of manufacturer, type, capabilities or location. EVOLUTION can operate as a standalone system, or expanded to work with other applications using its plugin architectural framework.

Product Description

EVOLUTION’s tracking is based on Global Positioning Systems (GPS). GPS satellites transmit signals used by tracking Devices to calculate their locations. Once a Device identifies its own position, it periodically transmits that location back over satellite, radio, or cellular systems to a central UniTrac server. EVOLUTION is the new, modern user interface for UniTrac based server systems. UniTrac collects the reporting data and EVOLUTION displays the data locations as icons on maps.

Command and Control Capabilities

EVOLUTION also gives Users the ability to remotely communicate with and control devices using two-way over-the-air (OTA) command and control (C2) tools. In addition EVOLUTION can receive device Panic Alerts. This device option is used to notify Users and Operators of emergency or dangerous situations for personnel in the field. Some Devices with advance capabilities allow Users to respond directly to alarm Owners when in Panic Mode.

Other Capabilities

EVOLUTION can:

Continuously archive device communications for auditing and playback.
Re-create historical tracking records to provide advanced intelligence data.
Import tracking data from outside data sources.
Provide on-screen map measurement tools.
Display multiple types of maps to identify points of interest for advanced deployment planning.
Present 24 hour monitoring of geofences and boundaries with UI, text and email breach alerts.
Allow multiple maps on-screen at one time to multiply Operation monitoring capacities.
Cluster individual devices onto one map for easy monitoring.
Import media events such as pictures and audio files sent from devices.
Can go live to a URL address for additional monitoring capabilities.
Provide administrators tools for auditing all activities of Users and the application.
Provide a calendar tool for scheduling automatic data downloads from outside sources..
Present multiple map overlays for customized on-screen mapping.
Support map printing with multiple security identifications.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE DASHBOARD

Overview

The Administrative Dashboard contains tools to help Administrators set up and oversee many aspects of the application. It is where defaults can be added when first setting up the application, or when situations change that require default modifications. The Dashboard is also the home for an Audit Log that allows you to see every activity in the program as it is happening. The Log can also be an investigative tool to recreate past histories in the application.

Here is also where Users are given permission to see or not see parts of the application depending on security protocols. It is under Roles that individual types of User jobs are associated with certain permissions.

To see the Dashboard:

Open the Menu > Administration > Dashboard.
The menu on the left provides access to the following tools:

$C:\Users\RICHAR~1.HOW\AppData\Local\Temp\SNAGHTML7c1aa3.PNG$

AUDIT LOG --- An automatic tracking tool for every action taken in EVOLUTION. The tool provides detection of and response to unauthorized information processing or use.
ROLES --- Gives Administrators the ability to create and assign Users various permissions ‘in bulk’ under one Role as related to their jobs or functions.
USER --- Provides Administrators with a list all Users with access to EVOLUTION. Administrators can modify or change the access permissions of each User from this location.
MAP CONFIGURATION --- Allows Administrators to select default map settings for the application, choose direction providers and geocoder suppliers, and set up URLs to those providers.
CONFIGURE HOME BUTTON --- Allows Administrators to pre-set and save a certain point on the base map as a ‘home’ location. By saving the location, the map will always move to this area when the application is opened.

Audit Log

The Audit Log tracks and records all information processing and activities in EVOLUTION 24 hours a day.

Use the log to follow immediate and historical activities.

To see the log:

1. Open Menu > Administration > Dashboard > Audit Log.

2. Scan the log. If anything appears abnormal, left-click to highlight that listing.

$C:\Users\RICHAR~1.HOW\AppData\Local\Temp\SNAGHTML169e0a5.PNG$

Roles

In the Roles section of the Dashboard, Administrators can create multi-permissioned User Roles and give specific permissions to a group or an individual basis. Here you can create Users roles that reflect the types of job individuals have while limiting access to other parts of the software.

The following is an example of how to create a new Role. The role will be called an ‘AFW Standard User’ role. It is for a new User that needs to have the same access in Evolution that they had when using the AutoFind Web tracking service.

Note: In Evolution each individual is classified by default as a ‘USER’ and are provided basic ‘User’ permissions. As User Roles expand the basic USER can be given added permissions.

Take the following steps to create the new Role.

1. Open the Evolution Menu > Administration > Dashboard >Roles.

2. In the Roles list, right-click any listing to open a shortcut menu.

Click Add New Role.

$C:\Users\RICHAR~1.HOW\AppData\Local\Temp\SNAGHTMLfb7218.PNG$

3. In the Role Permissions Editor, enter a Name and Description for the new role (which we call an AFW Standard User)

Click SAVE.

ROLES AND PERMISSIONS

Creating New User Roles

The following steps are used by Super-Administrators and Administrators to give individuals and certain groups permission to access parts of the Evolution application. Permissions can vary from simply tracking Devices on the map, to creating broad based Case Files. This can mean creating a digital User Role that will give new Users specific permissions to match their job responsibilities.

In the following example we will be create what is called an ‘AFW Standard User’ role for someone that wants to have the same accesses in Evolution that they had when using the AutoFind Web tracking service. A description of the Roles, Permissions and Terminologies can be found in the next section of this document.

Note: In Evolution each individual is classified by default as a ‘USER’ and are provided basic ‘User’ permissions. As User Roles expand the basic USER can be given added permissions.

Adding Permissions to Users

The following is for Super-Administrators or Administrators to update or add access permissions to individual Users of Evolution. This section explains how to give permissions to view, edit and modify various functionalities in Evolution.

Note: In Evolution each individual is classified by default as a ‘USER’ and are provided basic ‘User’ permissions. As a basic User role expands Users can be given additional permissions.

Take the following steps to add (or delete) Users permissions without having to create a new Role.

This process works best when changing only a few permission listings at a time. For large numbers of permission changes, consider making those changes by creating a new Role or several Roles with the proper permissions.

1. Open the Menu > Administration > Dashboard > Users.

$C:\Users\RICHAR~1.HOW\AppData\Local\Temp\SNAGHTMLd81d25.PNG$

2. In the Users list, select the User you want to give the added permissions.

Creating Specific AFW Type Permissions for Users

The following procedure shows how to create a Role in Evolution to give Users permissions that match those of a standard AutoFind Web (AFW) user. The procedure allows Users familiar with AFW to see the same set of corresponding functions in Evolution as when using AFW despite that many of the terminologies may be new and different.

Note: In Evolution each individual is classified by default as a ‘USER’ and are provided basic ‘User’ permissions. As User roles expand the basic USER can be given added permissions. Or the User can be provided with an entirely new Role that has the needed permissions attached. That is the process we are using here.

Take the following steps to create a standard AFW Type role in Evolution.

1. Open the Evolution Menu > Administration > Dashboard > Roles.
