Device Ping/Event Icons:

This article explains the update types received from devices — such as Heartbeat or Engine Running — and the icons that visually represent them.

These icons appear primarily on breadcrumb trails and in Driver Safety Reports, and may also be used in select other reports to show asset activity.

Use this guide to quickly understand what each icon means and how it relates to equipment behavior.
