Introduction
Fuel Alerts warn the user once the vehicle fuel level falls below, exceeds, or equivalent to a user-defined value, either as a result of fuel theft or ordinary fuel consumption. The use of this function is dependant on the presence of a fuel monitoring module installed in the vehicle.
Alerts
There are 2 (two) types of Fuel Alerts; Fuel Theft Alerts and Fuel Level Alerts.
Fuel Theft Alerts
Fuel Theft Alerts warns the user once a sudden drop of the fuel level falls below a user-defined threshold.
Fuel Level Alerts
Fuel Level Alerts warn the user once the fuel level falls below, exceeds, or equivalent to a user-defined value.

Start Date: Set up a date to start receiving alerts, once the event takes place. It is important to keep in mind that if the start date is set to a future date, no alerts will be received until that date.
Start Time: Set up a time to start sending alerts, once the event takes place. It is important to keep in mind that if the start date is set to a future date, no alerts will be received until that date.
Never Ends: Tick the checkbox to create a recurring alert. In such a case, the user(s) will continue receiving alerts until the alert rule is edited and the checkbox is unticked. Once Never Ends is selected, End Date will no longer be available as a parameter.
End Date: Set up a date to stop receiving alerts.
End Time: Set up a time to stop sending alerts. It is important to keep in mind that if an event takes place after the set end time, no alerts will be received.
Notifications Limit: Tick the checkbox to set a limit for the number of notifications received. Once the pre-set limit is reached, no more alerts will be received. When checked, Times to Notify and Reset Frequency will be available.
Times to Notify: Sets the number of notifications to be received during the selected time frame from the Reset Frequency drop-down menu. Once the number of notifications is reached, no more notifications will be received until the time window from the Reset Frequency is elapsed.
Reset Frequency: Sets the time frame before resetting the notifications counter. This can be either Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Yearly.
