This application has has a lot of potential and should be a great tool for users to use with Wialon.  Status creation is very simple and this on its own is a great benefit.

Re: WiaTag

After initial testing I have the following items

1. Is this product going to replace GPS tag or is it an additional product?
2. I can't set the schedule for the operating time for the application.
3. When a picture is uploaded is it possible to to have some sort of confirmation it has been sent and if it is a large picture can we have a progress bar to show status of the upload.
4. Can we add to the action list? I would like to have the ability to have a hyperlink that would allow for connecting to other applications.
5. How do we remotely connect to the Wia Tag?
6. Is it possible to have the ability to enter text messages as an action item
7. Have the ability to read NFC tags or bar-codes and send that information to Wialon.

Is there a user guide for the product?

1. It is an additional product.
2. We'll check it
3. Progress bar isn't possible here but, with any result, you'll get a toast message ("Photo sent" on success or some kind of error).
4. It's an interesting proposal. We'll consider it for further versions.
5. Via commands in Wialon Hosting
6. WiaTag is only a tracker and texting is not a part of it.
7. We'll consider it for further versions.
User guide in progress.

Re: WiaTag

Thanks for the reply Kopa,

We are working on some solution sets at the moment and what i want to do is to change the statue group that is in use from Wialon how do I do that? The use case is that i have a technician that starts using one group of statuses but based on sending a status from that group i want to switch him to another status group.

Can I create new status groups remotely? so i have a supervisor that needs to create a checklist to be completed by the field services person. The checklist depends on the findings from the first set of statuses, is that possible as well?

Regards
John

Re: WiaTag

For the sent message for Item 3 I do not always get the sent message. In my testing even though it said it had sent the photo it did not always show up in Wialon. Checking the application the blackbox was shown as empty. Today I found that if the battery is low (30%) the messages did not show up in the blackbox, that is it was empty and i could not change the status. However when i connected to power 3 messages appeared in the blackbox and i could send a status change. Is this normal? I am testing on a Samsung S6 edge.

Also in the final version will we be able to edit the "Contact Us" details to not default to support@gurtam.com?

Yes, it's possible to create remote status remotely, however, sets of statuses can't be interconnected.

Re: WiaTag

Is it possible to have entry fields associated with the status? We have requests from companies that want to use it for sales person tracking and they want the salesperson to enter the sales value when they select the status "sale is made". It would be good if we had the ability to have a number of these text entry fields and we could link to which status they would be triggered from. So when the trigger status is selected the field would pop up for the entry.

They are also raising the ability to capture NFC tag or barcode information this is a feature that I requested before so can this be looked at in one of the sooner future updates :-)

Hi Kopa ,

Can we have a command to take 10  snapshots with 5 seconds delay in between each snapshot ?
I'd like to rigger something like that if Device enters or leaves a Geofence.

Sint
25

WiaTag

Re: WiaTag

The snapshot may be able to be done with the Get Image command triggered by a notification that fires on the entry or exit from a Geofence. If that can be modified so that we can specify a number of images and the frequency (in seconds) between them it would be great. eg Get Image 5,2 so the device takes 5 images separated by 2 seconds. So in your case ysv  it would be Get Image 10,5

When I send the command to WiaTag running on a Samsung S6 I get an error.

16.02.2016 17:27:54: Command 'Get Image' sent to unit 'S6 Edge Test'.

16.02.2016 17:27:56: Error executing command 'Get Image' for unit 'S6 Edge Test'.

I can't log in with the application to my hosting account so can't test it. Initial thoughts are that we need to be able to customize the fields that are displayed and it should be triggered by a status from within Wiatag. Having to work between two applications is not a good situation.

I may have solved the problem initially by creating a special status with the sales values and the user selects the value. If this status can be triggered by the developers from another status through the setting of a parameter it would be ideal.

About logging in please check my answer on another thread (about WERA). And about the ability to send some events on status change: we can do it if Gurtam opens Intents. Before it, it is not possible.
Another way to do it is to integrate it with Wiatrack Pro. But Wiatrack Pro is not free.

Re: WiaTag

We are doing a POC of Wiatag for sales force tracking and need to be able to send out a route for the sales person to become a set of statuses in Wiatag. We can create the visit schedule in Wialon as a route but because the stores are close together we are worried that the checkpoint will not trigger correctly. The option is to have the checkpoints as statuses in Wiatag and the sales person selects the checkpoint he is visiting.

We need to have up to 30 statuses for this scenario. I can do it by creating multiple status groups but this is not easy to manage.

Is this possible?

Wiatag status is shown in the notifications bar. When Wiatag works, there is a special icon there; when it stops, the icon disappears.
If you see no such icon, enable it in Settings => Administrative settings => Notifications => Show app status.

Re: WiaTag

ysv, JohnG,
If you activate NFC option in the WiaTag settings, you can send tag's value by two ways:
- go to the main screen in the WiaTag and place a tag to the device
- go to the home screen at your device and place a tag to the device and then check WiaTag at system dialog which contains NFC compatible  applications list (If you have chosen default NFC application, you should reset this at device settings)
Upon reading a tag, a message containing 'nfc' parameter is sent to the server.

Is there any way to

1. Show what is being read from the QR capture and NFC capture on the screen for the user, and
2. capture the text information on the tag so the user can see it. We encode different items in the test like the item description, inspection information
etc and would be great that when the user uses Wiatag to scan they see this. The ID is automatically sent on the scan to the server.

I have massive problems with WiaTag on IOS.

For me it seems that the connection of WiaTag and IOS Location Api is not bugfree.

I have enabled gps for WiaTag and Internet etc.
But if i am located on a location that has no valid gps the location api still gives a near by location by wifi or by lbs data.
For me it seems so that WiaTag uses only the GPS location if it is there.
Than i found it often that it sends / uses old location of last valid gps signal but IOS location API already shows total different location.

2. What are the maid differences/benefits with GPSTag vs WiaTag?

Yes we found this article most helpful, this is why we have interest, just sought feedback from users that have been utilising the WiaTag - nothing beats personal experience though.

We originally thought on/off schedule was available for both iOS AND Android for GPSTag only to find that it is only for Android - is this feature available for both iOS and Android with WiaTag?

Does it also work with Chatterbox function?

We have offered it to one of our primary clients that have about 40 GPSTags in use to trial and provide feedback. They will likely take on the trial in order to compare.

Many thanks again, have a good weekend.

Hello. First of all you need to check filtration settings and selected data collection mode. Because positioning message from iOS location API go directly into WiaTag filtering, which check this message by various parameters (speed, accuracy etc) - and decide, use or not to use recieved data. And if message was saved in WiaTag, it used for all outgoing messages to server, until it will replaced by filter with next successful iOS location API message. For this reason, there is a difference with location data of native iOS applications and WiaTag. If you switch off all fitering, and set data collection to continious mode - you may see, WiaTag will start collecting location data without difference with other system apps/services.

Thanks for you proposals.

We use Wiatag for both location tracking and also as data collection app. Here are the practical use for each feature :

1.       Add the option to add custom statuses values as checkboxes to be able to select multiple values and send them in one message to the server
·         We send agents to take photos of Ads Billboards to make sure it’s visible and available at the location for maintenance purposes. So sometimes we need to send predefined parameters for each photo (e.g Ad is Available, Ad is Visible, Lighting is Working), that’s why we need to make the custom status as Checkboxes to select multiple values and send it at once for each Billboard.

2.       Save the photos taken within the app to gallery
·         Our agents take more than 200 photos per day for different locations. We need to make sure that if something goes wrong and the photo couldn’t be sent to the server then we have a backup for it on the internal storage of the mobile.

3.       Add a text message with the photo before sending it to the server
·         We need to send the Media Billboard serial number with each photo taken, so when the admin receives the image on the server, he would be able to store each photo with its serial number.

4.       Send multiple photos at once
·         In our case, each media billboard in one location has two sides (Side A & Side B). So receiving one message for 2 sides would be more convenient for us.

The above is a real project we are working on now but I believe these features can be used in different scenarios for other data collection tasks other than media monitoring.

Re: WiaTag

montasser,

Our primary user for this solution currently use GPSTag provided by use - been using for about 12mths.

They have a number of systems that they use with their iPads. They provide this to their delivery drivers and other field personnel - original brief was to track the iPads..... WiaTag was only being in beta at the time so we used GPSTag.

They heavily rely on the Chatterbox app for messages and images. We are trying to determine if WiaTag is better option than GPSTag. To date we've had no major dramas with GPSTag.

If so we will discuss not only with this client but all those using GPSTag. We have asked our client to trial and awaiting devission.

Cheers.

Onwards and Upwards!!

I have massive problems with WiaTag on IOS.

For me it seems that the connection of WiaTag and IOS Location Api is not bugfree.

I have enabled gps for WiaTag and Internet etc.
But if i am located on a location that has no valid gps the location api still gives a near by location by wifi or by lbs data.
For me it seems so that WiaTag uses only the GPS location if it is there.
Than i found it often that it sends / uses old location of last valid gps signal but IOS location API already shows total different location.

Wolf.

Hello. First of all you need to check filtration settings and selected data collection mode. Because positioning message from iOS location API go directly into WiaTag filtering, which check this message by various parameters (speed, accuracy etc) - and decide, use or not to use recieved data. And if message was saved in WiaTag, it used for all outgoing messages to server, until it will replaced by filter with next successful iOS location API message. For this reason, there is a difference with location data of native iOS applications and WiaTag. If you switch off all fitering, and set data collection to continious mode - you may see, WiaTag will start collecting location data without difference with other system apps/services.


thanks for explaination of algorithm. going to recheck that with my ios.

Re: WiaTag

We have downloaded WiaTag to one of our mobile S6, mine actually.

We currently have a number of customers using GPS Tag but as it is no longer being developed thought we'd start testing WiaTag as replacement.

Must say we struggled a little and still are with a few things that maybe someone could help us with.

1 - we see you can send image, SOS. Can drivers/users also send txt messages as you can in GPSTag and manage via Chatterbox? Cannot find this anywhere in WiaTag - this function is very heavily relied upon by our customers.

2 - we have customer that wishes to use to log trip mode (logbooking) - business/private. We set up custom status, but when we view info in Wialon monitoring we see both Business and Private under 2 parameters. Image shows the correct one as "tripmode" we created, other "mode" we didn't and cannot find it. (We are still yet to work out how to build reports for this also)

Other attached image is how we set up custom status.

Appreciate any feedback from other users.

Note: just had confirmed wiatag is not able to send message conversations like GPSTag can so is of no use to us - shame. Will stick with GPSTag instead.

Thanks.

Re: WiaTag

New version (1.5) of WiaTag is available for android & iOS.

What's new:
- Request configuration - from the monitoring system, you can execute the command "Request configuration" http://joxi.ru/eAORw6JtYVWP2o. Find a configuration file you can to the file server by using the http://apps.wialon.com/#disketta application http://joxi.ru/v29XgyEH6JywmG
- Manage custom statuses (available for ios, in the android version will be in the next release) - in the settings of the "Custom statuses", the option "Numeric message`s format" is added. It allows you to additionally register in the message status index: http://joxi.ru/bmo0lbGCKeYl2y
- There was an opportunity to establish phone number for the action "SOS" - if the phone number is set, then when you touch SOS, an automatic call goes to it.

Have sent many of the crash reports as the app asks and confirms when sent, as I believe a few of our network colleagues that are also using WiaTag have done.

Also having another issue, in Wialon it only shows offline when in fact it is online. We are using "Standard" as our optimal setting mode.

We even uninstalled then reinstalled selecting Standard mode and left everything defaulted to see if it made any difference. It didn't - seems to be tracking fine all the same though, but still show as offline.

Re: WiaTag

Hi everyone

Most customers have some problems while using Tracker Applications like WiaTag because their employees cheat and they can't do anything. They say Tracker Applications are not reliable. I try to list some problems and some suggestion for solving them:

1. Mock Location
I explained in my previous post:

Hi There

Is there any possibility to detect Mock Location? Some Companies has problem with their employees who enable this Developer Option in Android. It would be convenient if WiaTag can detect it and send it as a parameter. This way we can create a sensor for that and use it in Notifications, Reports and...

2. Some employees turn devices off and then say that our device battery was low or device turned off since battery got off. We suggest to add 2 parameters, first Power Source (shows if device is connected to external power or not) and second Device Up-time (device up-time from last restart). combination of parameter Battery level and these two new parameters will prevent employees to cheat.
3. Some employees uninstall the application (specially in long trips) so there will be no data in Wialon system and just before they back to office they reinstall it. They say that there is a bug in application that didn't work. I suggest to add a functionality to get an optional Administration Access from user in setting and in this case prevent users from uninstalling the application. Users can uninstall it only with entering Admin Password (which is supported now in WiaTag)
4. Some employees turn off their location in Android and in this case there in no way for WiaTag to acquire location data. It would be more convenient if we could prevent them from such cheat but as I know (not sure) it's impossible. So, I suggest to add another parameter to send Location State in android immediately as it's status changes. This way in Wialon we can create a sensor for it and prove employees that they cheat.
5. Same as #4 we can add a parameter for Start/Stop of WiaTag service.
6. Some customers are parents want to use WiaTag for tracking their kids and based on our law (I'm not sure about other countries) parents can track their kids anonymously. So, they prefer to hide the application from application list (Menu, Apps list).

Other great partners please share your ideas about these cases, Please...

Re: WiaTag

Regarding your previous question on MDM software:

The aim of the mass market mobile devices and operating systems is to secure customer’s daily device usage. Hence we, as an application developer, won’t be able to:

- force the device to be turned on if it is charged
- prevent uninstall
- force share of device’s location
- force open of the application
- ‘hide’ the application

The functionality requested does not lie in the domain of WiaTag, or any other application in that matter. Hence, Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution is indeed sounds as what you are asking for.

We have discovered one thing that would be a valuable enhancement.

When staff member used for a short trip of about 2km (on foot) and turned WiaTag off upon return, it still showed them located 400m from office.

Standard setting was chosen for mode. As black box was not due to upload messages at the time they remained in black box.

Maybe it would benefit with automatically send all messages on turning off.....?

It's more convenience if you do a simple Window application that users can creat configuration file with it and save it (like most hardware configuration programs).

I think for "providing" WiaTag to Endusers there must be a config link or config QR Code we can end to the user and he scans it and the device connectes to correct account and downloads pre-configured configuration!

Maybe a good theme for discussing at the Show in Minsk :-))

Yes, I would have to agree Wolf, we too are having difficulty in finding a simple solution workaround for end-users. Usually end-users have limited tech understanding, that's why they come to us after all.

Over the weekend I looked at what the "Share configuration" in-app option did, thinking that maybe it sent/exported a configuration file that could be emailed....didn't appear to do anything as nothing was attached to the email - then even it one was how is end-user to utilise? Maybe we do it wrong....?

Are still promoting GPS Tag as it is a lot more user-friendly, to promote WiaTag I fear will potentially create extra strain on our tech resources unnecessarily.

ideally we wish to actively promote WiaTag as appearance alone presents better marketing as also additional benefits over GPSTag.

Re: WiaTag

We are playing with some people and analysing the stability of WiaTag. Smart Mode on my BV6000 Android 7 device is not very smart, it just send after 30km or so, sometimes after 10. Than it sends fine.
If i use the default config it just stores the messages and dont send. Needed many tries to find a config that blackbox is unloaded.
On IOS my blackbox is at all not unloaded.

I love WiaTag and the ideas behind, i also know that "supporting so many different Android Versions" is a problem. And background on IOS is also a problem. But there are two really needs:
- it must run stable
- it must be documentated in a way that WE can understand it out of the box without doing "reverse engineering" of how to find a configuration that works always

Yep. And additional warning if service was disabled (this can be done if app was not closed) and also if app was killed (you can use a physical cookie on android to detect that). So for Error finding and telling the client "ok guys, if your employe switch off the GPS or disable the service, or Kill the app in taskmanager you dont need to blame us for it"

Re: WiaTag

Hi Hamed, Wolf,

At the moment we are sending messages when we get a new location or user sends a photo, position, SOS, QR code or NTS-pay. Hence, the logic of sending a message when the location services are changing their state, or the application is closed is not supported in WiaTag at the moment. We will add the request to the backlog, however, please be informed that we aim to keep iOS and Android apps coherent to each other and the proposed solution does not solve all workarounds that end-user may do in order to stop location tracking or app usage. Hence, that is a matter of debate if we are to implement the requested feature. As noted earlier there are certain pre-assumptions that OSes have that limit our involvement in what the end-user may do with her cellphone.

One of our customers told us that their users are "activating" the power save mode when the energy of the phone is low, however they are not sending the locations stored in the black box until very late. Because of this the customer can't see the real time tracking of their people and asked us to "hide" the power save mode, or make the password needed to activate the mode.
Is there a way to solve our customer issue?

here are the collected WiaTag enhancements:
- Build in DriverChat
- Some kind of messages if Software was stopped, activated, GPS deactivated, SW killed
- Better and easier Configuration via Remote
- Remote configurable "Checklists or Forms".
- an ability to add a checklist as a form of precheck when the wiatag first starts ir when detects charging. This way if a fleet of trucks is using mobile handsets, they can do a safety checklist checkoff in any truck before they actually start the trip.
(last two points make also sence in Logistics, but also in WiaTag!)
- checked points on a Form / Checklist must be send to Wialon with location and timestamp to be available in Reports!
- Forms should be remotely sended to device together with device config
- its should be possible to choose between the forms. Not only one Form.

Please vote for it guys :-))

The issue is known and reproduces most of the time on Samsung devices. It happens that some of the devices do have a bug of sending an image upside down. We have fixed that for all modes of sending the photo besides the "original" one, as in this case the idea is that we are sending the image "as-is". Hence, the solution to that would be to go the Settings and choose any Photo quality besides the Original one, e.g. "High".

Last version of WiaTag (1.7.380) on Samsung A7 doesn't upload black-box messages automatically (sending mode is set to By Timeout) . We down grade the WiaTag to version 1.4.330 and it works. please check.

—  Please, send your logs to the development@gurtam.com as on our Samsung the application does work

Gurtam Team, please confirm if below case will be considered in next WiaTag version or not

—  We are looking at how this can be managed in the current application. We will update the community once we have a confirmed way to listen for such events.

All of you who suffered from the location service blue bar on iOS 11 have a solution now:

with an iOS 11 Beta 5 update if you switch location service to the 'Always' setting there will be no blue bar

WiaTag iOS Update: Service, location, and crash statuses.

Dear users of WiaTag,

With a current update of WiaTag you may turn on ‘Location and service statuses’ in Additional parameters to send the messages with the following parameters:

  • Service status
  • Location services status
  • Crash report

This feature is aimed to provide a higher level control of how the application is used and reveal the cases of compromise intentional or unintentional.

Here is how to enable the function:

Settings → Additional parameters → Location and service status

WiaTag 

1. Service status parameter

Service parameter will come in the message when the user turns on or turns off the service:

WiaTag 

In Wialon they appear in Messages:

See filtered by 's_on' messages:
's_on=1' — the service is turned on
's_on=0' — the service is turned off

WiaTag

This will tell us that the user was turning off the service.

2. Location Services parameter
Another way how user may compromise the usage of the application is by turning off 'Location Services' in the phone's settings:

WiaTag
In this case the parameter in the message will be “ls=1” for turning on location services, “ls=0” for disabling location services.
WiaTag

3. Crash status parameter

Finally, if the app crashes, the message will come with a parameter and value “cr=1”

(for the demonstration purposes we have created a build that crashes one the “+” button is hit)

WiaTag

Wialon Hosting:

WiaTag

Please, keep in mind that the message with the Location Services and Crash status will come with once the application is running.
As an overview I will mention once again 3 new parameters that are now avaliable in the 'Location and service status' of Additional settings:
ls=0 — location services turned off
ls=1 — location services turned on
s_on=0 — the service is tuned off
s_on=1 — the service is tuned on
cr=1 — the crash has occured

Glossary:
Location services — location settings of the iOS, Settings --> Privacy --> Location Services (on/off) or choosing a Location Services setting for the given application from never, only while using the app, always. For the correct work of the application 'Always' should be chosen.
Service — turning on or off the switch of WiaTag on the main screen
Crash — unexpected stop of the application functioning and exit.

The function is turned on by default for the new users of WiaTag. Existing users will need to activate it in the settings.
Similar functionality will appear on Android devices with upcoming updates.

Pavel, thanks for your explanation, but my problem is that can't find the parameter for mock location in messages, what's the name of that?

129

WiaTag

Re: WiaTag

hhamedk

Mock location
If this option is chosen, the sent messages contain the parameter 'mc'. Its values are bits:
0x1 — if in the developer's settings there is a flag that allows to send mock (fake) location;
0x2 — if there is at least one application on the device that requests access to send mock location;
0x4 —  if in the unit's location there is a 'mock' parameter (from the version 18 of API).
The values of the parameter can be summed. For instance, a '3' received in the parameter means that
the conditions 1 and 2 have been observed.

WiaTag Android Update:

Dear WiaTag user, a fresh update is out in the Google Play Market. It features:

— Updated settings and password preferences.
We have separated Global, application-level settings from User-mode settings and established a singular admin password for the changes. Password-protected properties are all Global settings and View, Select, Edit or Add and Delete for editing the User Mode settings.

—Location service status
We added a new setting in Additional Parameters — Location Services status. Once it is enabled parameters are sent to Wialon:
ls=0 — location services are turned off:
ls=1 — location services via GPS are turned on
ls=2 — location services via Wi-Fi and mobile network are turned on
ls=3 — location services via GPS, Wi-Fi and mobile network are turned on

— Supported devices without Google Play Services.
WiaTag is not available for a stable run on Android devices without Google Play Services.

Re: WiaTag

Hi All,

Please consider as a future update. -  Command to 'tick' a status.

I have created a Custom Status. I would like to be able to run a nightly job to set the custom status to 'A' for the beginning of the day. This reflects in the sensor state displayed in the work area. As employees start and progress through the day through status 'B', 'C' and finally 'D' I can visually follow their updates. I will soon have 50 units. Re-setting all units manually back to 'A' is quite labor intensive. If a command is available to tick an appropriate status, I will be able to automate through a nightly job.

Thank you for your consideration.

Hi, soporteCA

We do not consider that to be a vulnerability, but rather a limitation of the given OS. To control such cases, you may ask the app to send a message when location services are turned on/off. The feature is available for both iOS and Android.

This is a quote from WiaTag documentation.

Service messages. When this setting is selected, the message contains the following parameters:
service status (s_on=0 — disabled, s_on=1 — enabled);
unforseen service shutdown (cr=1).
Sent messages also contain the parameter 'ls', the value of which depends on the selected location source
detector:
ls=3 — when GPS, Wi-Fi and mobile networks are used;
ls=2 — when Wi-Fi and mobile networks are used;
ls=1 — when GPS is used;
ls=0 — when location services are off.

Re: WiaTag

We have found WiaTag becoming popular choice for customers since Coronavirus has seen many new potential customers needing a delivery solution, Logistics app, and this makes a great combination as it is less cost and not needing to purchase hardware and install.

Love the ability to send customers a QR code to activate too. Is there any chance that additional setting options could be added to this site instead of just basics?

Settings such as turning on "Additional parameters" when generating the QR code.

Currently we direct customers to a "How to" video we made showing them how to achieve this, it would be great to just do this for them when we create the QR code to send them to activate it. smile

Dear ryanebeerman,

i had the same problem and i tried all possible soultions.


the best one was activate remote configuration
create a notification with connection loss type for 1 min, the action of the notification was to send a command to the unit

the notification is (send position).

whenever the unit receive the notification it will sent the position right away.

to be sure that a position is sent i created up to 7 notifications
connection loss for 1 min, 2 min .....7 min

so if the first one didint work the other one will.


these notifications had a time limitation depending on their working time
