CORE Interface​

Once logged in, the CORE interface will load as shown below. The interface is divided into three main sections:

  • On the left is the Control Panel, which lists your accounts, groups, and trackers.
  • The central area features the Map, displaying tracker locations and geo objects.
  • On the right side is the Tools Panel, which is hidden by default and can be accessed when needed.

2FA Settings​

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) enhances security by requiring a 6-digit code in addition to your username and password during login.

Toggle Ruler​

Activating Ruler Mode allows you to measure distances between two points on the map by dragging a set of points. You can select locations manually on the map or enter them directly.

Reset Interface​

If your interface becomes cluttered with screens or menus, clicking the Home button will reset it to its default state.

Master Event Log​

The Master Event Log provides a detailed history of all activity across groups or trackers within your account.

Log Out​

Click this icon to log out of the CORE platform and return to the login screen.

Collapse/Show Control Panel​

The Collapse button hides the control panel, expanding the map to fill more of the screen. To restore the control panel, press the Menu button that replaces it at the top left of your screen.
