Filter panel

The Filter panel can be opened from both the Map screen and the Events panel. When opened from the:

  • map, it allows you to filter the data displayed on the Phones panel and the map by: data type, call direction, date range, day of week and hour of day. These settings override any time settings applied on the Phones panel. If you require a step-by-step procedure on using the filter on the map, refer to Filter the map by data type, call direction and time.

  • Events panel, it allows you to filter the data displayed on the Events panel by: data type, call direction, correlation, date range, day of week and hour of day. If you require a step-by-step procedure on using the filter on the Events panel, refer to the last step in Viewing a phone's last and most frequent events.

Tap to select what type of events you want to display. You can choose to filter data based on whether it is voice, message (SMS and MMS), data, GPS ping, Smart Track alert or other. For example, if you are only interested if the phones you are monitoring trigger an alert, then you can filter the events to only show Alerts.

Other includes all other communication signals from the operator which indicate the phone is actively communicating with the tower such as the phone registering with the tower. This type of data is included on the map as a PRTT event .

Tap to select what you want displayed based on the call direction.

This setting is only displayed when you open the Filter panel from the Events panel; it is not displayed when you open the Filter panel directly from the map by tapping .

By default uncorrelated data is not displayed on the Events panel. Uncorrelated data is data from a tower that is not in the G-Scout App's tower database, resulting in the tower's location being unknown. If you want to view uncorrelated data on the Events panel for the purpose of providing you with the knowledge that the phone is active and communicating then you should enable this setting . Any events using uncorrelated towers are marked Not correlated as shown below.

Tap to enter the date and time range. You can use to increase the From date by a specific number of days. You can use Now to set To to the current date and time.

Tap to select which day of the week's data is displayed. This is useful if you want to look at a phone's historical data on a specific day or days.

Tap to select which hour of the day's data is displayed. This is useful if you want to look at a phone's historical data on a specific hour or hours.

Tap to clear any filters that you have applied. This resets the Phones panel and the map to the settings you were using prior to applying the filters.

Tap to cancel any changes you have made. The Filter panel closes.

Tap to establish a connection with the server which then updates the Phones panel and map with any settings you have updated. Note, you only need to tap this if you plan to keep the Filter panel open as closing the panel using automatically saves your changes and updates the Phones panel and the map.
