Managing field units

This topic describes how to manage which field units appear on the Sentinel screen.

Field units are configured so that their trail data is loaded automatically into OSS-ESPA. These field data files then automatically appear on the Manage field units screen where you can manage whether or not the field trails appear on the Sentinel screen.

Gladiator Forensics has configured your field units to load the trail data automatically.

NOTE: The Manage field units screen and the GAR drive management screen are completely independent of each other. This means a GAR unit's drive trail automatically appears on the Manage field units screen without the need for you to approve it on the GAR drive management screen. It also means that deleting a GAR drive trail on one screen does not delete it on the other screen, for example deleting a GAR drive trail on the Manage field units screen does not delete the GAR drive trail from the GAR drive management screen so the drive trail will still be available for use in cell coverage analyses.

To delete a field trail

On the main menu click Other links to expand its menu.
Click Manage field units. The Manage field unit screen opens on a new tab.
In Get units from enter the criteria that allows you to locate the drives you want to delete. You can do this by either:
- selecting Use date range, entering the data range, then clicking Get units.
- selecting Use map boundaries, setting the map's boundaries, then clicking Get units.
- using a combination of both the date and the map boundaries.
The screen is updated in Units to display any field units which performed trails during your selection.
Select the field units you want to delete trails for then click Get data.

The screen is updated to display all the field trails for the field units you selected.
Identify which trail you want to delete then click . The field trail is now deleted and the data is no longer available to view on this screen or the Sentinel screen.
