Learn how to migrate features from Manager Classic to Trackunit Manager with the Migration Tool.

Updated over 4 months ago

For the past year, Trackunit has been building and launching new features in Trackunit Manager to help you increase efficiency in your day-to-day business.

Trackunit Manager is designed to allow the addition of fresh capabilities and functionalities to help you as you digitize your business. Trackunit Manager still solves the same issues for your business, just with new or enhanced features.

As Manager Classic will be discontinued, we encourage you to start migrating your Manager Classic features to Trackunit Manager. For this purpose, you can use our Migration Tool directly in Trackunit Manager.

The Migration Tool needs to be made available for your account by your Trackunit representative. Reach out to your Trackunit representative if you would like to have access to the Migration Tool.



Migrate Zones, POIs, and Alarms with the Migration Tool

The Migration Tool is a step-by-step guide to help you move features from Manager Classic to the Trackunit Manager. It allows you to audit your existing features, determine which customizations you actually use, and transfer them to the corresponding use case in Trackunit Manager.

The Migration Tool is currently available for Zones, POI, and Alarms. The Migration Tool keeps track of your existing Manager Classic features and how many you have left to migrate.


Before migrating your Alarms, here are a few important points to note:

  • If you have Alarms in Manager Classic that have already triggered, they will not appear as triggered in Alerts in Trackunit Manager until the alert triggers again. For example: If you have a Zone alarm that triggered because your asset moved outside of the Zone, the asset will need to move into the Site and back out of the Site in order for the new Site-based theft Alert to trigger.

  • If you have Movement alarms set up in Manager Classic, they will be migrated to Movement-based theft Alerts in Trackunit Manager. These alerts will trigger if movement (specific range) of the asset is detected within a specific time frame. Movement includes instances where the machine in motion or is being transported on a truck, trailer etc. Learn how to create and edit your Movement-based theft Alerts here

  • If you have Geofence alarms set up in Manager Classic, they will be migrated to Movement-based theft alerts. Movement-based theft alerts are triggered if movement of the asset is detected outside the working hours you have set. We recommend that you check the settings of the new Movement-based theft alert after you have migrated it to make sure you have your working hours set up correctly.
