During your account setup, you customize the dashboard for your organization and the experience of your products. These settings can be modified at any time in your Samsara Dashboard from Settings ( gear icon ) > Organization > General.

You can configure any of the following organizational settings:

Field

Description

Organization Information

Settings that define your organization. Drivers will enter the Organization Name and the Driver Fleet ID that you specify every time they log into the Samsara Driver App. You can also display the Logo for your organization on the Samsara Dashboard.

Language and Region

  • Locale: Determines the unit of measure for distance, fuel consumption, and currency throughout the dashboard.

  • Timezone: Default time zone throughout the dashboard and for the Samsara Driver App. You can override the Home Terminal default time zone, if needed, in the individual driver profile.

  • Language: Default language to use when new users are added to Samsara.

Connection

Internet connectivity settings for your devices. Samsara provides 4G LTE cellular connectivity (with fallback to 3G) from AT&T to vehicle and asset gateways. You can extend cellular connectivity to other corporate or driver-provided devices by configuring a hotspot and specify a preferred Wi-Fi network for the gateway .

  • Hotspot: To allow drivers to connect additional devices such as tablets, laptops, and mobile devices to the WiFi hotspot on the gateway, enable the Hotspot. You can choose any name or password for the WiFi network that you would like, and you can change this at any time.

  • Whitelisted IP Addresses: (Super User Only) To allow devices persistent access to your Wi-Fi hotspot, Add Whitelist Entry for the device IP address.

  • Wi-Fi Networks: To supply internet connectivity to your gateway from your corporate yard, connect it to your WiFi Networks. Specify the Network Name, Encryption Type and either the passphrase or credentials required for authentication.

Vehicle Battery Conservation Mode

By default, the gateway uses a small amount of vehicle battery when idle. To reduce consumption of the vehicle battery by the gateway when the vehicle is not in use, it is recommended to Enable Vehicle Battery Conservation Mode for most vehicles that are subject to battery drain under default settings.

When in Vehicle Battery Conservation Mode, gateway functionality including WiFi hotspot connectivity and camera video retrieval are not available. The gateway will wake when vehicle motion resumes, resulting in reduced GPS tracking accuracy at the beginning of a trip.

Advanced

In the Advanced section, you can edit your Monthly Data Plan and make organizational changes to refresh your account status or remove the organization. If you are using a Samsara trial account, you can also deactivate when testing or evaluation is complete.
