The first screen a user sees affects the confidence and clarity with which they begin a GPS tracking experience. This update expanded Secure GPS login page customization and improved shared access links so each recipient can review dates and times in an appropriate time zone.
Administrators can change the page title, displayed text, background color, and background image without editing HTML. They can also create a link that shares access without revealing the main password and assign the correct time zone for the person or team using it.
A login page aligned with the organization
The login page is the entry point for employees, customers, and authorized partners. With this improvement, an organization can adapt visible elements to explain its service more clearly and maintain a presentation consistent with its identity.
Customization is particularly useful for tracking companies, logistics operators, and organizations that provide access to different user groups. A clear title and message help visitors confirm that they are in the right place before entering credentials.
Elements that can be customized without editing code
- Page title: identifies the portal or access experience.
- Visible text: guides users with messages suited to the service.
- Background color: supports an appearance related to the visual identity.
- Background image: adds visual context to the login screen.
The main advantage is that these changes can be made from settings without writing or modifying HTML. This reduces technical dependency, avoids markup errors, and lets an authorized administrator update the appearance more quickly.
Commercial benefits of a customized login experience
A page that is consistent with the organization can improve service recognition and reduce user uncertainty. It also supports instructions for different audiences, such as drivers, supervisors, asset owners, or customers reviewing their devices.
Visual customization does not change login security or account permissions. Its purpose is to present Secure GPS access more clearly; credentials, password policies, and authorization remain necessary.
Best practices for text, colors, and images
- Use a short title that clearly identifies the organization or service.
- Do not place sensitive information, passwords, private phone numbers, or internal instructions in public text.
- Choose colors with enough contrast for fields, buttons, and messages.
- Use an optimized image that does not slow loading or compete visually with the login screen.
- Test the page on desktop and mobile screens before announcing it to all users.
- Keep support and account recovery instructions clear when applicable.
Shared access through a link without providing the password
Secure GPS can create a shared access URL so another person can review authorized information without knowing the primary account password. The administrator can prepare access for a device or group, define its validity period, and deliver the link to the recipient.
This mechanism is useful for temporarily showing an asset's location to a customer, allowing an external team to follow an operation, or sharing visibility with a branch without informally exchanging passwords.
A separate time zone for each shared access link
The new function in this version is the ability to use a time zone different from that of the user who created the shared access. Dates and times are presented in the context configured for the recipient, making routes, positions, and events easier to interpret.
For example, a control center can operate in one country and share a device with a customer in another region. Selecting the customer's time zone lets both parties discuss the same activity without manually converting every timestamp or confusing when an event occurred.
How time zones help real operations
- International customers: review activity in their local time.
- Regional branches: interpret shifts and events according to their location.
- Temporary deliveries: relate positions to appointments and operational windows.
- Exception investigation: reduce errors when comparing calls, alerts, and routes.
- Support: both parties can explicitly agree on the time zone used by the link.
The time zone changes the time presentation, not the actual moment when a position was received. Teams should record the selected zone when the link is used as operational evidence.
Security of shared access links
The link avoids disclosing a password, but it acts as a credential: anyone who receives it can attempt to use the access within its scope and validity period. It should be sent only through appropriate channels and never posted on public sites or unnecessary conversations.
- Share only the devices or groups that are required.
- Set start and expiration dates that match the operation.
- Revoke or remove access when it is no longer needed.
- Verify the time zone before delivery.
- Do not reuse a temporary link for a permanent relationship without reviewing its scope.
- If you suspect forwarding, replace the link and review existing access.
How to configure both improvements in Secure GPS
- Open login page settings with an authorized account.
- Update the title, text, color, and background image, then review the result.
- Save changes and test access from different screen sizes.
- To share information, create a new access link and select the allowed device or group.
- Define the validity period and recipient's time zone.
- Test the link in a separate session to confirm scope, dates, and times.
- Deliver it to the recipient and revoke it when the operational need ends.
Functional summary for customers and integrators
The update moved customization of the login page title, text, color, and background image into settings controls that do not require editing HTML. It also added an independent time zone to URL-based shared access. The link retains its configured device or group scope and validity period, while displayed dates are converted to the time zone selected for the recipient.
