How Do I Add a New Fleet in DT3?
A fleet groups vehicles that share attributes such as year, make and model (for example, all 2025 Gillig hybrids). It makes them easy to filter and report on together. You add fleets under Organization > Fleet Setup.
Steps
First, log into Data Tools. The yellow numbers on the screenshot match the steps.
| 1 | Click the Organization tab at the top. |
| 2 | Click Fleet Setup in the bar that appears below it. |
| 3 | Click Add Fleet. |
| 4 | Fill in the Fleet ID and Name (see the table below). |
| 5 | Click the Add New Fleet button below the fields you filled in. |
| Field | What to enter | Example |
| Fleet ID | A short code, 4 characters max (letters and/or numbers). | 0025 |
| Name | A longer description of the fleet. | 2025 Gillig Diesel Hybrid |
Tip: Tie the Fleet ID to something easy to remember, like the model year or the vehicle number series (for example, 0025 for 2025 buses). That makes fleets easy to spot in drop-downs and reports.
Next: Assign Vehicles to the Fleet
A new fleet starts empty. To move vehicles into it, set the Fleet on each vehicle’s record. To move many vehicles at once, use Utilities > Vehicle Utilities > Vehicle Options Utility: select the vehicles, choose the new Fleet on the right and click Set Values. This works the same way as changing divisions.
