Update Vehicle Card Settings in Data Tools 4

How Do I Update a Vehicle’s Card Number?
Each vehicle can have a card number, which is the number programmed into the card or key fob for that vehicle. At a fuel lane with a card reader, the RIH can authorize the vehicle from the card instead of a typed vehicle number. You set it in the Card field under the vehicle’s Properties > Vehicle Properties.
For card authorization to work, the RIH must have a card reader, and card input must be allowed for the vehicle number in the RIH Prompts setup. If you’re not sure your lanes are set up for cards, contact Fleetwatch Support. Don’t change Setup yourself.

Steps

First, log into Data Tools. The yellow numbers on the screenshot match the steps.

1 Click Vehicles in the left menu.
2 Type the vehicle number in the search bar at the top. Press Enter or click the magnifying glass.
3 Click Settings.
4 Click the PROPERTIES tab.
5 Under Vehicle, click Vehicle Properties. Check that the Vehicle Number shown is the right vehicle.
6 In Card, type the number programmed into the vehicle’s card or key fob. To change it, replace the old number. To remove it, delete the number so the field is blank.
7 Click Save at the top left. Save is grayed out until you change a field, then it turns dark and becomes clickable.
Vehicle Properties: 1 Vehicles, 2 vehicle search bar, 3 Settings, 4 Properties tab, 5 Vehicle Properties, 6 the Card field, 7 Save
✔ Check your work
Search for the vehicle again and reopen Properties > Vehicle Properties to confirm the card number saved. Then test the card at a fuel lane.

Tips

  • See all card numbers at once: click Vehicle List at the top of the Vehicles screen, then click the Card column header to sort by card number. You can’t edit in the list. Click a vehicle number to open it and make changes there.
  • Lost or replaced card? Enter the new card’s number and save. The old number no longer works for that vehicle.
  • Employee cards are separate. Employees have their own Card Number 1 and Card Number 2 fields under Employees > Settings > Properties > Information.
Card not working at the lane after updating it? Contact Fleetwatch Support.
