Mobile Data Terminals
This training covers our current user interface for our mobile data terminal (MDT) devices. This session will be a general, broad overview of the MDT's functionality. Logging in, logging out, syncing, choosing routes, and inspections will be some of what we cover during this webinar. Questions, comments, and thoughts are welcome.
Inspection Form Setup
This webinar covers how to develop an electronic inspection form such as a pre-trip or post-trip inspection and how to publish the form to the MDTs. Additionally, we will review the inspection reports and the Work Orders screen, which is targeted for mechanics.
Navigation
This webinar covers Navigation on the MDTs and the Navigation tool within the K-12 application, which enables users to review turn-by-turn directions prior to the bus driver driving the route.

Legacy Fleet Software (Silverlining) and Legacy MDT User Interface
We no longer offer live webinars for our legacy fleet-tracking software (Silverlining) or for our older MDT user interface. The following are links to previously recorded webinars:
- Legacy Core AVL: Covers vehicle tracking, both live and historical. The webinar includes finding locations on the map, managing screens, and the search function. This session also addresses the creation of reports and zones (geofences), use of the Hardware screen to verify the hardware-vehicle association, and setting the My KPIs screen of the Dashboard. This session is designed for the general user of our legacy software (our prior version of Synovia's site, Silverlining).
- Legacy Comparative Analysis: Covers the comparison between planned routes and the actual operation of your vehicles. Many tools and monitors are discussed, such as those that watch the vehicles live as they progress through the assigned routes, including the School Monitor, Route Monitor, and Planned vs. Actual by Stop screen. The generation of related reports is also addressed in this webinar. This is for users of our legacy software (our prior version of Synovia's site, Silverlining).
- Legacy System Administration: Describes configuration issues in the application. Covers the association of vehicles to GPS/AVL hardware inventory in detail, along with organizing the vehicle inventory into fleets. User management, privileges, roles, and groups are part of this webinar to give you a thorough understanding of the functionality and to help you be self-sufficient regarding user access to data. Zone (geofence) and alert management is also part of this session. This training is designed for Administrator users of our legacy software (our prior version of Synovia's site, Silverlining).
- Legacy MDT User Interface: Explains the operating system prior to v2018.08 of our mobile data terminal devices (both All-in-Ones and tethered MDTs). This session will be a general, broad overview of the MDT's functionality. Logging in, logging out, syncing, choosing routes, and inspections will be some of what we cover during this webinar.
