Certain data in Synovia depends on seasons you set up on the Seasons screen, such as the Idling value that sets off the Idle Alert event; often, customers allow vehicles longer to idle in their specified Winter season (so that they can warm up) and use a lower value in a SpringSummerFall season.


Note: If you plan to keep Synovia's default seasons (as recommended) of SpringSummerFall and Winter, you'll need to begin with setting the weeks they start and end in the calendar year. See Editing a Season for details.


This article describes the various features of the Seasons screen, which you access by clicking  >> Seasons.


Note: For information about the banner at the top and accordion menu on the left, see Navigating the Synovia Site.


These are the options along the top right of the screen:


  • : Begins the process of adding a new season. (See Adding a New Season for details.)
     
  • : Refreshes the data on the screen (which can be especially useful if other users are making changes).
     
  • : Deletes the selected season. (See Deleting a Season for details.)
     
  • : Saves the grid data as a PDF you can print.
     
  • : Exports the grid data to an Excel spreadsheet.


Here is an explanation of the grid icon and column headers:

 

  • : Opens the Edit Season screen, on which you can change the name, start week, and end week of the season. (See Editing a Season for details.)
     
  • Name: The name of the season.
     
  • Start Week: The week of the calendar year the season will begin.
     
  • End Week: The week of the calendar year the season will be over.
     
  • Last Modified By: The user who last made a change to the season's settings.
     
  • Last Modified Date: The date and time of that last change.
     

Along the bottom of the screen are icons that enable you to navigate through the pages of data, if necessary. See Paging Options for an explanation of these.
