Synovia comes with two default seasons: SpringSummerFall and Winter. Certain data in Synovia depends on these seasons, 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.
If you find that you need a different season for your organization's purposes, you can add a new one as follows:
Note: Before you add a new season, make sure that its start and end weeks won't overlap with another season's. Modify the other season's week values first if necessary. (See Editing a Season for details.)
