# Tracking

Eliona offers comprehensive tracking functionality that enables the localization and tracking of assets in real time. This functionality is supported by the integration of Localino, an indoor localization system, and the use of a tracking widget. The following sections summarize the key functions and configurations required to use these capabilities.

***

## **Activating the Tracker Function**

To register an asset as a tracker in the system and connect it to a Localino tracker, you must activate the tracker option in asset modeling. This is done by configuring an asset template.

* **Step 1: Open template configuration**\
  Go to *Engineering -> Asset Modeling* and select the desired asset template. Edit the template settings to activate the tracker option.
* **Step 2: Activate tracker option**\
  Activate the tracker option to register the asset as a tracker in the system. Detailed steps can be found on the page [Activate tracker function](https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/english-v14/assets/asset-modeling-create-templates/create-a-new-template#tracker-funktion-aktivieren).

## Attach tracker to an asset

The function **"Attach tracker to an asset"** gives you the ability to map the physical position of an asset precisely and automatically in the geographical asset structure. Once a tracker is attached to an asset, it is marked in the structure with a blue dot ![](https://content.gitbook.com/content/Nyvwhz1kEMXcHf4HLuZ8/blobs/uOPLMIfxQLCfSF7Sge2U/image.png)which makes it immediately recognizable as a tracked asset.

### Assigning a tracker

In the [asset details ](https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/english-v14/documentation/assets/asset-details)you will find the option **"Tracker" \[A]**, which can be used to assign a tracker to an asset. After assignment, the asset is automatically displayed under the parent asset in the geographical structure, based on its actual physical position.

### Dynamic position adjustment

An important aspect of this function is that the position of the tracked asset cannot be changed manually in the geographical structure. Instead, the position of the asset adjusts automatically depending on where it is physically located. This dynamic adjustment ensures that the asset is always shown at its **current**, **real position in the structure** .

## **Localino Integration**

Localino enables real-time tracking of assets on a floor plan. The implementation of the Localino data is carried out at database level and is performed by the Eliona support team.

* **Configuration of the Localino system**\
  Once the Localino service has been configured, all devices can be linked with assets in your Eliona system and then used in the project. Further information can be found under [Localino Configuration](https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/english-v14/apps/apps/localino).

## **Configuration of Localino anchors**

The exact positioning of the Localino anchors is crucial for the correct functioning of the tracking system. Anchors can be adjusted afterwards to ensure that their position matches physical reality.

* **Calibrating and positioning anchors**\
  Calibration and positioning of the anchors is done via the floor configuration. You can find detailed instructions under [Configure Localino anchors](https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/english-v14/documentation/map-and-floor/floor/configure-localino-anchor).

***

## **Create and manage rooms**

The precise localization of trackers in individual rooms is made possible by configuring rooms within the floors.

* **Create and assign room assets**\
  Create a room asset and assign it to a floor. Then define the room on the map. Detailed steps can be found under [Set up rooms](https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/english-v14/documentation/map-and-floor/floor/create-rooms).

***

## **Using the Tracking Widget**

The tracking widget enables the visualization of tracker positions on the dashboard. It offers functions such as zooming in and out of the floor view, selecting a floor, and searching for and tracking trackers.

* **Widget Configuration**\
  To configure the tracking widget, add it to the dashboard, select the desired floor, and configure the display options. You can find a detailed guide on the page [Configure tracking widget](https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/english-v14/documentation/widgets/predefined-widgets/asset-tracking).
