Location - it's hard being easy
The developers have been very busy over the last couple of months giving the location screen a total overhaul. Our goal is to make Clever Logger the easiest to use temperature logging system available, as well as offering a powerful range of options for advanced users. We are totally stoked with this month’s release and hope you will be too.
We are covering new and existing functionality because this is a great opportunity to work out how to get the most out of the location screen.
Side menu

The new side menu on the location screen now makes it easier to jump into the critical information that you need to see.
It is now more obvious that there is a table view, and users can quickly view the settings (if they have the right role).
This post covers each of the screens in a bit more detail.
Graph
The graph is still the default view because it gives you an immediate visual overview of what has happened in the past week.
The “graph options” allows you to also select what is on the graph including:
- temperature
- humidity
- signal strength
There is a new “full screen” mode, which makes the graph much easier to view in the Clever Logger app, and makes the most of a 50″ monitor.
Zoom

The zoom feature allows you to instantly zoom in on something already in the graph. This is much faster than changing the date and time range.
To zoom in:
- Move the mouse to the start of what you want to zoom in on,
- Hold down the left mouse button,
- Drag it to the end of the period you want to zoom in on,
- Release the mouse button
To zoom back out, click the “reset zoom” button.
Graph controls
1. Presets
Choose from a range of common date ranges.
2. Custom date and time range
You can change the date range by entering a start and end date and time.
This is a great way to restrict the graph display to a specific incident.
3. Options
Some fine control options including displaying the signal strength of the connection between the logger and the gateway.
Table controls

Overview of alarms including what they are and what to do when an alarm occurs.
Settings
This is a big change that got the support team excited. Instead of having to click “next” through half a dozen screens to see a specific setting, you can see a summary and then jump straight to that setting.
The screen to edit each alarm has also been improved, with easier options and a more friendly design.

Advanced Settings
This section contains infrequently used options.
- Battery status is useful to know when your battery will need replacement.
- Change site is used to easily move a location from one site or organisation to another (e.g. if you’re moving a fridge from one department to another).
- Archive location is for when you no longer need to monitor something (e.g. you disposed of a vaccine fridge). The historical recordings will still be available, but it won’t appear by default.
- Device details lets you see the signal strength between this location and different gateways, and to swap the device that is linked to the location.
