Operational summary
From the fleet menu you can open your profile, experience settings (map theme, UI preferences), and the team view when your role allows.
Node display aliases help recognize units by friendly names on the map and panels—managed via hardware or alias admin flows depending on deployment.
Deep dive
Every organization has three admin areas in the Sentinel fleet hub: the logged-in user's personal profile, experience settings (UI preferences, map theme), and the team view, accessible if the role allows. All three open from the fleet menu as side panels, without leaving the main map.
The personal profile includes basic user data and, importantly, hardware shipping data if your organization ordered or plans to order physical nodes. Keeping that data up to date avoids shipment delays and billing errors. The section includes country and region with autocomplete, separated from the exact postal address for internal commercial analytics.
Team admin lets you add operators and other administrators. Each operator gets credentials they use to sign in to the mobile app and from where their identity appears in fleet chat. Role assignment is simple: anyone who needs to see and configure the entire organization is an admin; anyone who only operates in the field from the app is an operator. Operators don't access the web panel.
Display aliases are more strategic than they appear. By default a node shows up with its hex ID (e.g. 'a1b2c3d4'), which nobody in operations remembers. Assigning aliases like 'North Patrol' or 'Mobile 12' transforms every place the node appears: map, chat, log, exports. It's one of those details that multiplies dashboard usability without touching code.
