# Differences from the Web Portal The FleetFusion Geotab Add-In and the standalone FleetFusion web portal share the same data and the same Organisation, but the add-in is deliberately scoped to the modules that fleet managers and workshop staff use most often inside MyGeotab. This article explains what is in the add-in, what is not, and how the two experiences differ visually. ## The same data, two front ends Anything you create or edit in the add-in is visible immediately in the FleetFusion web portal, and the other way round. There is no synchronisation delay and no separate database. That means you can: * Add a vehicle in the web portal and see it in the add-in's **Vehicle List** straight away. * Close a defect in the add-in and see the change reflected in the web portal's Work Queue. * Have some users on the web portal and others on the add-in without splitting your data. ## Modules included in the add-in The add-in exposes ten top-level areas, all reached from the **FleetFusion** menu in MyGeotab: * **Dashboard** * **Vehicles** * **Drivers** * **Maintenance** * **Media** * **Coaching** * **Documents** * **Work Queue** * **Workshop** * **Settings** These cover the day-to-day workflow for managing vehicles, drivers, walkaround checks, defects, service work, and core fleet configuration. ## Web-portal areas not in the add-in The following web-portal areas are not currently available inside the Geotab Add-In: * **Tracking** -- Live and historical vehicle tracking. Use MyGeotab's own tracking tools alongside the add-in. * **Tyres** -- Tyre management. * **Earned Recognition** -- DVSA Earned Recognition reporting. * **Geofences** -- Geofence configuration. * **POIs** -- Points of interest. * **Reports** -- The full reports library. * **Notifications** -- Notification configuration and history. * **Roles & Permissions admin** -- Role and permission management. * **Integrations marketplace** -- Browsing and connecting third-party integrations. * **Device Hub** -- Device pairing and configuration. * **AI Chat / InsightFusion** -- The conversational AI assistant. * **Depots top-level page** -- The web portal has a dedicated Depots page. In the add-in, depots are managed under **Settings > Fleet Config**. If you need any of these areas, sign in to the FleetFusion web portal in a separate browser tab. Your account works in both places. > **Note:** The list above reflects the current scope of the add-in. New modules are added over time, so an area listed here may move into the add-in in a future release. ## Layout differences The add-in is rendered inside a MyGeotab iframe, so the available width is narrower than the standalone web portal. Two practical consequences follow. ### Lists may show fewer columns by default To keep list pages readable inside the iframe, default column sets in the add-in are leaner. If you need a column that is not visible: 1. Open the list page (for example, **Vehicle List**). 2. Click the gear icon to open the **column-visibility picker**. 3. Select the columns you want to add. The add-in remembers your column selection for next time. ### Detail views Smaller detail records, such as documents or service tasks, open as a slide-in panel from the right of the list. Larger detail views, specifically **Vehicle Detail** and **Driver Detail** -- open as a full overlay that covers the list. This mirrors the web portal but uses the available iframe width fully. > **Tip:** If you find yourself needing a much wider view, for example, when comparing many columns side by side, open the same record in the FleetFusion web portal. The data is identical. ## Sign-in differences The add-in signs you in automatically using your MyGeotab session, so there is no separate FleetFusion login. The web portal uses standard FleetFusion credentials. See [How Authentication Works](/geotab-add-in/reference/how-authentication-works.md) for the full handshake. ## Choosing which to use A practical rule of thumb: * If you spend most of your day in MyGeotab and need fleet, maintenance, and compliance management alongside it, use the **add-in**. * If you need a wider workspace, Tracking, Reports, AI Chat, Roles & Permissions, or any of the other web-portal-only areas, use the **web portal**. You can use both at the same time. The data stays in sync. ## Related articles * [What Is the FleetFusion Geotab Add-In?](/geotab-add-in/getting-started/what-is-the-geotab-addin.md) * [Navigating the Add-In](/geotab-add-in/getting-started/navigating-the-addin.md) * [How Authentication Works](/geotab-add-in/reference/how-authentication-works.md) * [Vehicle List](/geotab-add-in/vehicles/vehicles/vehicle-list.md) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.fleetfusion.ai/geotab-add-in/reference/differences-from-web-portal.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
