Create Custom Search Links in Asset Intelligence (Asset Locator)

When hyperlinking to Asset Intelligence from an external app, it can be helpful to direct users to a specific search or search result. This guide shows how to use URL query parameters to save common searches, share a specific lookup with a teammate, or embed a link in another tool that jumps straight to a filtered result set.

What are URL query parameters?

URL query parameters are a common way of applying search filters in your browser. In Asset Intelligence, they can be used to pre-populate the fields seen in the UI.

How to Build a Custom Link

Start with the base URL, add a ? after the final /, then add one or more key=value pairs separated by &. If a value has a space, replace it with %20 .

For example, a search for trailer number 211243 with an exact match would be constructed as follows:

https://assetlocator.genlogs.io/?trailer_number=211243&exact_match_trailer_number=true

How to link to a specific search result

Every image and record in Asset Intelligence has a unique ID. Open a record to view and copy these IDs:

Then, pass in the ID to either the corresponding Image ID or Record ID field in the UI or as a query parameter.

Searching for record 01f2ddf4cce173b3a836a99adcd0f57707f8f0c566d5a2aec083d39fbdedcf58 in the UI:

Searching for the same record via a query parameter:

https://assetlocator.genlogs.io/?image_unique_id=01f2ddf4cce173b3a836a99adcd0f57707f8f0c566d5a2aec083d39fbdedcf58

Other examples

A link to every record for a given USDOT, filtered to the last two years:

https://assetlocator.genlogs.io/?usdot_number=896143&start_date=2024-07-21T00:00&end_date=2026-07-21T23:59

A link for a specific trailer, exact match only, restricted to intermodal equipment:

https://assetlocator.genlogs.io/?trailer_number=TRAIL1&exact_match_trailer_number=true&equipment_type=Intermodal

A link scoped to a carrier logo and a state:

https://assetlocator.genlogs.io/?trailer_logo=Pepsi&location_state=TX

Notes

Hazmat filter are not supported with URL query parameters at this time
Unrecognized parameters are ignored; they do not break the rest of the search.
Parameters can be combined freely across the confirmed list above.
Some searches may not be visually apparent in the UI when applied as a query parameter. For instance, equipment_type=Intermodal does filter results, but the Equipment Type dropdown on the page does not visually show the value as selected when loaded from a URL.
If a saved link stops returning what's expected, check that the field names above still match, this list reflects the app's behavior as tested and could shift in a future release.
