1. A method of enabling users to customize a vehicle management system, the method comprising:
by a computer system comprising computer hardware:
outputting a custom report creation user interface for presentation to a user, the custom report creation user interface comprising one or more user interface controls configured to enable a user to create a custom report;downloading, from a vehicle management system, a data set related to a vehicle fleet to the computer system;receiving a user selection of fields in the data set for inclusion in a custom report template;receiving a user selection of layout details with respect to the selected fields, the selected layout details comprising information for organizing a layout of the selected fields in the custom report template;outputting a custom alert user interface for presentation to the user, the custom alert user interface configured to enable the user to define a custom alert including conditional logic on a plurality of vehicle parameters obtained from telematics data so that satisfaction of the conditional logic results in an alert message being automatically generated and sent by the vehicle management system to at least one in-vehicle device associated with at least one vehicle of the vehicle fleet for presentation to a vehicle driver;receiving a user selection of the plurality of vehicle parameters and a user input of the conditional logic, the selected plurality of vehicle parameters comprising a vehicle diagnostic trouble code and a vehicle location, the input conditional logic indicating to alert when both the vehicle diagnostic trouble code is triggered and the vehicle location is greater than a threshold distance from a site location; anduploading the custom report template and the custom alert to the vehicle management system thereby enabling the custom report template to be used by the vehicle management system to run the custom report and the custom alert to be used by the vehicle management system to determine to automatically generate the alert message and send the alert message to a first in-vehicle device associated with a first vehicle of the vehicle fleet when both the vehicle diagnostic trouble code is triggered by the first vehicle and the vehicle location of the first vehicle is greater than the threshold distance from the site location, the custom report template comprising the selected fields of the data set and the selected layout details, the custom alert comprising the selected plurality of vehicle parameters and the input conditional logic.
