Reporting Module
This is a short explanation on the Reports we offer and in particular the concept of Base Reports and Report Templates.
Base Reports
Offers a flexible layout regarding the position and choice of columns
Grouping and/or sorting of results up to three levels. Top level can be divided into different tabs (Excel) or pages (pdf)
Special features like row numbering, dynamic coloring of text and/or background can be added
Trip Base Reports
Focus on presenting trips and drivers and all details of a trip
Grouping and sorting is usually done on Asset Groups, Drivers or Time periods
Fleet Base Report
Focus on calculating usage statistics over a group of Assets over a certain period of time
Min/Max/Avg and Totals can be calculated on various items
Main columns are Asset and Driver details and statistics about Distance Travelled, Hours of operation and some of the ‘Abuse’ aspects like Idling, Accel/Deceleration
Main rows displayed are usually aggregated data over a day for an asset or a driver
Abuse Base Reports
Focus on abusive use of an Asset (although some statistics are not abuse but intended use like a door open/close period, or a PTO period
The data for this report is retrieved from ‘Episodes’ which are basically periods of time a certain event has happened. Event can be speed, idling, PTO, door contact, RPM, Accel/Decel, and all other events that can be triggered from devices that are added on the input/auxiliary ports of a device
There is some overlap between data that can be retrieved by an Abuse Base Report and a Fleet Base Report. But in either case the numbers should be equal
Utilization Base Report
These reports are specifically made for clients that use work schedules.
The report shows basis statistics like the Fleet Base Report shows but it can divide these numbers between the ones that are recorded outside or inside the specific work schedule
Utilization data can be aggregated over time, by driver or by asset
Localization Base Report
These reports show all details of a list of locations.
As this report takes data directly from the locations stored in the database it can only be used for recent locations, because we remove locations from the database after 3 months.
We do not encourage the use of these reports because they can be quite heavy when a broad selection is being made
Report Templates
We do not recommend to use the base reports for creating a reports subscription for a client but to start with one of the provided report templates. These templates already select the correct options and columns for the required report for a client.
The following diagram shows the template report names and on which base report they are based. A client can also create their own templates by either starting from a base report or from a template and then set their own preferences and save the new template with the name of their choice.
