Unit history
The prerequisites for accessing the unit history are listed on the Monitoring page.
The History tab provides historical unit data, including trip details, parking intervals, fuel filling, consumption and drains, battery charges and consumption, and events registered after triggered notifications.
To access the unit history:
- Open the Monitoring tab in the navigation bar.
- Tap the required unit section.
- Select the History tab.
History tab overview
The History tab provides the following historical unit data for the selected day:
- Trips, parking intervals, and ignition intervals
- Fuel and battery data: fillings, drains, charges, and consumption
- Events registered by means of notifications
The full-day unit track is shown on the map automatically when you open the tab. For details on viewing and managing tracks, see the Unit track on the map section.
From the History tab, you can also access the unit menu by tapping the icon
.

You can adjust the History tab layout. Expand either the unit history or the map by dragging the history section up or down.
Data generation for the “History” tab
The application uses data obtained as a result of message processing in real-time.
The history shows data for the last 300 days.
The data on the tab is presented in chronological order and is formed on the basis of the messages received in the last 24 hours. The data is not formed on the basis of the messages generated more than 24 hours ago (after they are unloaded from the black box).
Day selection
By default, the data is displayed for the current day. You can get the data for another day in one of the ways described below.
- Select the required day in the calendar.
- Swipe down or up to add the previous or next day to the list. If necessary, repeat the action to add more days.
Summary information for the day
The top row shows summary information for the day. Tapping this row shows or hides the full-day track on the map.
The summary row includes the following data:
Trip duration
Track length in trips
Parking duration
Total fuel consumption in trips if there is a fuel level sensor
Average fuel consumption per 100 km or mi in trips if there is a fuel level sensor
Total battery consumption if there is a battery level sensor
Average battery consumption per 100 km or mi in trips if there is a battery level sensor
Particularities of the fuel and battery data calculation
- Fuel and battery data are calculated according to those sensors in the properties of which the Calculate data by the sensor option is enabled in the web version of Wialon. If the option is enabled in the properties of several sensors of one type, their readings are summed up.
- When a trip starts on one day and ends on the next, all the fuel consumed during such a trip is attributed proportionally to both the first and second day at the same time.
Particularities of mileage calculation
- When detecting trips, the Wialon mobile application uses the trip detection settings.
- When a trip starts on one day and ends on the next, its mileage is split into two parts. The first part is added to the summary total for the first day, and the second part is added to the summary total for the next day. This rule applies only to the daily summary (top row). See the Detailed data for the day section for how individual trip data is displayed.
The trip mileage on the History tab may differ from the mileage on the Tracks tab and the Wialon web version. This can occur due to the rounding of values in the mobile app and different data processing methods: for the History tab, data is processed in real time, while for the Tracks tab and most reports in the web version, messages from the database are used upon request. In case of such discrepancies, the value on the History tab is more accurate.
Detailed data for the day
Below is the information displayed for each type of data. To see the place that corresponds to them on the map, tap the required line in the list. The icon in the selected line is displayed in a contrasting color. For example, the icon of a fuel filling changes from
to
.
When a trip starts on one day and ends on the next, that trip row is displayed on both the first and second days. Its data, such as mileage, fuel, and duration, is not split and is shown in full. See the Summary information for a day section to learn how the summary total values are calculated in this case.

Fuel and battery consumption
The amount of fuel consumed during the trip is determined by the fuel level sensor (FLS); the amount of consumed energy, by the battery level sensor. If there are several sensors of one type, the sum of their values is displayed. The amount of fuel in the application may differ slightly from the resulting data in the reports executed in the web version of Wialon. This can be caused by the following reasons:

Unit track on the map
When you open the History tab or select a different day, the full-day track covering all trips is shown on the map automatically. To show or hide the full-day track, tap the summary row for the day.
To see the track for a specific trip, tap the trip row in the detailed data list.
To open the track on the Tracks tab for playback and viewing events, tap the icon
. The app navigates to the Tracks tab with the time period preselected: the full day if the summary row is selected, or the trip period if a specific trip is selected.
Registered events
The History tab can display all events registered by means of notifications with the Register event for unit action. To enable this, activate the Events from notifications in unit history switch in the Notifications section of the settings. You can create and configure such notifications only in the web version of Wialon. See more about the notification notification types.
