Creating an analytics item
Who can do it: Service provider
Where: Wialon Platform Studio
On the Analytics tab, you can configure custom analytics items for your customers. Analytics items define what data is included in a custom report, how it is structured, and what summary metrics are shown.
The analytics builder is organized into two steps and includes a preview panel.
Step 1: Select dataset
-
On the Analytics page in Wialon Platform Studio, click New analytics item.
-
Enter a name in the Name field. This field is mandatory. Customer users can find the custom report in Wialon Platform FleetSpace using this name.
-
In the Step 1: Select dataset section, open the Dataset dropdown and select the data type to analyze.
The following datasets are available:
- Idling: Data about device idling events.
- Parking: Data about parking events.
- Trips: Data about trip events.
-
Choose the metrics you want to include as report columns by clicking on the chips. Selected metrics are highlighted.
The available metrics depend on the selected dataset:
| Dataset | Available metrics |
|---|---|
| Idling | Idling address, Idling start, Idling end, Device, Driver(s), Idling duration |
| Parking | Parking address, Parking start, Parking end, Device, Driver(s), Parking duration |
| Trips | Mileage, Average Speed, Start Address, End Address, Device, Driver(s), Trip duration, Max Speed, Trip started at, Trip ended at |
Changing the dataset after selecting metrics cancels your column configuration. Confirm resetting the configuration before applying the change.
Step 2: Configure data display
After selecting metrics, expand the Step 2: Configure data display section to configure grouping, column order, and summary metrics.
Grouping
Use the Grouped by dropdown to select how the report data is grouped:
- None: Data is displayed as a list without grouping.
- Driver: Data is grouped by driver.
- Device: Data is grouped by device.
The available grouping options depend on the selected dataset and metrics.
Summary row
The summary row displays aggregated values at the top of the report. To configure it:
-
Click Configure summary.
-
In the panel that opens, select the summary metrics you want to include.
Each metric is available in two aggregation types:
- Total: The sum of all values in the column.
- Average: The average of all values in the column.
Use the search field at the top of the panel to find specific metrics. The counter shows how many metrics are currently selected.
-
Click Apply to save your selections.
Only columns that support aggregation are available for the summary row. You can include both Total and Average for the same column.
Previewing the item
The Preview panel shows the report structure with sample data.
Use the icon 
in the top-right corner of the preview panel to view it in full screen.
