Time
The time of completion/start/end of any state is displayed in the reports in the format specified in the General section of a report template.
In the tables that include the duration of a state, the hours may not be combined into days (if the interval is longer than 24 hours). It means that instead of 5 days 12:34:56 it is displayed as 132:34:56. To disable days and leave only hours, select the hours:minutes:seconds duration format in the table properties of the report template. This option does not only affect the formatting in the cells, but also the row Total. Moreover, the duration may be shown in the format of hours (with two decimal places). For instance, 3.45 instead of 3:27. This is done by means of activating the hours (with two decimal places) option.
If grouping is used, a table receives additional column (Grouping) which displays the time in the following way:
- grouping by years shows corresponding years (for example, 2015);
- grouping by months shows the names of the months (for example, August);
- grouping by weeks shows the number of the week in a year (for example, week 10; note that the first week is considered to be the first full week in a year.)
- grouping by day of the week shows the corresponding day (for example, Friday);
- grouping by day of the month shows the corresponding day (from day 1 to day 31);
- grouping by dates shows the corresponding date in the format selected in the advanced settings of the report template;
- grouping by shifts shows the corresponding shift (for example, shift 1).
To receive reliable data for time/duration, it is important to correctly indicate the Time zone and DST options in the user settings.
Unit location
The information about the unit location is displayed in the Location and Coordinates table columns. If there is no data about the unit location at the moment of a certain event or at the beginning or end of a certain state, the report displays the last known location within the indicated interval.
Mileage
Mileage can appear in the Geofences table and in statistics.
Mileage is calculated according to settings of mileage counter on the General tab of the unit properties. Besides, mileage can also depend on the trip detector because the intervals of movement and parkings are detected by it.
Mileage can be ordinary or adjusted. The adjusted mileage may be useful to coordinate the mileage detected by the program and mileage detected by the vehicle itself. The correction coefficient is set in the unit properties on the Advanced tab.
In the statistics and the Geofences table, you can find many possibilities for mileage described below.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Mileage in all messages | The full mileage without any filtration by the trip detector. It is always the longest mileage because it also includes all adjustment of data. |
| Mileage (adjusted) | The mileage in trips multiplied by the correction coefficient. |
| Initial mileage | The mileage sensor value at the beginning of the interval (trip, street visit, sensor operation, etc.). |
| Final mileage | The mileage sensor value at the end of the interval. |
| Off-mileage | The mileage travelled from leaving to entering one and the same geofence. |
| Off-mileage (adjusted) | The mileage travelled from leaving to entering one and the same geofence considering the coefficient. |
Mileage can be calculated either by all messages or by messages in trips. Choice of the method of calculation is defined by the Mileage from trips only option in the General section of the Report template dialog.
If less than 20 (miles or kilometers), the mileage is displayed with accuracy to hundredths (other decimal places are simply cut). Measurement units for speed and mileage (kilometers and kilometers per hour or miles and miles per hour) are selected in the general settings of the Report template dialog. There you can also set the Mileage/Fuel/Counters with accuracy to two decimal places option to always see the mileage with the hundredths.
Speed
The average and maximum speed values can be included in the same reports as the mileage. Note that the average speed directly depends on the mileage because it is calculated by dividing mileage by duration (for example, distance travelled with a sensor on divided by the duration of an on the state. That is why a situation can happen when the average speed is zero and the maximum speed is a positive number. It can happen (1) if the duration of a state is zero (see explanation above); (2) if the mileage is zero (the unit was parked or the mileage counter is set incorrectly); (3) if the mileage is insignificant, for example, 0,01, and the result of the division is smaller than 1. Note that mileage can be calculated either by all messages or by trips only (the option in the settings of a report), and this obviously affects the resulting values of the average speed.
The Maximum speed has nothing to do with the mileage and any counters. To calculate the maximum speed within an interval, all messages which get to this interval are analyzed and the largest speed value is selected and displayed in the corresponding cell.
The speed is given only in integer numbers.
