Advanced Settings

The right part of the Reports Template dialog contains advanced settings. They are divided into four sections:

Depending on template type, all or just several of these sections can be displayed.

Options


The Multiple drivers/trailers option makes sense if a table added to the report template contains such columns as Driver or Trailer. If the box is not checked, then, regardless of the number of drivers/trailers appointed to a unit for the particular interval (trip, parking, etc.), only the first one will be shown in the table. If the box is checked, then all the drivers/trailers appointed to a unit for the particular interval are shown in the table.

The Mileage/fuel/counters with accuracy to two decimal places option allows you to always see all the mileage, fuel and sensor values ​​to within two decimal places. If the option is not activated, the default settings are used: mileage is less than 20 and fuel less than 50 is output to the nearest hundredth, and the values ​​above are indicated in whole numbers; any values ​​of the sensor counters — only integers.

 If you see 0.00 in a cell, it means the initial value had thousands or even smaller fractions, which can be seen if you export report to XML, CSV or Excel.

The Exclude thefts from fuel consumption option can be useful if you want to ignore thefts when calculating fuel consumption in different tables and statistics. By default, however, thefts are considered part of fuel consumption. That is, if the option is enabled, columns like Consumed by FLS and Average consumption by FLS are calculated without considering fuel thefts.

Mileage from trips only affects mileage calculation. If the checkbox is not marked, the mileage is calculated according to all messages without any filtering. If the checkbox is marked, only the part of the mileage that is considered a trip is taken into account.

The Consider track-geofence intersections option allows to detect a visit to the geofence in case the trip had an intersection with the geofence by any segment of its track. This option can be applied for such reports as Geofences, and Rides.

The Connection loss based on GPS data option can be applied to the Connection problems and Chronology tables, as well as to charts when selecting the background for connection loss. If the checkbox is marked, time intervals with no messages from units or messages without coordinates will be shown in the corresponding reports or in charts. If no checkbox is marked, you can see only time intervals without messages.

The Persian calendar option makes it possible to use the Persian solar calendar in the resulting report for the fields with the indicated date.

The Date and time format option allows you to select a convenient format for displaying the date and time. Initially, the date and time mask parameters are taken from the User Settings dialog. however, they can be changed at your discretion.

The Measurement system option defines the metrics for such parameters as mileage, speed, fuel, and temperature in reports.


 Note.
Depending on the measurement system selected in a report template for which the intervals filtration has been applied, you should remember that the values of filtration parameters will not be converted into the corresponding values ​​of another measure system. Nonetheless, the metrics will be changed to the corresponding metrics of the selected system. For example, if you have 50 kilometers mileage and 100 kilometers per hour speed, after choosing the US measurement system, you will receive 50 miles mileage and 100 miles per hour speed.

The Skip empty rows option is used for group reports. It allows to withdraw uninformative rows from the resulting table. For example, you create a report about fuel thefts, but not every unit in the selected group has thefts. As a result, there can be a lot of empty rows in the table.

Address

Here you choose how address information is presented in the resulting report. Address information can be displayed in many reports: initial/final location in trip, place of fuel filling or theft, location where the unit parked or had speeding, location where connection was lost, message received, event registered, etc.

The source of the address information can be the map of WebGIS Maps or the geofences created in the corresponding panel.

Addresses from Map

Specify the format for displaying the address information. To do this, select which elements of the address should be displayed (country, region, city, street, and house are available), and arrange them in the preferred order, dragging up and down using the arrows. If none of the five items is selected, the coordinates are displayed.

This format is especially relevant if the units are moving around the city. For addresses outside the city (near roads), the following two settings are important:

  • Max distance from unit says that if a unit is near a road and there is a city (i.e., city, town, village) within the indicated distance, then in the address you will have the road's name and distance to the city.
  • Min radius says that if no city has been found within the maximum distance from a unit (the previous option), the address is bound to another city. The radius of the city that can get into the address information can be specified in this parameter. It can be used to exclude small cities from addresses.

 Note.
Addresses for reports can be taken only from WebGIS Maps (not Google, Yandex, or other services). If you find inaccurate address information in the reports, you can update the map of your region/city. To do this, send a new map of your region in the proper format to the technical support.

Addresses from Geofences

Sometimes WebGIS Maps may not contain exact addresses in certain regions. In such cases, you can use geofences as addresses. Besides, you can specify your own names for certain addresses.

If the Use geofences for addresses option is activated, additional parameters become available. In particular, you can choose to display geofence's description alongside with its name (the Add geofence description to address option).

The range of geofences used as addresses is adjustable. By default, all geofences that belong to the same resource as the reports template are used. However, geofences from all available resources can be used if necessary. Alternatively, to narrow this range, you can specify a particular group of geofences to be used (it should be created in the same resource as the report template itself). Select the option in the Specify geofences dropdown list (groups of geofences are in square brackets).

If the geofences are selected as addresses, but the location of the unit is not found, the address information from the map is taken, and it is formatted according to the parameters specified above. When two geofences are superimposed on each other, a smaller area will be chosen for the address.

Shifts

If the option is enabled, the information in the report will be structured according to the shifts you specify. For example, a transport company has a vehicle and two drivers. According to calculations, the profit from the vehicle usage comes only if it is used in two shifts: from 9 a.m. till 7 p.m., and from 9 p.m. till 7 a.m. Assume that we are interested in the report on trips during these shifts and information about what happened during the rest of the time is not important. So, it is necessary to adjust shifts correspondingly, and mark the checkboxes in order for this setting to be used. Moreover, for this particular situation it is necessary to apply grouping by shifts and use intervals retrieving.

If you need the events that occurred in a shift, that finishes in a new day, to be attributed by the system to the previous day (that is to the day of its beginning), enable the Do not split overnight shifts option.
