Basics

Why do I use the Reportcenter?

With the Reportcenter is it possible to create or scedule evaluations for any number of detection devices. Our flexible sceduling allows you to automate the generation of reports on specific recurring events (eg daily, weekly, specific day of the month, ...). You will be informed automatically about the provision of the final reports by e-mail or portalmessage.

Which reports will be supported

We support the following reports:

Report execution types

A report darft can be executed once time, serie or as quicklink

Once

A onnce report covers a fixed period (from–to) with fixed vehicles/persons/objects and additional custom report parameters. If processing takes longer, you can receive a notification via the portal or by email, allowing you to continue working.

Serie

Unlike a once report, a scheduled report lets you define the interval at which it is executed automatically. Accordingly, the reporting period is not specified as fixed dates; it is defined relative to the execution time. A scheduled report runs automatically on a daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly basis. Upon completion, a notification is sent via the portal or by email.

Quicklink

A Quicklink report is used to prefill some report parameters, but it does not require all of them. After creation, the Quicklink report cannot yet be executed via the Reports Center; instead, it appears in the Quicklink bar on the left side of the screen. By opening the Quicklink report from the Quicklink bar, the report can then be triggered once all required parameters have been set.

The advantage of a Quicklink report is its dynamic configuration at execution time. This allows even irregularly recurring tasks to be largely predefined and helps speed up the workflow.

When creating the report, you can omit the time range or the vehicles/persons. In that case, the missing data will be requested at execution time, without requiring you to re-enter the other options. Similar to a recurring report, the evaluation period is specified not as fixed dates but as a time span relative to the execution time (e.g., last 7 days).

In contrast to other execution types, the Quicklink is limited in complexity. The threshold is the same level of complexity at which a one-off report would trigger a notification.

A new Quicklink is always appended to the end of the Quicklink list. You can adjust the list order under QuickLinks.

Components of the Reportcenter

The overview page

Reports

The report page is used to display the finished reports. This means that the reports indicated there may be opened or downloaded directly. It is also possible to change the output format and the report itself depending on the type of report type. The advantage is the significantly faster computation in contrast to the complete execution of another report. If you handle a more extensive report, the gain of time will be greater.
 Additionaly you can delete individual reports.

Drafts

Here, the respective draft are listed separately by type of execution. The drafts can be run, edit, or delete. Deleting a template also leads to the deletion of all the reports that have been compiled on the basis of this draft.

Renderes series

Similar to the report page here already fully calculated series reports are displayed. In addition is the deletion of the series reports possible.

In run

This component is used to display all own reports, which are currently being calculated. It does not matter whether it is a once, series or Quicklink report.

Settings

In the settings menu you can make general and reporting across settings.

Report - basic settings

Create a request-point how handle drives with an distance of 0km

If you enable this option, you always will see an further option while you create a report, which is possible to hide or display drives with a distance of 0km. The following reports support this modus:

Contact administration

Here you can store the recipients of reports. To do this insert the firstname, surename and e-mail address of the recipient. The contacts are selectable by creating a scedule report and by executing a complexe report with notification.

Function

Create report draft

Basicly you have two options to create a report:

With the simplified reporting, you can create once reports in HTML-format only by specifying an evaluation period and the selection of a vehicle. Example: You go to the simplified reporting for the dayreport directly in the menu under reports->daily usage report. Other reports can be created this way. These reports are only visible for you.
With the complex reporting you will be provided to create Once, Series and Quicklink reports. You have more options to influence the reporting compared to simplified reporting. You can select, for example, in the complex reporting multiple vehicles or persons for one report. Among others, you can also configure the output format and telemetry. Additionaly you specify here whether the report should be visible and practicable only for yourself or company-wide. A company-wide released report can be viewed by any employee, re-executed, edited and deleted.
 With once reports that due to their complexity (too many vehicles or large period of time) can not be calculated in a reasonable time from the Reportcenter, you are prompted for an alert (email, portalmessage) input. At completion of the commissioned report, you will be informed of the previously definerten news channel. Thus you do not interrupt your work flow for complex reports and can continue to work while the report is created in background for you. Example: You enter the complex reporting directly from the menu under reports->reportcenter->new report. Alternatively, you can also open the inputmask from the reports->reportcenter->overview. In the overview you press on the "create new draft" button to enter the complex reporting inputmask.

Edit report draft

It is possible to edit drafts. You find the edit button in the "action"-column at the end of each listed draft.

Execute report draft

You can execute a report draft again. Behind each report draft in the draft list, see the "Action" column, a button which you can execute the draft again. When running a report draft for a once report, you can find the finished report in the report summary. If you execute a serie, it will be also calculated and you will be informed about the delivery channel, which was defined in the report draft. If instead execute Quicklink drafts, the Quicklink report is immediately calculated and displayed.

FAQ

Question: Why no reports displayed older than 7 days in the overview?
Answer: Reports that are older than 7 days will be automatically deleted from the reportcenter. Please save reports for permanent archiving onto your PC.
