How the report is calculated
Each change in digital sensor state is logged and displayed with its corresponding timestamp and duration.
Data Filters
- Time Limitation: Exclude specific periods. When enabled, this feature excludes specific timeframes from the report based on selected hours, weekdays, calendar days, and months.
- Define a time range (e.g., 09:00 to 16:00).
- Choose specific weekdays (e.g., Sunday).
- Include only certain days of the month, or use quick filters like Odd/Even.
- Select specific months of the year.
- Click on the Inverse button to treat the selected time ranges as excluded periods instead of included ones.
- Sensor State (ON / OFF)
- Driver
Users can:
Use Time Limitation to narrow report data to relevant operating hours or to exclude non-working periods.
- Duration Filters (Min/Max): Filter trips by duration
- Speed Limitation (Max): Focus on risky trips.
- Trailer
3. Digital Sensor Period
