How to run a report on idling events in Locate.
Idling is classified as ignition on but the vehicle not moving (speed of vehicle is zero). An Idling Report shows the location and duration of all idling.
Note: If you require more detailed information about how to run the report, see How do I create a report?.
- Select the Vehicle(s).
- Select ‘Idling’ from the Reports drop-down.
- Select the date.
- Click on the View Report.
The idling duration for the fleet (or selected group of vehicles) is in the pink row.
The standard information contained in this report covers the following for each day during the selected period:
- Idling Start: The time (in hours & minutes) the vehicle stopped with engine on
- Location: Where the idling event occurred
- Idling Stop: The time (in hours & minutes) the vehicle starting moving
- Idling Duration: Length of time (in hours & minutes) the vehicle stopped with engine on
- Event: Engine on, speed zero
- Map: View the location of the idling on the map
- Street View: View the location of the idling in Street View
In addition, the Idling Report can be filtered to only display idling events greater or lesser than a certain length of time in minutes. The default is greater than 1 minute.
- Click on the down arrow and select either > (greater than) or < (less than).
- Type the number of minutes in the text box.
- Click on the green refresh icon.
The table will be refreshed with the filtered data.
To export the data as .csv or .xls format, click on the Export icon above the far right column. For more information, see How do I export a report?
