Tracking Options Overview
-
Unit/Department Selection – The Unit/Department Section defines which unit or department you wish to generate a report on. You can choose to create a report based on a specific unit, department, or all units available.
-
Timeframe – Under the timeframe, specify the start time and end time for the report via the calendars.
-
Enable Circle and Polygon Proximity filtering – Should you want to specify an area for the report, you can do so in the Proximity section.
You can select either a saved proximity, or use the On The Fly proximity. If you use on the fly proximity you must select the circle or polygon option.
For circle, click on the map where you want the centre to be, drag outwards and let go of the mouse button once you are satisfied.
For polygon, click to specify each of the corners, and then double click to complete the polygon.
If you want to save the proximity for future use, you can click save, and a new window will open where you can specify a name for your proximity and click save.
-
Enable Speed Based Filtering – Select whether units are going greater or less than the entered speed, and then enter the speed threshold in the textbox.
Enable Emergency Based Filtering – Select if you only want to see units that triggered an emergency.
-
Render Report – Once you are happy with the report settings you can click the green RENDER REPORT button. A blue bar will appear as the report is being generated. Once complete the bar will disappear and the left-hand report details will be populated.
This section will go over what tracking options are available when creating a report. An overview will be provided for each option.
