Assets: Asset History

The Asset History report provides the known history of a selected asset over a specific time range. Assets are plotted on a map and move over time. Assets can be transferred from one gateway to another and this is reflected on the map. This report is best used to track the performance of a single asset over a period of time and across one or more vehicles.

The length of time an asset is in a stationery position (stopped) is represented visually using small, medium and large circles , corresponding to the small, medium and long idle times entered. To prevent false alarms, it is recommended that the time an asset is away from a vehicle before being marked missing is set to at least 10 minutes. However, this will delay email alerts for assets that are left behind.
