Tracker: Zone Times

The Zone Times report provides a time-based, visual representation of the zones visited by a gateway. The report is best used for a single gateway over a short period of time (one day is optimum) or as an in-depth view to the Zone Summary report. It is useful for fleet managers who assign gateways to zones to monitor utilization.

Basic Configuration Fields

• Gateway(s)^*: by default this is set to the gateway(s) selected in the gateway tree. Enter the name(s) manually to modify this field. Click on Filter to open the subfilter options.
• Report time range^*: use the drop-down menu to select from Previous Months, Previous Weeks, Previous Days or Range. Enter the numeric value in the field. When Range is selected, use the calendar pop-up to select the dates. Alternatively, enter the date and time manually (yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm).
• Output Format: specifies HTML to generate the report in the browser window.
• Save for later or schedule a run time: enable to create reports that can be saved for future use. See Saving and Scheduling a Report for a Later Run Time for more information.

Advanced Configuration Fields

• Hours per bar: defines how many hours are represented by each row in the graph, which effectively controls the “resolution” of the graph. To ensure performance when generating the report, the value must be set appropriately based on the Report Type Range as follows:

  • Greater than 30 days: set from 24 through 1000
  • Greater than 7 days: set from 12 through 1000
  • Greater than 1 day: set from 1 through 1000
  • One day or less: set from 0.5 to 1000. Note that values of less than 5 hours will set the graph units to be in minutes.

  The default is auto which automatically selects the best value for the time range.

• Show detailed Info: when enabled, mouse-over tooltips and hyperlinks will be available in the graph area of the generated report. Disabled by default.

• Group all same event times: combines similar bars together into one bigger bar when Hours per bar is enabled.
