Location Reports

The devices enrolled through Scalefusion MDM are sometimes not located in one single place. However, there are mechanisms on the Scalefusion Dashboard through which the locations of devices and other related details can be identified. Location reports give an account of all location-related information tracked under the Scalefusion Dashboard in a systematic form.

This document gives a description of all location-related reports.

We have the following location reports:

1. Location
2. Geo-Fence Logs

Who can access

The reports are tied up to the plan that a customer purchases and hence divided into three categories:

1. Basic: All customers in the Pro and Business plans. New Users are allocated Basic during the trial period
2. Legacy: All customers in a non-enterprise plan
3. Advanced: All customers in the Enterprise plan

Location

Location Report is a collection of two reports:

These are explained in detail below:

   For iOS devices, Location reports are available only if the Scalefusion client is installed or when 'Lost Mode' is enabled on the device.

   
   

Distance Report

This report shows the distance traveled by a device during the selected timeframe, along with the total time it was in motion and details of pitstops. It mainly helps dispatchers and logistics industry admins to reconcile and track at what locations the device was not moving and for how long during the distance traveled.

Prerequisites for iOS

Please ensure the following settings are pre-configured on iOS devices:

1. Location permission should be set to Always allow
2. Precise location setting should be enabled (Settings > Scalefusion > Location permission > Toggle on Precise location)

Steps to access

1. Navigate to Reports & Workflows > Reports and click on Location
2. Select Filters

   Filter	Description
   Select Report	Select Distance Report for Android & iOS from the drop-down
   Select Group	Lists Groups and Sub-Groups created. Select a group/sub-group.
   Select Device	Lists all the enrolled devices. If a Group is selected, then it lists the devices which are part of that group. If not, select a device for which you want to see the report.
   Select Date	Select the Date Range for which you want to check the report.

   
3. After selecting filters, click on Show Report

Report Output

Based on selected filters, the following details will show up with respect to the distance traveled by the device:

1. Device: The name of the device
2. Distance: Total and average distance per day (in km) traveled by the device
3. Move Time: Out of the total distance traveled, the time duration for which the device was in motion and its average move time per day.
4. Pit Stops: Displays the number of times the device was not moving and the average pit stops per day.
5. Actions: The following actions can be performed on each device:
   1. Show map view: For a more granular view with information on pitstops, click on the location icon, which opens the map view where it shows the pitstop's details, distance traveled, and total move time.
      To know at what particular location it stopped, click on the latitude/longitude details, and the details can be seen on the map giving location, start time, end time, and more.

      
      
      
   2. Download: Clicking on the download icon downloads a report of the details of the distance traveled by the device in CSV format.
      If there are no pitstops, the download and download details will be disabled

      
      

Additional Features

1. Download: A report can be downloaded in CSV format from the Download as CSV button on the top right. You can download three types of Distance reports:
   
   1. Download Pitstop Summary: Downloads a summarized report of the device(s), mainly showing all the information that is displayed as report output on the dashboard.
   2. Download Pitstop Details: Gives a day-wise distance report of all devices. The following information is displayed:
      1. Device Name
      2. Date
      3. Start Time
      4. End Time (The end time is shown up to the Pitstop)
      5. Latitude
      6. Longitude

   3. Download Distance Summary: Gives summary of distance travelled, a day-wise break down of the distance travelled by all or selected devices/groups. It also shows Average Distance and Total Distance travelled (in kms.)
      
      The syncing with the Dashboard occurs only once at the end of the day (every 24 hours), based on the device's local time. Hence changes in distance travelled will be reflected on the next day.
      
      
2. Reset filters: The filters selected can be cleared and re-selected. The Reset button clears all filters.

   For Android, it is recommended to configure the following settings on the Scalefusion Dashboard for getting close to accurate results with respect to Distance:

   • Set high accuracy for Location mode.
   • Location tracking mode > Fleet tracking > 1 min
   • Location Sampling frequency > High

   
   

Geo-Fence Logs

Geofences can be created on the Scalefusion Dashboard by defining Latitudes, Longitudes, Radius, etc., and then applied on enrolled devices. This enables the admin to capture the device's move-in/out activities. Geo-Fence Logs report tracks and lists all geofence-related details.
