Map (Insights) Tab

Map (Insights) helps you visualize a site using the latest uploaded site images, asset event locations and site zones.

Select assets and tags based on the selected date range. This shows different types of events and zones in different colors, clustered to aid in further understanding the site.

Click individual clusters to view asset, KPI and time stamp details.

Asset Tag: Select a single asset tag or multiple to view corresponding data Find all the asset tags available in that site in the drop-down list.

Select Grade & Compact to view combined data for both asset tags.
Date Range: Select between Today, Yesterday, Last 7 days and Custom Range (up to 31 days).

Today is the default date range selection.

For Custom Range, select dates from the past 13 months and required time range. Refine your downloaded reports by selecting start and end times.

The available custom date range is based on your local browser time zone and not individual sites. Select one day into the future of your local time zone if said date is available in a different time zone. Use this to view site data for a time zone ahead of yours.

For sites with calibration (.cal) files, select Project Extents to load and view map data for Grade & Compact assets from site start date to current or (for archived sites) end date.
Slider Pane: On the left side of Map is a slider pane that expands when you click on the arrow. It displays Events, Site Images and Zones that you can select to view in detail. You can view selected legends at the bottom of map once the slider panel is closed.
1. Events
  
  Use Events, specifically production & idling events, to filter data displayed by selecting or deselecting events. Each event is represented by a distinct auto-selected color.
  
  Production events are selected by default and include Load, Dump, Loaded Stopped, and Empty Stopped.
  
  For load out assets, the Load events are changed to Dig events, which needs to be manually selected. The Idling Events include Long Idle, Medium Idle, Short Idle and Productive Idle. They vary depending on the selected asset tags and date range.
  
  The default view of Events is the cluster view where all different events occurring in a particular location are grouped together.
  
  On switching off the toggle button, the cluster view changes, plotting individual events on the map in locations where they occurred.
  
  For an ejector-style articulated truck, considered a hauler asset, the Dump Time, Location and Duration may not be captured correctly in some situations. Typically, it is when an ejector reaches its home position that the dump is recorded as ended and the location is tracked. However, if the operator begins to drive away from the actual dump area while returning the ejector:
  - Location will be recorded as wherever the ejector is returned.
  - Dump Time will include the extended travel time until the ejector was returned to its home position.
  - Duration of that segment will include more than just the duration to dump the material.
2. Site Images
  
  Helps you view the uploaded site images. Refer to Add Site Images for more information about adding images under the slider icon.
3. Zones
  1. Use Zones to select or unselect created zones under the Cut/Load, Fill/Dump and Exemption zones for the selected site.
    
    The Deleted zones button is enabled only if those zones are available for the selected date range. The zones are represented by the colors chosen when the zone was created.
    
    Refer to Zones in Map (Insights) Tab for more information.
  2. Use the Show Site Boundary toggle to view or hide the site boundary of a site. It is enabled only if there is an existing site boundary.
  3. Click on a zone in the map to view its details. The respective zone info card opens in place of Zones.
