     Optional fields

    The fields that apply are determined by the report type you choose.

    Field
    Description
    Send to email

    Enter the email address the report should be sent to.

    This only applies to scheduled reports.

     
    Daily/Weekly

    Select a frequency of when you'd like to receive emails and enter a time you'd like to receive it.

    This only applies to scheduled reports.

     
    Speed Limit

    Enter the maximum / minimum speed limit. This is mandatory for Overspeed and Underspeed reports, but other reports may reference speed limit data if you input a value here.

    Stops

    Set duration of stops

    This can eliminate traffic light stops, e.g. >2 min will only display data for stops that are greater than two minutes. By default this is set to >1 min, e.g. stops that are less than one minute will not create a data entry line.

     
    Show addresses

    Nearest address will be shown against each data entry line.

    Zones instead of addresses

    Geofence zones will be shown against each data entry line.
