How to utilize Graphs within the Dashboard

This article covers the Dashboard graphs within the Trailer & YMS portal.

Total Inventory

Total inventory displays real-time data for the organization’s tracker inventory as well as the number of trackers attached or detached for the day.

Similarly, Total inventory of trackers opens the My Lot page showing all of the trackers that have been defined in the system. The trackers may be attached and working, attached and non-responsive for some reason, or not attached to a piece of equipment. 

 

Tracker Status and Battery Level

The Tracker status and battery level pane provides a quick view of tracker status and battery health.

Drill down into detailed tracker and battery status data by selecting the Attached and Responsive,
Unresponsive, and Left Lot links under Tracker status.

The number of Attached trackers is equal to Tracker status Attached and Responsive plus Unresponsive plus Left Lot values. Similarly, the Total inventory of trackers is equal to all the values listed under Tracker status.

Inventory Aging

The Inventory Aging toggle offers a graphical view of tagged vehicles based on the ‘age’ of the automobile and tracker ‘relationship’ (when the vehicle and tracker were attached).

The number of total vehicles in this bar graph is the same as the Attached trackers value in the Total inventory pane. Hover the mouse over any of the bars to view summary information; click the bar to open the Vehicles list in My Lot. The Vehicles page defaults to matching inventory aging filters.

Idle Inventory

Idle inventory displays the number of days vehicles have been sitting idle (no movement). This data helps identify process or automobile challenges and ensure issues are remedied in a timely manner to keep the supply chain smoothly operating.

As with the Inventory Aging pane, hover the mouse over a single bar on the graph to display summary data. Click on a single bar to open the filtered Vehicles listing page in My Lot.

Zone Throughput

Zones are the various areas or sections of your facility and help to track automobiles through the staging, detailing, inspection, and delivery processes. Zone Throughput displays the number of automobiles that entered and left a zone for a specific set of dates. Use the drop-down list at the top of the page to select the zone and click Select dates to launch the calendar and select the date range.

Screen Shot 2023-05-17 at 12.22.57 PM

Hover the mouse over the red and blue points on the graph to view summary data for that date.

Screen Shot 2023-05-17 at 12.24.52 PM

(Note: You can also view the number of vehicles in any zone using the Zones option under My Lot or filtering by zone on the My Lot Vehicles list.)

 

Zonal Occupancy

Whereas Zone Throughput gives details for specific zones and dates, the Zonal Occupancy graph
displays the number of vehicles within a zone and the available spaces per zone. This can help identify any zones where a bottleneck may be occurring.

Screen Shot 2023-05-17 at 12.29.07 PM

Hover over the individual bar to view high-level zone information.

Select the bar to open the list of vehicles in that zone in the My Lot area of the portal.

Vehicle Distribution by Attributes

When vehicles are input into the system any number of attributes can be assigned to the automobile (e.g., dealer, serial number, VIN #, model, etc.). Utilize the Vehicle Distribution graph to quickly view data regarding your facility’s inventory. By default, the system displays the first attribute in the drop-down list. Choose another option from the Attributes drop-down on the upper right corner of the graph. Use Select dates to input the date range for your search.

Screen Shot 2023-05-17 at 12.32.30 PM

Hover the mouse within a bar to view more specifics regarding data for the selected attribute and date.
