How to view OnSpot vehicles via My Lot, Map, and Dashboard.
Once on-spot filter reports have been created and saved, they can be run from My Lot, Map, or Dashboard. Each location will display on-spot vehicles for the definition selected, although each offers various actions as noted below.
OnSpot is a user-defined set of criteria that helps the user determine when an automobile is ready for the next step in its life cycle or inventory process and is another method for managing a group of vehicles based on user-defined criteria
via My Lot Vehicles
Open the Vehicles page under My Lot and select the OnSpot option from the drop-down list. You may make only one on-spot report selection.
Three options at the bottom of the list allow you to fine-tune the display of on-spot vehicles. If left unchecked, the list shows all vehicles in the on-spot definition (meet mapping criteria), whether they are currently on-spot according to the criteria. Choose one, multiple or leave all checked.
Show OnSpot displays only vehicles that meet all on-spot conditions
Show Not OnSpot displays vehicles that meet the vehicle definition but not on-spot condition
Show vehicles with missing details will display automobiles that have missing attributes (the portal can not determine if vehicles meet conditions)
Once the on-spot definition and output option(s) are selected from the OnSpot menu, select Done. The Vehicles list refreshes based on the selected on-spot report as shown in the examples below.
Regardless of the options chosen for the OnSpot list, click the Vehicle ID link to open the Vehicle Details page. Use the more... option from the Vehicle Description column to view more asset details for the vehicle (although when viewing vehicles with missing details, asset information may be limited or missing).
Show on-spot displays only on-spot autos. These vehicles are denoted with a green checkmark icon in the OnSpot (name) column on the Vehicles list.
Show NOT on-spot displays only vehicles that are in the definition but do not meet the conditions. These automobiles appear with a red x icon. The column also notes why the vehicle does not meet the on-spot mapping criteria.
Show vehicles with missing details displays automobiles that are missing asset details. This is indicated through a gray question mark icon along with noting the missing values. When asset details are missing, a vehicle can not accurately be reported. If this option is left unchecked, these vehicles do not display in the on-spot listing.
To return to a full list of vehicles, open the OnSpot menu and select the None checkbox or the Clear option.
When you run an OnSpot report from any portal page, the report will display on ALL applicable portal pages until cleared.
via Map
Open the Map and select OnSpot in the right-hand pane. Locate and select the OnSpot report you wish to view. The map refreshes in the background as selections are made. Choose output option (show, show not, show missing...). To apply the view and close the menu click Done.
The right side of the map displays the number of vehicles and the OnSpot name. The map shows clusters and/or single vehicle icons depending on the number of resulting vehicles.
If needed, drill down into the cluster by clicking on the cluster icon (or set map view to Hide Clusters). The zoom level will continue to go in until single icons (or links) are shown.

The graph shows the number of vehicles for on-spot and not on-spot for that OnSpot report. Hover the mouse over the graph to view the number of vehicles in each, as well as percentage within each category. Use the Filters option (previously defined or create a new filter) to further narrow down your results.
Click the graph to launch the My Lot Vehicles page listing the individual automobiles. To view vehicles that are missing details use the Unmapped link at the top of the graph.
