Running OnSpot Reports

Steps to run OnSpot reports on an Android device.

OnSpot is a method to determine if a vehicle is ready for the next step in your organization’s workflow process. The OnSpot definitions (reports) and mappings are defined on the Cognosos RTLS portal. Refer to the Outdoor RTLS User Guide for information on setting up OnSpot reports.

Select the OnSpot menu option from the bottom of the screen. To run OnSpot, select the OnSpot option at the top right. The list of defined OnSpot mappings displays. Choose one and then Apply.

If no OnSpot definitions have been set up in the portal, a message will display stating such. You must first set up the OnSpot mappings and definitions through the Cognosos RTLS portal. 


When applied, the resulting graph displays OnSpot (green; vehicles that meet the OnSpot conditions) and not OnSpot (red; vehicles that should, but do not meet the OnSpot conditions) vehicles for the selected report.  

The selected OnSpot report name displays above the graph.

OS graph

The graph defaults to vehicles that are both OnSpot and not; however, not all report outcomes will include both. To view one or the other, tap the graph. Choose the desired option. Cancel to return to the graph.

OnSpot reports may return hundreds or thousands of vehicles. Narrow results with filters. Choose Filters on the OnSpot screen and select any combination of saved, pre-defined, or other attributes. (Refer to the Searching by Filters section for detailed information on using filters.)  

When all filter selection is complete choose Apply on Select Filters screen. The graph refreshes with vehicles matching the filter.  

To view a different OnSpot report or null out the current report, choose OnSpot at the top of the graph and either select and apply a different report or select None and Apply. 

Refer to the RTLS User Guide or Knowledge Base for your industry on details regarding OnSpot mappings and definitions.
