The Incident Summary Report shows you the summary information about incidents for a specific time period including any notes that have been entered about an incident. Only selected, authorized vehicles are included in the report based on your global group filter selection. You can view and change your global group filter by clicking the linked text on the upper, right below your name.

To view the report, select your search criteria as described below, then click View.

Report Options

Vehicle: The identifier your company assigned to the vehicle. If the ID is not available the serial number from the mobile unit displays.
Driver: The ID of the logged-in driver. This field is blank if you do not include a Driver ID in your options.
State: The State field allows you to track which incidents have been reviewed by someone in your company. Your company may or may not use the State field, but most companies set the State to reviewed after a CER user has reviewed the incident. CER automatically sets all new incidents to New.

Use filter: Optionally, select a predefined filter of one or more available event types (for example, manual, hard braking, and so forth). Filters are defined by system administrators on the Administration: Filters tab.

At the top of the Incident Summary Report is the Search Criteria used to generate the report. A pie chart summarizes the number of each type of incident found.

Vehicle

Time

The moment the incident occurred in the local time zone of the logged-in user. This time is recorded by the mobile unit when the trigger event occurs.

You can distinguish between the two locations by looking at the map tab for the incident details page. The incident location is marked by a truck icon. The location where the mobile unit sent the critical event report is marked by an envelope icon.
