GPS Insight Hierarchy Capabilities now available in Beta

Category: Ad Hoc Reports,Hierarchy,New Features,Reporting,Reportsrdonat @ 9:46 pm

If you would like to use the Hierarchy capabilities while they are in Beta, please contact support@gpsinsight.com or your salesperson.

The Hierarchy Editor is available now (upon request), as well as reporting using individual Hierarchy nodes or multiple ones in combination (“Custom”)

Here are the basic steps — create your hierarchies, and drag/drop members (vehicles, drivers, landmarks & users) into the various levels of the hierarchy using both groups and “wildcards” to make it fast and easy:

Drag and Drop into the GPS Insight Hierarchy

Then create a custom report (any report can use a single hierarchy node or a “Custom Hierarchy Selection”):

Create a Report using a Custom Hierarchy Selection

When using a custom hierarchy selection, you can drag and drop hierarchy levels from different hierarchies into the editor. This allows you to “add” hierarchy members together, “intersect” them (e.g. all SouthWest vehicles which are parts vehicles), and “subtract” or restrict them (e.g. but exclude all managers and foreign vehicles, etc.).

Here we are adding Canada to East vehicles:

Drag Hierarchy Members from different Hierarchies

Here we are choosing all Management vehicles in Canada and the East

Create an "intersection" between hierarchies

And last, subtract or exclude/restrict all Foreign vehicles:

Restrict by "subtracting" one or more hierarchy members

Restrict by "subtracting" one or more hierarchy members

Then click on “Run Report” and the Report is run for just that group of vehicles. Only those 9 vehicles are included.

Soon you will be able to save your custom hierarchy selections and use them in both alerts and scheduled reoprts.

The Hierarchy Capabilities are still in Beta, and we are constantly adding capabilities.

They are immediately useful and powerful, so please start getting familiar with them by asking support to give you beta access as well as a demo.

Thanks,

Rob.
