View and Analyze Unit Performance Data in Encompass

Purpose

This article explains how to view and analyze unit performance data in J. J. Keller® Encompass®, including trends, circle charts, line graphs, and detailed sections for Hard Braking, Idle Time, Over RPM, Over Speed, and MPG.

When to Use This Article

• You need to review a specific unit's performance metrics for a date range.
• You need to understand what the circle charts, line graphs, and performance sections mean.
• You are looking for hard braking, idle time, over speed, or MPG data for a unit.

Steps to Follow

1. Go to Vehicles > Performance.

2. Use the tabs across the top to filter units by performance type (e.g., Over Speed tab shows all units over speed in the date range).

3. Find the desired unit using tabs, search, Advanced Filters, or the unit list. Click on the unit to view its performance data.

4. Adjust the date range at the top of the Performance page to view data for a specific period.

Understanding the Performance Data

Trends

The Trends section shows unit/vehicle performance data for the selected date range.

Circle Chart

The data is color coordinated between the name of the event/status on the left and the circle chart results on the right. (ie. Idle Time is orange in color). Hover over each "event" to reveal a highlighted view of that specific dataset in the circle chart.

Hover over the pieces of the circle chart to reveal the number of occurrences of that event.

Click on one or multiple data titles to remove those results from the circle chart and the line graph. The selected event will be grayed out. In the example below, "Over Speed" has been removed from the circle chart and line graph view.

Line Graph

The line graph displays the various data in "Number of Occurrences" on the y-axis and the date range/s on the x-axis.

Hover over a specific point of the line/s to reveal the number of occurrences for that point's specific date range.

Hard Braking

The next section lists any Hard Braking events for the unit/vehicle within the date range selected. If there was no hard braking for the specified date range, the section will be noted as such:

Idle Time

Idle Time will show any period greater than 5 minutes in which the unit/vehicle is running, but not moving.

Over RPM

The Over RPM section shows the average RPM for each day the unit/vehicle moved within the date range and any minutes spent over the threshold. (The threshold for your units/vehicles is set in your company settings.)

Over Speed

The Over Speed section shows the average MPH for each day the unit/vehicle moved within the date range. Additionally, any minutes spent over the threshold that was set up in your company settings will be reported.

MPG

The MPG section shows the average MPG for each day the vehicle moved within the specified date range.

The ELD calculates the miles via the ECM port in the vehicle. Once those miles are submitted to Encompass, the fuel that is entered manually into the app or Encompass is then broken down by those miles.

What Not to Do / Common Pitfalls

• Do not forget to check the date range -- performance data only shows for the selected period, and a narrow range may show incomplete results.
• Do not confuse unit performance thresholds with company-wide settings -- thresholds are configured in company settings and apply to all units at that level.
• Do not assume missing data means no activity -- verify the ELD is connected and reporting before concluding there were no events.

Escalation Path

• If performance data is not appearing for a unit, verify the unit has an active ELD device reporting data and that Is Unit Performance Reportable? is enabled in company settings.
• If chart data appears incorrect or incomplete, confirm the date range and contact J. J. Keller Support at [e-mail] or 1-800-327-1342.
