Evaluation
The option Evaluation is one of the most commonly used function of our application. In here, users can retrieve the necessary information either by running any of the pre-defined System profiles, or by running one of the User and company profiles. The options System profiles, “User and company profiles and the New query can be found in the sidebar which slides in from the right when opening the option Evaluation from the main menu.
Query profiles
System profiles
The System profiles are pre-defined, default queries, they create the result from row data along aspects which are commonly used in company management. Users can change the configuration of these profiles, and the modified profiles can be saved as User and company profiles, either with the same, or with a new name.
New query and the creation of a User or Company profile
User and company profiles are created by combining the query criteria that it meets the company's specific demands. Running a few pre-defined profile, then evaluating the result gives our users enough insight, hence help too, so they can start creating their own User and company profiles. The button New query opens the window Search and results. The range of the data what the report will take into account can be specified in the Filter panel on the left side, the report's aspects can be compiled on the right, in the Configuration and result panel. The Filter's parameters define the report's interval, the range of the devices, vehicles and drivers, the purpose of use (private/professional), the displacement, the motoring offences and the so called aggregated options (the values displayed in the result table). Should the new profile be used again later, perhaps regularly, it can be saved in the User and company profiles list.
Search panel
The system aggregates the data along the parameters set in the search panel, on the left side of the window. The result is displayed on the right, in the Configuration and result panel. The following search criteria are available in the search panel: time interval, the range of the considered vehicles, devices and drivers, nature of use, standing / motion, rule violation events, and the aggregated options. The display of the aggregated options can be switched on and off in the result table column by column.

By positioning the cursor above the departure or arrival address two hovering button appear: the crosshairs, which zooms onto the location on the map, and the POI icon, which allows users to create a new POI around the address.
