A new feature has been added to the ANT-logistics toolbar — Quick Analytics. It allows you to display reports without going to the Analytics module. Thus, reports can be quickly retrieved from the service interface and compared with data from Documents or Directories.
Data display in Quick Analytics is set up in the Analytics module. Go to the report we need and select Visual Element Settings:
In the window that opens, on the On service tab, fill in the fields:
- Link to table — select which Document or Directory on the service the selected visual element of the report should be linked to (currently available are the Directory of Sales Points, Directory of Vehicles, Document of Requests (Sales Points), Document of Routes, Document of Routes (Sales Points)). If there is no need to display Quick Analytics for the selected visual element — select No table;
- Ignore filters — if necessary, select filters (fields) that you do not want to take into account when generating the report for Quick Analytics.
Click OK to save the changes.
After those actions, the selected visual element will be linked to the specified Document or Directory. Go to this Document or Directory, select any record (retail outlet, route, etc.) 1 and click the Quick Analytics button 2 — the linked visual element will be displayed (i.e., the table from Analytics). If multiple visual elements from Analytics are linked to one Document or Directory, they are displayed in Quick Analytics as tabs 3.
The tab names in Quick Analytics correspond to the Description in Analytics:
Below is an example of using Quick Analytics.
Let’s assume that we have a task to visually display information about the movement of the vehicle for the last three months, which is selected by the service during the route generation.
Let’s go to the Analytics — Route List and set the required period for generating report 1. Next, we will create the Route Report 2 visual element:
Select the necessary fields (in our case, these are Date, Vehicle Type, Distance, Travel time, Route Points Qty, Expences):
Let’s link this visual element to the Routes Document:
Information for the specified period will be displayed:
Next, in the service, go to the Routes Document 1 on the selected date, select the required record (for example, the route for MAN 1) 2 and click the Quick Analytics button 3. The Quick Analytics window will appear, which contains a table-extract from the associated Analytics report. The table displays all routes for the selected vehicle for the specified period:
If you select another record (route for Mercedes 1) and update Quick Analytics, the table content will change — it will display data for the Mercedes 1:
If, for example, you need to display data for all routes for the specified period in Quick Analytics, and not just for the selected car, then in Analytics, go to Visual Element Settings and in the On Service tab, in the Ignore filters field, set the filter «Vehicles«:
In this case, data filtering will not be performed by the «Vehicle» field and the Quick Analytics table will be displayed as follows:
To close the Quick Analytics window, click the Quick Analytics button again.
In addition, a search bar and a filter button for report fields have recently been added to Quick Analytics. The Route on the map are also available to our users.
If you are interested in the described functionality, we are ready to demonstrate its operation, perform the necessary settings, and provide access to the service. To do this, leave a request on the ANT-logistics website.
