GPS tracking data becomes valuable when it can be organized around a specific question: which vehicles exceeded a speed, which events occurred during a shift, where an asset was, or which variables must be reviewed before making a decision. This update introduced a new Secure GPS experience for building custom GPS reports with columns, filters, history, and artificial intelligence assistance.
Instead of relying only on fixed report layouts, each organization can prepare views adapted to its operation, reuse an existing configuration, revisit previous versions, and download results to Excel. The same tracking platform can therefore support logistics, security, customer service, route control, and fleet analysis.
What a custom GPS report means in Secure GPS
A custom report is a query that combines a time range, one or more devices, the columns to display, and the conditions that records must meet. Secure GPS processes the available information and presents it as a table designed for analysis.
Depending on the tracker and configuration, columns may represent location, date and time, movement, speed, address, alerts, sensors, or other compatible variables. Each team can see the information it needs without forcing every user to work with the same table.
Create reports with the columns you need
The new interface lets users create a report, give it a name, and select its columns. Fields can be added, removed, and reordered to build a view that matches the process being monitored.
- A security manager can prioritize date, device, location, and alert information.
- A logistics coordinator can focus on routes, movement, speed, and time.
- An analyst can prepare a comparable table for several vehicles over the same period.
- A service team can gather the evidence needed to answer a customer request.
Selecting only relevant columns reduces horizontal scrolling, improves readability, and produces clearer shared files.
Custom filters for finding specific information
In addition to columns, a report can include filters. Each filter applies a condition to an available variable to limit the results. Depending on the data type, users can look for matches or compare values so the query focuses on exceptions or situations that require attention.
For example, a user can prepare a query for a group of devices during an interval and focus on events, speed ranges, or compatible values transmitted by the trackers. Available conditions depend on the selected variable.
Filters reduce lengthy manual reviews, but they should be configured carefully: an overly restrictive condition can hide useful records, while a broad condition can return more information than needed.
Create a report from an existing report
Users do not always need to start from scratch. Secure GPS can use an existing report as the basis for a new one. The copy retains an initial structure that can be changed by adding or removing columns, modifying filters, and assigning a name that reflects the new purpose.
This workflow is useful when several teams share a methodology. A business can maintain a general activity report and derive versions for operations, security, or customer service without changing the original. It also helps standardize indicators and reduce configuration errors.
History of report configurations and instructions
The update added history associated with each report. This history records configurations and instructions used to adjust columns and filters, and lets the user select an earlier version to review its structure again.
This is different from an archive of frozen results. Returning to an earlier configuration restores the definition of the analysis, while returned values depend on the devices, period, and data available when the query runs. A specific result can be retained by downloading its file.
In daily work, history helps teams compare approaches, correct a change that did not produce the expected result, and continue an analysis from an earlier point.
AI assistance for adjusting columns and filters
Secure GPS also introduced an artificial intelligence tool that accepts a natural-language instruction and proposes a new report configuration. The assistant works with available variables and the current structure to modify columns and filters according to the user's request.
For example, a person can describe the information they want to review instead of configuring every element manually. The proposed result becomes part of the history so it can be evaluated and compared with previous versions.
The assistant speeds up preparation, but it does not replace operational judgment. Before saving, sharing, or using a report for a decision, the user should confirm that its columns, conditions, units, devices, and dates match the intended analysis.
Run the report for devices and a time range
After defining the structure, the user selects the devices and interval to query. Secure GPS returns records compatible with the configured columns and filters, allowing the information to be reviewed in a table and additional results to be loaded when applicable.
Separating report definition from execution provides flexibility: the same structure can be applied to another week, another vehicle group, or a new investigation without rebuilding the entire analysis.
Download custom GPS reports to Excel
Results can be exported to Excel for sharing, archiving, or further work in external processes. The file retains the report columns and values returned for the query, avoiding the need to copy rows manually from the screen.
This workflow supports operational closeouts, service evidence, review meetings, periodic analysis, and customer deliverables. The export represents the result available when it is generated; changing the period, devices, filters, or received data can produce different values in a later run.
Real-world uses for fleets, assets, and people
- Route control: combine location, time, and movement to review an operation.
- Incident investigation: filter the period and variables related to an exception.
- Driver supervision: analyze speed, stops, or events available from the devices.
- Asset monitoring: build a simple view for checking activity and the latest relevant information.
- Customer service: prepare a clear file with the data needed to answer a request.
- Periodic analysis: reuse the same report to compare weeks, vehicles, or groups.
How to create a custom report
- Open the Secure GPS reports area and create a report or use another report as a base.
- Assign a name that clearly describes its purpose.
- Select and order the columns required for the analysis.
- Add filters and review the conditions applied to each variable.
- Optionally, use a natural-language instruction to propose adjustments with AI.
- Select devices and dates, run the query, and review a sample of its results.
- Save the configuration and download the result to Excel when it must be retained or shared.
Data quality, permissions, and availability
A report can only display information received by Secure GPS and made available by the device, installation, and account. Accuracy can be affected by coverage, reporting frequency, signal quality, tracker compatibility, and sensor configuration. User permissions and plan may also determine which reports, devices, and variables are available.
For useful results, teams should validate units, time zone, interval, device selection, and the meaning of each field before comparing operations or drawing conclusions.
Functional summary for users and integrators
This update introduced a complete custom reporting cycle: definition of a name, ordered columns, and filters; execution for devices and periods; creation from another report; configuration history; changes proposed through natural language; and Excel export. Available variables and conditions depend on the public data supplied by each tracker and the account permissions.
