How to create an Equipment Details Report
Equipment is a key resource tracked within your Daily Reports — recording what equipment was used on the job site, its type, company, and active/idle hours. The Equipment Details Report pulls this information out of your Daily Report entries into a single table, making it easy to review equipment usage across a date range without opening individual entries.
Running the Report
From the Report Log, open the Equipment Details report and click Configure to set up your criteria:
- Date range (required) — Choose the date range of Daily Reports to include. Quick shortcuts are available: This Week, Last Week, Last 7 Days, This Month, Last Month, or Reset to clear your selection. Defaults to This Month.
- Equipment (required) — Choose which equipment to include. Populated from everything recorded in an Equipment Details table on a Published or Archived Daily Report. Defaults to all equipment found.
- Status (required) — Choose which Daily Report statuses to pull from (In Progress, Submitted, Under Review, Approved). Defaults to Approved only.
- Associated Items (optional) — Narrow results to equipment entries tied to specific pay items. Defaults to all items found.
- Company (optional) — Narrow results to equipment from specific companies. Defaults to all companies found.
When a field allows multiple selections, chosen values display as chips; if there isn't room to show them all, the field will show a chip indicating how many additional values are selected.
Click Run to generate the report, or Cancel to close the flyout without changes. You can reopen Configure at any time from the Report View page to adjust your criteria and re-run the report.
TIP: Double clicking the report will open and run the report using the most recently used report configuration criteria.
Viewing the Report
The report displays one row for every time a piece of equipment was recorded in an Equipment Details table entry — so if the same piece of equipment appears multiple times across different Daily Reports (or even multiple times within one), each instance gets its own row.
Results are sorted by Date (most recent first), and then by Description alphabetically within each date.
Each row includes:
| Column | Source |
|---|---|
| Date | Daily Report's Date field |
| Number | Daily Report's Number field |
| Creator | Daily Report's Creator field |
| Status | Daily Report's Status field |
| Equipment Type | From the Equipment list, for the equipment selected |
| ID | From the Equipment list, for the equipment selected |
| Description | From the Equipment list, for the equipment selected |
| Company | From the Equipment list, for the equipment selected |
| Count | From the Equipment Details table |
| Active Hours | From the Equipment Details table |
| Idle Hours | From the Equipment Details table |
| Associated Item Number | Number of the item linked in the Equipment Details table |
| Associated Item Description | Description of the item linked in the Equipment Details table |
| Equipment Remarks | From the Equipment Details table |
Field values display using the same format as their source field — for example, if Count is a number field with 2 decimal precision on the entry, it will show with 2 decimal precision in the report.
