# Activity Summary Report
## Quickly review high-level movement patterns and utilisation statistics across your fleet.
#### **Overview**
The **Activity Summary** report offers a top-level view of asset movement within a selected period, aggregating trip and distance data per asset. Unlike the **Activity Detailed** report, which lists individual trips line by line, the Summary groups all trip-related metrics for each asset into a single row—ideal for fast operational overviews, fleet-wide audits, and identifying under-utilised or inactive units.
This report is especially helpful when tracking fleet performance across multiple assets, identifying usage trends, or preparing high-level reporting for stakeholders.
Each row in the report corresponds to one asset and aggregates all recorded driving trips within the selected timeframe.
---
#### **Report Structure**
The generated report includes the following data columns:
| Column Name | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **Asset ID** | The unique internal identifier of the asset within Perspio. |
| **Asset Name** | The friendly name given to the asset (e.g., vehicle nickname or unit number). |
| **Number of Trips** | The total number of driving sessions detected by the telemetry device over the selected timeframe. Helps indicate the frequency of use. |
| **Unique Days** | Number of distinct days the asset was active (i.e., performed at least one trip). Useful to identify regular vs. occasional use. |
| **Number of Events** | The total number of ignition/movement-related events recorded by the telemetry device. Can help reflect asset usage intensity. |
| **Total Distance (km)** | The sum of distances covered during all trips, calculated via GPS data. Useful for wear and tear estimations, cost recovery, and maintenance planning. |
| **Total Duration** | Combined active trip time across the reporting window. Useful for workload and operational duration assessments. |
At the bottom of the report, a generation timestamp indicates when the report was created, along with the local time zone for clarity.

#### How to Generate the Report
1. Navigate to **Reports → Asset Telemetry → Activity Summary**.
2. Select the **Scope** (Relative or Range) and define the **Time Period** (e.g., Today, This Month, or Custom Dates).
3. Use the **Assets** dropdown to choose all or specific assets for inclusion.
4. Optionally enable **Show Assets with No Activity** to include idle assets in the results.
5. Click **Run Report**.
6. The report is displayed in a table and can be exported to PDF, PDF/A, XLSX or CSV.

#### **Applicability and Use Cases**
The Activity Summary report is designed to support strategic and operational decision-making across fleets and equipment-heavy environments. Common use cases include:
### 1. Fleet Activity Snapshot
Get a bird’s-eye view of how many trips each asset completed in a period, how often they were in use, and how far they travelled.
### 2. Under-Utilisation Detection
Assets showing zero trips, short durations, or very low distance totals can be flagged for further investigation, redeployment, or decommissioning.
### 3. Maintenance Planning
Use distance and duration metrics to assess service intervals, align with manufacturer recommendations, or schedule preventative maintenance.
### 4. Performance Benchmarking
Compare similar assets (e.g., trucks, generators, trailers) across different regions or teams to identify overuse or inefficiency.
### 5. Stakeholder Reporting
Summarise operational coverage in a digestible format for internal or external reporting, without needing to review granular trip data.

#### **Interpreting the Data**
- **Zero trips with non-zero event count**: The asset may have been powered but stationary, or experienced false movement triggers.
- **High number of unique days**: Suggests the asset is in near-daily use and mission-critical.
- **Short total duration**: Indicates light or occasional use, possibly a backup or idle asset.
- **Missing assets**: May be filtered out due to Security Group permissions or archiving status. Consider reviewing the "Show Assets with No Activity" toggle.

**Summary**
The Activity Summary report is an essential tool for operational oversight, asset planning, and performance analysis. By consolidating trip, distance, and duration information into a single-row-per-asset format, it enables faster decision-making and highlights key trends across the fleet—without getting lost in the details.
