If your organization has purchased the CrashBoxx add-on service, you can view crash data in an at-a-glance view on the CrashBoxx Dashboard. The CrashBoxx Dashboard presents data in charts and graphs that help you visualize how your fleet has been affected by accidents, including the percentage of crashes for your total fleet, the number of crashes by severity level, the total crashes, and the percentage by crash type.


Displaying the CrashBoxx Dashboard


To open the CrashBoxx Dashboard, follow these steps:


  1. On the sidebar menu on the left, click .
     
  2. Click CrashBoxx on the flyout menu that appears.
     
    The CrashBoxx Dashboard screen will appear and display crash data for the last 12 months.
      
  3. To change the time period of results (by default, data for the past 12 months will be displayed), follow these steps:
      
    1. Mouse over the top right of the Select Interval pane.
       
       will appear.
       
    2. Click .
       
      The Select Interval filter will be displayed.
        
    3. To display all the available data since CalAmp began collecting CrashBoxx data for you on the Dashboard, select Include All (No Filter Applied). Then skip down to step h.
       
    4. To select specific years, quarters, months, weeks, or days, click the Year drop-down arrow and click one of the options. Then click the Select drop-down arrow and check the boxes of the time segments you need. (For Day, you will choose the days on a calendar picker.) You can click Select All to include all the options. Then skip down to step h.
      Note: The Hour (Aggregated) and 15-Min (Aggregated) options currently aren't functioning.
    5. To choose a certain number of days, weeks, months, quarters, or years, leave Last selected for its drop-down list, click the 12 up-down arrow and select the count you need, and then click the Months drop-down arrow and select the new time value. Then skip down to step h.
      Note: You can select This and then a time value (such as month) to receive results from just the beginning of that time frame up until now. The Next option, unfortunately, does NOT provide future results (and is just a leftover from similar dialog boxes). If Including Current is checked, the current day, week, month, quarter, or year will be included in the results. (Deselect this if you don't want today's [for example] activity to be reported as well.)
    6. You can set a certain time range by clicking the From calendar picker, choosing the beginning date on the calendar, and then selecting the end date. (Click outside the picker to close it.) Then skip down to step h.
       
    7. You can choose specific time conditions to include or exclude from the results by first clicking the Is Not drop-down arrow, selecting from these options, and performing the following steps:
       
      • Is Not: To exclude the conditions you will enter from the results. Click the Year drop-down arrow and click one of the options. Then click the Select drop-down arrow and check the boxes of the time segments you want to leave out. (For Day, you will choose the days on a calendar picker.) You can click Select All for all the options.
         
        The results will include all the days, months, or such EXCEPT those you specify.
         
      • Is: To show ONLY the conditions you will enter. Follow the instructions for Is Not, but in this case the results will include all the days, months, or such that you DID specify.
         
      • Is Within: To include results within a specific range of conditions. Click the 1 up-down arrow and select the count you need; click the Year drop-down arrow and select Year, Quarter, Month, Week, or Day; select Before or After in the next drop-down list; and specify a date using the calendar picker.
         
        For example, if someone asks you for crash data for a time period just before a certain date, you might choose Is Within/2/Weeks/Before/the date they provided to return CrashBoxx results for that two-week time span.
         
      • Top: To display only the highest values of the conditions. Click the 1 up-down arrow and select the count you need; click the Year drop-down arrow and select Year, Quarter, Month, Week, or Day; then click in the Ranked By box and select the field you want.
         
        For example, if you want to see the week with the most total crashes in the history of your account, you would choose Top/1/Week/Crashes_per.
         
      • Bottom: To display only the lowest values of the conditions. Follow the same procedure as for Top, but for this, the results will show the week with the fewest crashes (for example).
         
    8. Click Apply.
       
      The update icon () will appear to the left of the Filters panel.
       
    9. Click  to reload the results with your changes applied.
       
  4. To change the subgroups whose results are being displayed (by default, the data from all the subgroups of the group selected in the Group Chooser will be included), follow these steps:
      
    1. Mouse over the top right of the Account Name pane.
       
       will appear.
       
    2. Click .
       
      The Account Name filter will be displayed.
        
      Include All (meaning all the subgroups of the group you have selected in the Group Chooser, plus the parent group itself) will be selected by default.
      Note: If you want to view data of a group above this group, you'll need to change the group you have chosen in the Group Chooser, as shown in Choosing a Group to View Globally. If you want to view a group that is above your assigned group in your account hierarchy, you'll need to obtain different permissions from your organization's administrator.
    3. To choose specific groups by name, select the radio button to the left of Find in the List.
       
      Then select the check boxes of the groups' data you want to display.
      Note: You can scroll down to find the child groups you need or instead type part of the group name in the search box. After you have typed a few characters, only groups with the matching criteria will remain in the list.
    4. Optionally, you can use specific conditions to include or exclude groups from the results by selecting the Is Not radio button, clicking the Is Not drop-down arrow, choosing the condition, and selecting the groups (or typing the criteria).
       
    5. Click Apply.
       
      The update icon () will appear to the left of the Filters panel.
       
    6. Click  to reload the results with your changes applied.

Note: You can give the Dashboard widgets more screen real estate by collapsing the Filters pane on the right by clicking . You'll find this about halfway down the screen between the tiles and the Filters pane. (Click  to restore the filters to view.)


The Crash Percentage by Crash Type Widget


On the Crash Percentage by Crash Type tile, there is a pie chart that shows the percentage of crashes in your fleet of each type — type in this case meaning where the asset was hit, such as the front of the vehicle, the front-right side, and the back. The pie pieces are color coded by the area that was harmed.



The Total Crashes Widget


The Total Crashes widget consists of a bar graph that displays how many crashes occurred per time segment. The y-axis shows the number of accidents, and the x-axis contains the time segments (months, if you have left the Dashboard at its default time frame of Last 12 Months).



The Devices by Crash Reports Widget


The Devices by Crash Reports widget contains a bar graph that shows the devices that reported crash events over the chosen time range. The y-axis displays the number of crash events reported to CalAmp, and the x-axis lists the devices by ESN (electronic serial number).



The Crash Percentage by Total Fleet Widget


The Crash Percentage by Total Fleet widget provides a line graph showing the percentage of crashes that occurred in each time element across your fleet, depicting whether incidents increased or decreased over the date range. On the y-axis are percentage values, and along the x-axis are time segments; if you have left the Select Interval filter selection at its default of Last 12 Months, these will be the months of the year.



The Crashes by Severity Widget


On the Crashes by Severity tile, you will see a bar graph that offers a visual representation of how many crashes of each level of severity occurred per time segment. The y-axis shows the number of accidents, and the x-axis contains the same time periods as the Crash Percentage by Total Fleet tile (months, if you have left the Dashboard at its default time frame of Last 12 Months).



Each time element will have five bars of its own, representing the number of accidents of each level of seriousness/harm that occurred, using this color-coding:


  • : Very Light
     
  • : Light
     
  • : Moderate
     
  • : Heavy
     
  • : Very Heavy
