Reports

The CMX analytics reporting provides a more regular, manager-oriented set of information through the provision of parameterized templates to measure various common trends and patterns that occur over time in the building.

This section describes the report templates provided and the parameters they take in order to tailor them to the building information required. This chapter contains the following sections:

Detected vs. Connected Devices

The detected vs. connected devices report shows an overview of the number of devices that were connected to the network. This report shows those devices that were merely connected during a given time period for a particular zone.

See the Configuring Detected vs. Connected Devices on the Selected Zone for more information.

  • Distribution image showing the distribution of devices on the floor.

 

Device Count and Dwell Times By Day

The device count and dwell times by day report compares the number of devices in different dwell time categories for the same time period across consecutive days for a particular zone. The dwell time ranges provided in this report template are:

  • Less than 5 minutes (passing through)
  • 5-45 minutes (short term customers)
  • 45 minutes - 2 hours (long term customers)
  • Greater than 2 hours (staff)
  • All devices detected

  • From the Date from drop-down list, choose the start date.
  • From the Date to drop-down list, choose the end date.
  • From the Zone drop-down list, choose the zone you want to reference as a zone of interest

Step 3 Click Run Report.

The device count by time of day report is displayed in the right pane.

 

Device Count by Zone

The device count by zone report shows device counts for all zones in a given building for a predefined set of time period on a given day. This report shows device passing through and those staying for a significant time within the particular zone.

See Configuring a Device Count by Zone section for more information.

Configuring a Device Count by Zone

To configure a device count by zone report, follow these steps:

Step 1 Click the Reporting tab from the left pane.

Step 2 From the Select Report Type drop-down list, choose Device Count by Zone.

  • From the Date drop-down list, choose the date for which you want the report to be generated.
  • From the Building drop-down list, choose the building on which you want to run the analysis.

Step 3 Click Run Report to view a graph of devices that are passing through or staying within the zone. The difference between device passing through or staying is determined by the amount of dwell time the device spends in that zone (5 minutes is the current cutoff time between passing and staying devices).

 

Dwell Times by Time of Day

The dwell times by time of day report shows for how the average dwell time changes over time in a given zone. The duration is measured every 15 minutes and the average is taken. This report excludes extremely short or long dwell time to give more balanced result.

See Configuring Dwell Times by Time of Day Report section for more information.

Configuring Dwell Times by Time of Day Report

To generate a dwell times by time of day report, follow these steps:

Step 1 Click the Reporting tab from the left pane.

Step 2 From the Select Report Type drop-down list, Choose Dwell Times by Time of Day.

Step 3 From the Date drop-down list, choose the start date.

Step 4 From the Time from drop-down list, choose the start time.

Step 5 From the Time to drop-down list, choose the end time.

Step 6 From the Zone drop-down list, choose the zone point.

Step 7 Click Run Report.

 

Movement Between Zones

The movement between zones report provides a breakdown of all zones at specific points as devices passes to and from the focus zone. This report gives the following information:

  • The zone where the device was first detected
  • The intermediate zone through which the device passes
  • The immediate zone before and after where the device was last detected

Configuring Movement Between Zones

To configure movement between zones, follow these steps:

Step 1 Click the Reporting tab from the left pane.
