Report Output and Data Elements

Report Output

The Availability by Customer and Class Report provides a comprehensive view of vehicle availability categorized by facility, customer, vehicle class, and specific vehicles. The report includes details such as vehicle ID, model, department, first status start date, and availability percentage. The output highlights both total possible and unavailable hours for each vehicle and aggregates these metrics by customer, allowing for targeted analysis of fleet utilization by customer and vehicle class.

Report Data Elements

About First Status Start Date. Availability is calculated from the vehicle’s status history. The First Status Start Date column shows when that history begins — the start of the first status record on the vehicle — so a vehicle that has been on file for years but only started tracking status recently shows the more recent date. This is expected; it does not mean the report dates are wrong. To review the underlying status changes, run Availability and Status Log by Vehicle.
