# Utilization -extension

The information collected from the machines can help to utilize the machinery better and optimize the number of machines.

Utilization -extension connects to a 3rd party solution, which collects telematics information from multiple OEM systems, such as Caterpillar VisionLink.

There are three things that need to be selected to create a report

* Date range
* Area
* Save destination

The Create a report -dialog is used whenever a report is needed, meaning that any of the given settings can be changed.&#x20;

#### Date range

The date range has two fields, From and To. The fields are automatically filled with date a day before, because it is not suggested to collect data from the same day.&#x20;

By clicking the From or To -fields it is possible to add the dates manually by typing. Clicking the calendar icon, opens a calendar where the date selection can be done.&#x20;

There are aso two preset -buttons; Yesterday and Last week. Last week automatically fills the date range the last full week.&#x20;

Select the wanted date range to collect the information.

{% hint style="info" %}
Data can only be collected from two weeks in the past.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

#### Filter by area

Three alternatives for the area filtering

* No filtering
  * No areal limitations, if the account consists machines from multiple worksites, all of them are included
* Use project boundary
  * Project boundary defined in Trimble Connect is used, and machines within that area will be included in the report.
* Draw an area
  * Allows user to draw a polygon on the map, which defines the area that is in interest.&#x20;

Select the option that the most suitable for the project.&#x20;

#### Save destination

Two options for where the report will be saved:

* Download the report&#x20;
  * Downloads the report to user's computer
* Upload the report to the project
  * Uploads the report directly to the project folder structure
  * User can choose in which folder it is uploaded to.

Choose the option that is desired and click **Create** to create the report. Creation may take several minutes, depending on the number of machines, date range and internet connection.&#x20;
