How to use the Optimizer Insights Report
What is the particular purpose of the Optimization Insights Report?
The Optimizer Insights Report gives you insights into your utilization improvements due to Optimizer usage.
The Optimizer Insights Report gives you an overview of your personal success story with the Optimizer.
The Report allows you to directly see how the Optimizer increased your utilization, how the Optimizer helped you to plan additional tickets, how drive times have shortened because of the Optimizer, how driving distances have shortened, and much more.
Who benefits most from the Optimization Insights Report?
These person groups can benefit most from the Optimization Insights Report: Managers.

What is the particular purpose of this report?
To gain an overview of all performed optimizations.
What information can you get out of this particular report?
Optimization iteration, Optimization start, Who performed the optimization, When the Optimization began to run, How long the optimization took, if the optimization has been canceled, the Utilization before the Optimization, and the Utilization after the Optimization.
What does all the information stand for and how to read it?
The start is displayed with the date and time.
The duration is displayed in minutes.
The utilization before and after is displayed in percent.
Which related reports might be considered to get a clearer/more detailed picture of the information?
The optimization drill-through dashboards: Optimization Details and Optimization Details Per Engineer.
How can the report be customized using filters?
You can filter by optimization date.
You can filter by optimization canceled.
You can filter by dispatch group or dispatch groups.
You can combine all four filters.
Drill-through functionality inside the Optimization Insights
You can drill through individual optimizations inside the Optimization Insights.
The drill-through feature allows you to gain detailed insights for dispatch groups and individual engineers due to individual performed optimizations.
There are currently two different drill-through dashboards available:
- Optimization Details
- Optimization Details Per Engineer
Here’s how to drill through a particular optimization from the above-mentioned dashboards:
- Right-click on an optimization.
- Click on Drill through.
- Select the dashboard that you want to analyze.
