Your Samsara dashboard data is organized into multiple datasets. As you build custom reports, it will be helpful to understand which datasets are available and what kind of information each dataset contains.
The following table summarizes each available dataset and its default fields. Note that the default columns provide needed data, and removing a default column may cause the report to be unclear.
Dataset |
Description |
Reporting Limitations |
Default Fields |
---|---|---|---|
Addresses |
Gather information related to the addresses and geofences set up in your dashboard. |
None |
Name: The name given to the address. Address: The details of a specific location provided as a formatted address. Tag Name: The tags assigned to an Address Book entry. Geofence Type: The type of geofence used, either Normal, Yard, Risk Zone, or Alerts Only. |
Assets |
Analyze asset performance and status to help improve fleet efficiency. |
Report maximum time frame: 12 months (365 days) |
Name: The name given to the asset record. Tag: Name: The tags assigned to an asset. Last Known Location: The last known location of the asset. The location may be a geofence or an approximated street address. Distance: The total distance traveled in the reporting time frame, calculated by vehicle odometer readings when available or by GPS when odometer values are not available. Stops: The number of stops made within the reporting time frame. Start Odometer (GPS/ECU): The starting value on the odometer for the reporting time frame. End Odometer (GPS/ECU): The ending value on the odometer for the reporting time frame. |
Devices |
Monitor hardware manufactured by Samsara that collects data or controls an Asset. |
Model: The variant of the device (AG51, AT11, etc.). Device Serial: The unique serial number associated with the device. Type: The classification of the device (gateway, cameras, etc.). |
|
Drivers |
Evaluate driver activity and performance to help improve fleet safety and efficiency. |
Report maximum time frame: 12 months (365 days) |
Name: The name of the driver as set in the driver record. Tag: Name: The tags assigned to a driver. Safety Score: A calculated value used to measure driving behavior and performance in the reporting time frame. Eco Driving Score: A calculated value used to measure driving behavior and performance in the reporting time frame. Distance: The total distance traveled in the reporting time frame, calculated by vehicle odometer readings when available or by GPS when odometer values are not available. Deactivation Status: Indicates driver status - active or deactivated. Deactivated driver data is available for compliance reporting. NoteTo display active drivers only, add a filter while editing your report to exclude deactivated driver data. |
DVIRs |
Review DVIR submissions in your organization. |
Report maximum time frame: 3 months (92 days) |
Type: The type of DVIR submitted. Vehicle: Name: The name given to the asset record. Trailer: Name: The name given to the asset record. Driver: Name: The name of the driver as set in the driver record. Signed At: Timestamp indicating when the DVIR has been signed. Duration: The duration of the DVIR. Status: The status of the DVIR. |
HoS Logs |
Report on hours of service driving segments to help monitor compliance and improve fleet efficiency. |
Report maximum time frame: 3 months (92 days) |
Start Time: The time at which the hours of service driving segment began. End Time: The time at which the hours of service driving segment ended. Driver Name: The name of the driver as set in the driver record. Asset Name: The name given to the asset record. Duration: The amount of time between the start and end time period. HoS Status: The status of the asset or driver, if known. Off Duty, Sleeper Berth, Driving, On Duty, Yard Move, or Personal Conveyance are the available statuses. NoteYou may notice differences in the Sleeper Berth column when comparing standard reports to advanced custom reports. The difference is due to how each report handles time granularity. Standard reports round down durations to the nearest minute and do not display seconds. Advanced custom reports display durations with second-level granularity, providing more precise time values. For example, if a driver has a Sleeper Berth log of 43 seconds, standard reports will show 0:00, while advanced custom reports will display the full 0:00:43. This behavior is expected and reflects the increased precision available with advanced custom reports. |
HoS Unassigned Segments |
Asset: Name: The name given to the asset record. Asset: Tag: Name: The tags assigned to an asset. Start Time: The time at which the hours of service driving segment began. Duration: The total duration of the hours of service driving segment. Annotation: Engine Time: Previous Driver Name: Next Driver Name: |
||
HoS Violations |
Monitor and analyze hours of service violations across different violation types (including shift limits, missed breaks, and missing certifications), time periods, and individual drivers. |
Driver: Name: The name of the driver as set in the driver record Driver: Tag: Name: The tags assigned to the driver. Violation Type: The type of hours of service violation that occurred, including shift limits, missed breaks, and missing certifications. Start Time: The time of day when the violation first occurred. End Time: The time of day when the violation ended. Duration: The amount of time the driver was in violation. This period begins when the violation starts and ends either at the conclusion of the defined violation time window (for example, shift driving hours) or at the end of the day. For certain violations, such as unsubmitted logs, the duration may span the entire day. |
|
Idle Events |
Identify periods of idle activity to help monitor and improve fleet efficiency. |
Idle Event Duration: The total duration of the idle event. Idle Event End Time: The time at which the idle event started. Idle Event Start Time: The time at which the idle event ended. |
|
