Purpose

The Notification History Report gives an overview of notifications that have been sent to TransportTracking™ application users during the date range and time periods selected on the Report Criteria page for the selected campus. It is an easy way to see the number of notifications or alerts that were sent about a specific job or transporter.

Note: See About the Report Data for restrictions concerning users and beds that appear on the report.

Report Parameters

If the report is in .pdf format, then criteria selected when the report was being generated appear under Report Parameters. An example is the name of the campus selected when the report was generated.

About the Report Data

For base unit, only notifications and alerts about jobs or employees associated with the selected campus appear on the report. If a job's origin or destination location is within a campus, then the job is associated with the campus. If an employee's base unit is within the campus, then the employee is associated with the campus.

If the report is in unformatted .xls format, then data appears in simple rows and columns and is not totaled, summarized, or grouped. This format is suitable for performing your own calculations and analysis.

Data is sorted in one of the following ways, depending on sort selections made when the report was generated:

Date Sent—In chronological order, by date and time that the message was sent.
Employee—Alphabetically, by last name of the employee whom the message concerns.
Recipient—Alphabetically, by last name of the employee or supervisor who received the message.
Job ID—In numeric order, by the identification number of the transport job.
Type—Alphabetically by the type of message.
