The operational report is designed to provide an overview of trip performance based on specific events, which include arrival and drop-off occurrences for each trip. The figures presented in the report represent these events. A pick-up event can be categorized as either early or late, and the same applies to appointment time drop-off events. For return trips, only the pick-up event can be classified as early or late.
To run the report, you first need to set up the parameters (rules) for what is early or late or on time.
Setup Section:
- On Set up tab you have options for Appointment and Return trips, only Appt, or Only Return trips. choose what you want, and the items below will be available to set, or blacked out and not available to be used on report.

- On Appointment trips, you have more option for Appointment Time (drop off). same value options as above item.

Excess time refers to the duration that exceeds the early or late thresholds set on the Setup page. For instance, if you allow a grace period of 10 minutes for early arrivals, any arrival time that is more than 10 minutes early will be considered excess time. Therefore, if a trip arrives 11 minutes early, the excess time would be recorded as 1 minute over the allowed early threshold..
