Filters You Can Apply

Machine Name

Refine data to machine production data and surveyed surface data from a single or multiple assets. This filter lists every asset that has submitted production data to the project (using the name of the control box installed on each machine operating within the project boundaries).

Design Boundary

Refine data to any that exists within a single design boundary.

Note: These design boundaries must be imported or created as reference surface files and selected in the Project Files window.

Machine Design

Refine data to the on-machine design loaded onto a single asset that has submitted production data to the project. This filter shows data only while the design is loaded onto an asset. Any data regardless of location is shown for the selected machine design.

Note: The WorksOS Machine Design filter reads surfaces from Trimble Earthworks to accommodate more granular earthworks machine filtering. Trimble Earthworks machines that have a machine design and also a surface selected in the field reflect this in the Machine Design filters in WorksOS. The Machine Design filter options will be appended with the subselected surface name. Different surfaces loaded to the same existing machine design will appear as unique filter options, e.g., "DESIGNA_SURFACE1*", "DESIGNA_SURFACE2". This logic enables you to filter an individual Trimble Earthworks machine's productivity to a higher degree of accuracy.

Lift Number

Refine data to a single machine-defined lift by number, which can be a range of machine passes and elevations. This filter is available for any lifts that have been entered by an operator on a control box.

Elevation

Refine data to the series of cell elevations that make up the combined Highest, Lowest, First, or Last Pass for a specified area. This filter shows all cells at their highest, lowest, earliest, or latest set of elevations. Lowest pass is a good choice for excavator data to get an idea of the starting surface. If you specify a different area, the color key is recalibrated for the area.

Alignment

Refine data to an imported alignment of linework file using a defined Start and End Station Range and Left and/or Right Offset to filter data for. When these selections are populated, the Alignment filter includes data only within the selected spatial extent and excludes all other data. These settings help eliminate excess data when doing a roadway project.

Vibe State

Refine data to submitted data from CMV-enabled compactors that performed vibratory compaction (Vibe State On) or non-vibratory compaction (Vibe State Off).

Note: When this filter is active, all other machine data is excluded.

Machine Direction

Refine data to machines that were moving forward or in reverse.

Geofences/Custom Area

Refine data within geofences or to areas where you used the Draw tool to draw a polygon on the map to inspect data only within the area. Production data outside the boundary is excluded.

For more information, see Create a Custom Area below.

Pass Count

Refine data to a Min - Max pass count range. This filter is designed for compaction users who want to analyze quality qetrics data filtered by a pass count range without having to export and analyze the data outside of WorksOS. Filtering by pass count requires a lower and upper pass count range to be specified. You will see the data extents, which is the number of available passes to filter from within the range. You can set the filter to return quality metrics data such as temperature, CMV, speed, etc., from within that range. The Pass Count filter is applied after all other filters have been applied. This is done because the Pass Count filter interacts with and depends on other filters that have been applied to data.

Filtering by pass count looks at individual passes within each cell. In this example, your machine data comes from 4 cells (Cells A - D). You are interested in a pass count range of 3 to 4. As shown below, data from passes 1, 2, and 5 would be excluded while data from passes 3 and 4 would be included. Data from Cell C would be excluded while relevant data from Cells A, B, and D would be included:

Temperature

Refine data to a Min - Max asphalt temperature range. This filter is designed for asphalt compaction users who want to analyze quality metrics data filtered by a temperature range in their choice of units. Filtering by temperature range requires a lower and upper temperature range to be specified. You can set the filter to return quality metrics data such as pass counts, CMV, speed, etc., from within that range. The Temperature Range filter is applied after all other filters have been applied. This is done because the Temperature Range filter interacts with and depends on other filters that have been applied to data.

Automatics

Filter by Automatics filters machines when they have automatics engaged in their GCS or Earthworks Machine Control systems and when they do not. It can provide a starting point for efficiency measurements (for example, time using Automatics mode vs. time not using Automatics mode). Site managers and project foremen use this filter to check when operators engage machine control and/or to remove unnecessary production data.

When a machine is using Automatics mode, its blade, bucket, or drum automatically tracks work done to achieve the machine’s loaded design grade. Best practices for machine control often include using Automatics mode as often as possible.

The Automatics filter has Automatics On and Automatics Off selections that refine and return quality metrics data. Automatics On includes states such as Auto, Inactive Auto, etc., from machine control systems. When the filter is active, it excludes data from machines that do not have automatics configured (Undefined).

Excluded Elevations

Use the Excluded Elevations filter to specify the valid elevation band for your project. Machine data with elevations above or below this range will be excluded from calculations. This can help improve the accuracy of your material volumes. Filtered data is not deleted or otherwise purged. This setting is disabled by default.

On the left navigation bar, click the Map icon (map pin) and in the Elevations Quality Metric you will see your current Project Elevations range.

Click the Settings menu icon (gear) and select Exclude Elevations.

3. An Excluded Elevations slider dialog will appear on the right-hand side of the screen.

4. Enter the Minimum and Maximum Elevation range values (every elevation above and below this range will be excluded).

5. Click the Apply Elevations button.

6. To apply the Elevations Range to the data, toggle Turn On Elevation. The slider will close and the data will automatically update on the Dashboard, Activity Dashboard, Map, and Progress Volumes pages.

7. Review your model data without the elevations you filtered out.

Note: You can turn off Excluded Elevations by accessing the menu again and toggling it off.

Note: To see and analyze just the data that has been filtered out, switch back to the Elevations Quality Metric and toggle Excluded Elevations Only on.

On the right side menu, click the DDV tool icon to open the Detailed Data View.
Click a location on the map to pick a cell, and review raw data properties like what:
- machine collected the data
- design was loaded
- coordinate system was used
- the date and collection time was
- the GPS accuracy was

to see if changes need to be made in the field.

Click the DDV tool icon again to close the Detailed Data View.

Tip: If you see data that should have been included in calculations, go back to the Elevation Range filter and adjust the top and/or bottom elevations to re-add it.

To export the raw data (while still viewing excluded elevations), select More > Exports > Machine Passes.
To generate a summary report with a screen capture (while still viewing excluded elevations), select More > Reports > Summary. The exported data and reports can help you analyze and prevent the collection of data with invalid elevations in the future.

Note: When you are in excluded elevations, the export and report options will only pass the excluded elevation data. When you are not viewing excluded elevations, the export and report options will pass the elevation data (not including the excluded elevations). Be careful to be in the right mode when you are exporting data and creating reports.

Filtering your data by elevation range affects everywhere you see volumes, such as:

Dashboard volumes
Progress volumes

Tip: Use your Profile Viewer to check for elevation spikes in your data. On the right side of the Map View, click the Profile icon and pick two points on the map to create a line. If the profile along the line looks anything like this, you may have bad data that can be then excluded using the exclude elevations setting.
