====Asset States====

The utilisation system works by calculating what **state** your assets have been in during the period you're analysing.

You can create your own unique set of states for your applications. Examples include...

  * Running
  * Stopped
  * Delayed
  * Unavailable
  * Loading
  * Unloading etc.

The utilisation system will tell you how much of the day, when, and optionally //where// these have happened.

===Secondary / Detailed Status===

The utilisation system allows you to set up a 'secondary' or 'detailed' status. This provides more context about the status.

For example, a 'Running' status might include //where// a mobile asset was running ('Running:Loading Bay'), //how hard// it was running (ie. 'Running:Light') etc.

A 'Delay' status might include the //type// of delay (ie. 'Delayed:Power Loss') or the root cause ('Delayed:Human').

The secondary status provides the opportunity for much deeper analytics.
