Read the Results
Each row is one tag and the equipment it's attached to.
| Column | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Warranty Status | EXPIRED (in red) or OK. |
| Equipment Tag | The tag ID, as printed on the tag's label. |
| Equipment | The equipment the tag is attached to. If it shows the tag ID, the equipment was never given its own name. |
| Age | How old the tag is (for example, 1y 327d means 1 year, 327 days). |
| Last Heard From | How long ago any tracker last picked up this tag (for example, 48m, 1d 1h 3m or 5y 67d). |
| Last Known Container | The warehouse, vehicle or job site the tag was in the last time it was heard. |
| Last Known Address | The street address of that last known spot. |
What "Unknown" Age Means
An Age of Unknown means Overview doesn't have a start date on record for that tag, usually because it was set up before tag dates were tracked. Most of the time, this data can be backfilled upon request. Please email overviewcustomerservice@overview.com for requesting tag age data be backfilled.
IMPORTANT Last Known Container is where the tag was last heard, not necessarily where it is now. A tag that hasn't been heard from in years may still show a warehouse. Always check Last Heard From alongside it. |
