How to Setup DirtMate Daily Emails

For sites set up with DirtMate, users can configure Daily Emails to be sent to a list of recipients. These emails include a summary of load and cycle data, a heatmap of the site's volume moved, and a chart showing the daily volume for the last seven days. Reports are limited to a single workspace and must be modified within that workspace. They can be sent at specific times, including 1 hour or 4 hours after the end of the workday.

Considerations

• Only one DirtMate Daily Email can be set up per site.

• Reports only include data available in the configured workspace.

• Multiple emails can be set up to accommodate different shifts or data needs.

DirtMate Daily Email Setup

DirtMate Daily emails can be configured through the OUTPUTS section, under the SCHEDULED REPORTS heading.

Create a new DirtMate Daily Email

Click DirtMate Daily Email to access the configuration options.

A new window will open on the side of the screen. 

Report Content

In this window, you can configure the data you want to include in the email.

Design Surface

If you want a design to be used for comparison in the daily emails, you should select it first. Once selected, the following summary metrics will include the option to compare to that design. 

Summary Metrics

The summary metrics are the first thing included in the daily email below the site information (for example, site name, date, etc.). This is a high-level summary of the work captured by DirtMate for the report time frame and can be customized based on the site's needs. 

Note that smart cycles will only report for scrapers, and truckloads will only report for trucks unless configured separately. If a design was selected during configuration, cut or fill to design can also be selected as a summary metric alongside cut or fill progress. 

• Volumes per area
• Machine activity

Additionally, the following report settings can be enabled or disabled in the daily email with no further configuration: 

Weekly Volume Chart

The weekly Volume Chart shows the trend of daily surface changes tracked in propeller through the last 7 days. Days marked with * indicate that a drone survey was conducted during this period. Volume spikes may occur.

Additional Volume Areas

For any polygon measurement created in Propeller, the DirtMate Daily Emails can use those areas as specific reports of volume moved. Multiple areas can be selected in this section, and the option to compare to design will appear alongside the option to report on progress if a design is selected. Further, the report can be configured to only report on cut or fill in these areas if desired based on the type of work tracked by DirtMate in these areas.

Note: Any changes to the selected areas in Propeller will impact the data sent in the reports. 

Volume Heatmap

The volume heatmap will display where surface changes (cut or fill) have occurred on the site during the report time frame. No quantities are specifically associated with this heatmap, but it allows a qualitative view of where work took place. 

Machine Trail Map

The Machine Trail map indicates where machines have traveled over the report time frame and shows their park-up location at the end of the day.

Machine Activity

The Machine Activity section includes a configurable table of all selected metrics for machines working on the site during the report time frame. Users can select from the following list of metrics to include.

Consider the following when choosing these metrics to include in the machine activity table:

• Machine Load Time
  • Machine load time is only generated by default for trucks. 
• Smart Cycles
  • Smart cycles will only be generated by default for scrapers.
• Truck Loads
  • Truck loads will only be generated by default for trucks.
  • All refinements visible to the workspace where this daily email has been generated will be used for the report (for example, loading machines, load, and dump zones). 

Once you finish configuring your report, click EDIT SCHEDULE.

Now, you can create an email schedule and add recipients. Once done, click SAVE.

Edit DirtMate Daily Email

If you want to edit an email, you can do so at any time. From the OUTPUTS section, under the SCHEDULED REPORTS heading, click on DirtMate Daily Email.

Make the changes you want and click SAVE.

The next window provides options to EDIT CONTENT, EDIT SCHEDULE, or DEACTIVATE REPORT.

DirtMate Daily Emails efficiently keep teams informed about site activity by delivering key insights on load and cycle data, volume changes, and machine activity. With the ability to configure multiple reports for different shifts and data needs, users can ensure that relevant information reaches the right people at the right time. Whether setting up a new report or modifying an existing one, the flexible scheduling and customization options make it easy to tailor reports to specific project requirements.
