Introduction
The Input trigger parameter indicates which IO parameter triggered the creation of a specific record. Each value in this field corresponds to an IO ID from the FMIO Parameter List.
Understanding Input trigger is essential when analysing raw data, for example when diagnosing high data consumption or verifying which events generate records.
💡 Tip: Only parameters that support and are configured with Event on Change or Hysteresis can trigger records.
1 Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure to export the record data for your object in an Excel file:
Go to the "Fleet Status" module
Select the object from the list
Click on the "History" tab
Click on the "Analyze by coordinates" button
Once you see the "Analyze by coordinates" data check do the following:
Select the date range for which to extract the data
Click on the "XLS" button beside the date range
Wait until the file download will appear
You will now have the full record data for the object for the selected period.
2 How to Find the Input Trigger Value
2.1 Open the Raw Data Report
Access the record data .xls file and locate the Input trigger column.
The values in this column represent the IO ID of the parameter that triggered each record.
2.2 Look Up the IO ID
Open the FMIO Parameter List.
Search for the IO ID value you found in the Raw data report.
The matching entry will tell you which parameter triggered the record.
2.3 Example
In the screenshot below, the records were triggered by Time and Movement sensor:
3 What Can Trigger a Record
A parameter can only trigger a record if it meets both of the following conditions:
The parameter supports event-based triggering.
The parameter is configured with Event on Change or Hysteresis in the device configuration.
⚠️ Warning: If a parameter with Event on Change changes frequently (e.g. Movement sensor), it can generate a large number of records and lead to high data consumption.
