History Detail
The History Detail link provides access to view the actual dispatches that make up the original report. This is helpful when drilling down deeper than the original report provides.
Why History Detail Sometimes Doesn't Match Exactly
The history detail link is a great tool to drill to the lowest level when analyzing report data from L2L. Often times we get questions as to why the report doesn't match the history detail? The primary reason that the two don't match is due to the timeframe of the report. Let's say you run a downtime Pareto report for the past 7 days. It is very likely that there were open dispatches that overlapped your date ranges on both ends of the report date fields. With that said, the Pareto will show exact data for the timeframe you selected, however the history detail will show all information related to the dispatches that fall inside your report timeframe parameters. You may also find a discrepancy between the Time Pareto and the Dispatch Summary Report. You'll see that the Time Pareto minutes are not rounded, while the Dispatch Summary Report minutes are rounded. In addition, utilizing other custom report filters such as shelf time per day will also cause discrepancies between reports and their corresponding history detail as described above.
How The History Detail Report Is Helpful
Once you've drilled down and identified a problem you wish to dig into deeper, the history detail screen is a great way to view specific comments from the operator or technician, or see who are the subject matter experts so you can go gather more information from the source. It is also a great way to look for patterns or trends to help in identifying root causes.
Retrieving a Deleted Dispatch
Administrators in L2L can access the Dispatch History Report. Dispatch History Filters allow you to include Deleted Dispatches as well as only return Deleted Dispatch information. This filter is helpful when a Dispatch has been accidentally deleted and you can't remember the Dispatch #.

The data would be more useful to me if the report matched the history detail. Why not have it match?
