Replay a Project with Game Tape

What is this?

Game Tape replays how the assets on a project moved. You select a day and a time window. Clue then plays the GPS points of all the assets on one clock, on the project map.

You can see a full shift in a few minutes. Game Tape uses only GPS points. The project does not need production setup.

Who's this for?

Game Tape helps the people who plan and run the job.

• Project managers, see how the job ran during a shift and where the machines waited.
• Superintendents and foremen, check which machines worked, and in which area of the site.
• Equipment managers, check when a machine moved, how fast it went and when it stopped.

How to use it

Step 1: Open the project's Game Tape

Go to Track Everything and click a project. In the project panel, click the Game Tape icon at the top.

The project panel in Organization > Projects has the same icon.

Step 2: Read the page

The page opens on today, for the project shift. The list on the left shows the assets of the project. The map shows each asset with its name.

Step 3: Play the replay

Click the Play button at the bottom left. All the assets move on one clock. Click the button again to pause.

Click 10x, 60x or 300x to change the speed. Click the timeline to go to a different time. Each asset leaves a trail. The trail color shows the speed.

Step 4: Check an asset

Put the pointer on an asset on the map. A card shows the asset name, the make and model, and the time. It also shows Moving or Stopped and the speed.

A red wrench shows an open breakdown. Its work order shows above the card. Click the asset to open its details.

Step 5: Follow one asset

Click an asset name in the list. The map follows that asset. Click the name again to stop.

Clear the check box of an asset to remove it from the map. Click Hide All or Show All to change all the assets.

Step 6: Filter by asset type

Click Asset Type and select one or more types. Turn on Production Assets Only to show only the production assets.

Step 7: Change the day and the time

Click the date to select a different day. Click Week or Custom to replay more days, up to 7 days. Change From and To to replay a part of the day.
