Equipment Charge Timeline

What is this?

The Equipment Charge tab shows a visual timeline of every piece of equipment, where it was, what it was doing, and how much it cost. Each day is a colored block: green for Working, orange for Standby, purple for In Yard, blue for In Transit. Click any block to see the rate breakdown.

How to use it

Step 1: Open Equipment Charge

Go to Rates > Equipment Charge. The timeline shows equipment grouped by project/location, with daily charge blocks across the date range.

Step 2: Change the time view

Switch between Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Quarterly views. Use the date picker to select a specific range.

Step 3: View charge details

Hover over any colored block to see the charge breakdown: rate factor, rate code, daily rate amount, operating cost, and total.

Step 4: Edit a charge

Click a charge block to edit it. Change the date range, project, rate per day, rate factor, or charge method (5-day, 6-day, 7-day, or one-off).

Filtering and grouping

Use Filters to narrow by organization, project, crew, asset type, product class, geofence, or ownership (owned/rented/leased).

Use Data Structure to control how the timeline is grouped: by Project and Asset, or add Sub-Organization, Asset Type, and Product Class levels.

Tips

• Use the Monthly view for invoicing. It rolls up daily charges into monthly totals per project.

• Check the charge method. 5-day is standard for most contractors. 7-day applies when equipment runs weekends.
