Overview

The Generator report uses only the last 7 days of data prior to visit to derive its “origin” points. Thus, is a lower fidelity version of the common evening or daytime resting locations found in the CEL/CDL reports. The primary use case is for tourist locations, to derive something like a hotel a visitor was staying in the evenings as opposed to their home markets. Another advantage is that this report generally will have a higher coverage of origin points than the traditional CEL reports due to the lower bar to create that origin point.

FAQ

When do I use a Generator report, as opposed to a Common Evening Location / Common Daytime Location report?

A Generator report would be most useful when analyzing behaviors in a tourist town, where something like a hotel would be a device’s “home” for a preceding 7 days, as opposed to their actual CEL.
