OpenData
About
OpenData is a paid feature that enables TrackAbout customers to access a simplified, read-only view of their SQL database stored by TrackAbout.
Request Access to OpenData
Pricing
TrackAbout charges an for the extra management, maintenance, security and hosting of this feature.
- For TrackAbout clients with more than or equal to 50,000 assets the cost is $200 per month.
- For TrackAbout clients with fewer than 50,000 assets the cost is $100 per month.
If you're interested in being able to write your own SQL queries to retrieve TrackAbout data, please contact support@trackabout.com to sign up.
Please provide:
- Your company network's static IP address from where SQL queries will originate (see next section)
To get access to your OpenData database, you must first provide TrackAbout with a static IP address.
Your SQL queries must originate from this static IP address. If you are on a computer on your corporate network, then likely your queries will appear to TrackAbout to be coming from your static IP address.
The static IP address you give to TrackAbout will be added to your database's IP firewall. This will allow only your company to access the database.
If your are unsure whether your company has a static IP address, you will need to ask your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Most business-class Internet accounts include at least one static IP.
If you know your company has a static IP address, but you're not sure what it is, try the following:
- Be on a computer or device on your corporate network (wired or WiFi).
- Open a browser and Google What's my IP (or click that link, which will Google it for you).
Warnings
- If you provide us with an IP address, but it's not static, and it changes in the future, you will no longer be able to connect to OpenData.
- If your company changes Internet service providers in the future, or your static IP address changes for any reason, you will no longer be able to connect to OpenData. You must let us know what the new static IP address is.
- Most users of OpenData intend to automate data retrieval into some other local database. Make sure the computer that is doing the retrieval exits onto the Internet using the same static IP address.
Connecting to your Database
Once you are registered for OpenData, TrackAbout will communicate the following important connection details by email:
- Azure SQL Server network address
- Database name to connect to
- SQL username
- SQL password
Your database is hosted in Microsoft Azure SQL Database.
There are many tools that can connect to Azure SQL Database. We recommend Microsoft's SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). SSMS is a standalone, free product from Microsoft. Also see the article Azure SQL Database: Use SQL Server Management Studio to connect and query data.
How to Connect Using SQL Server Management Studio
Open the Connect to Server dialog.
Choose SQL Server Authentication from the Authentication dropdown.
Enter the provided username and password.
MUST DO: Click the Options button, then the Connection Properties tab and put your database name in the Connect to database field.
The connection will fail if you do not specify the database explicitly.
Click Connect
Expand the tree in Object Explorer. You should see the following:
Try a Query
Right-click on your database and select New Query
Try this query:
SELECT TOP 10 * FROM opendata.assets
You should get 10 rows back.
Limitations and Expectations
Allowed Connections
It is TrackAbout's expectation that customers will be connecting to their database only from within their company network from their known static IP address, and not from several different geographic locations having different IP addresses. We can work with you if you have several static IP addresses from where you wish to query, but we cannot support dynamic (changing over time) IP addresses, such as those provided to consumer-class or home Internet services.
Read-Only
The data views are read-only by design. You cannot write to this data. Writing is not a planned feature.
Query Volume
It is our expectation that you will not abuse the database by re-running very large or expensive queries frequently. The database platform has finite resources, and abuse will impact other users. TrackAbout will be monitoring usage and will throttle or slow down users who abuse their databases.
Local data caching (copying data to a local database or temporary table) is recommended if you need to re-query the same data repeatedly.
Acceptable Use
OpenData is intended to be used by a small handful of data professionals within your organization, generally to create reports, visualizations or other business intelligence value.
OpenData is NOT intended to be called from multiple devices, multiple geographic locations or apps, in general.
If you wish to use the data made available in OpenData more broadly, for example in a context like a mobile app, we recommend you extract the needed data on a periodic basis (and please be mindful of the load you may be creating), transform and load the data into another data system that is more appropriate for your use case.
Must Know - Dates are UTC
All dates in TrackAbout are stored in the Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) time zone. You likely will want to convert these times to the time zone of your business headquarters where you do your billing or reporting.
Microsoft added two very useful new commands to SQL that make time zone conversions easy. We highly recommend reading up on:
The Data Views (Tables)
OpenData presents a highly simplified view of the actual underlying TrackAbout database. A typical TrackAbout customer database contains over 400 tables. It's highly normalized, which means it's designed to reduce redundant data. This also makes it very complicated to understand and query without intricate knowledge of the design.
We've designed the OpenData views to greatly simplify the effort required to query the database. Not everything in the database can be found in OpenData. If there is data you need that's not found here, please contact us and we can look into adding the data you need.
We felt these views represented a reasonable starting point to offer to our customers, and we know we'll need to add to it over time.
opendata.Assets
This table contains a row for each unique, serialized (tagged) asset. The Assets table contains current (not historical) details about assets.
Common uses of this table include:
- Getting a count of all active or in-use assets
- Getting a count of all assets in a particular use state in a particular location
- Reporting on serialized assets currently at a particular customer or in a particular location
- Finding the current status of a single asset given a tag number (barcode, RFID, etc)
- Determining assets expiring soon
| opendata.Assets | |
|---|---|
| Column | Description |
| AssetId | Database-generated unique ID for each asset. |
| DBEnterDate | The date this asset was first introduced to the system. |
| HolderId | If an asset is currently delivered to a customer, this is the internal system ID of that customer. Join to Holders for customer details. |
| HolderStr | If an asset is currently delivered to a customer, this is the Customer ID of that customer. |
| LocationStr | If an asset is currently in-house (at an internal location), this is the Location ID of that location. |
| LocationName | If an asset is currently in-house (at an internal location), this is the name of that location. |
| TrackNum | The tracking number, also known as a tag, barcode or RFID tag unique ID. |
| CrossRef | The serial number of the asset. Usually this exists on the asset as an indelible stamp or etched into a name plate. See Serial Number for more information on how serial numbers might be scrubbed or transformed on the way into the database. |
| Status | Statuses are Active, Lost, or Retired. |
| AssetCatName | Asset Category Name as shown in TrackAbout. |
| AssetGroupName | Asset Group Name as shown in TrackAbout. |
| AssetTypeName | Asset Type Name as shown in TrackAbout. |
| ProductCodeName | Product code, part number, catalog number. |
| OwnershipName | Designated owner of the asset, full name. |
| OwnershipStr | If set in TrackAbout, this is the unique ID which is associated with the OwnershipName. May be blank. |
| UseState | As assets move through their various work flows, different Use States may be applied. The names vary by TrackAbout customer. |
| ExpirationDate_v1 | There are a few ways to store Expiration Date in TrackAbout. The first way we stored it (and still do for some customers) was as a value associated with an asset on a record stored in a table called RecAssetsSetExpirationDate. Values stored in that table are denormalized into the Assets table and stored in this field. Other customers may store Expiration Date in CustomAssetInfo, in which case the values will be found in a different table.
|
| AssetTypeId | Foreign key to the AssetTypes table.
|
| ProductCodeId | Foreign key to the ProductCodes table.
|
| IsAContainer | Indicates if this asset is a container asset. |
| IsPartOfAContainer | Indicates if this asset is inside a container. |
| IsAPack | Indicates if this asset is a Pack. A Pack is a group of uniquely registered assets that have been manifolded together. The system has information on BOTH the frame and the assets inside. |
| IsPartOfAPack | Indicates if this asset is inside a Pack |
| IsABundle | Indicates if this asset is a Bundle. A Bundle refers to a group of assets manifolded together in which ONLY the frame and product information are gathered, but there is no information pertaining to the individual assets. A bundle can be converted to a Pack when information is entered for the individual assets in the bundle. |
| LotNumber | Returns the current lot number for an asset. This may be a Ramp Lot (when lot numbers are generated through TrackAbout) or the lot number entered into TrackAbout when lot numbers are not generated or are collected through a vendor filling the asset. |
opendata.Records
Every transaction committed by an end user that affects assets creates a row in the Records and RecordDetails table. There is a many-to-one relationship between RecordDetails and Records. This is necessary because multiple users can act on a single record. The Record contains those facts about a record that do not change when multiple users act upon it. RecordDetails contains the facts that do change, like which user acted on the record and when.
Many users can append assets to a record after its initial creation. It's necessary to choose a single timestamp to represent when the record "happened". TrackAbout chooses the timestamp of the earliest action as the record date, or "RecDate".
About Records and Locations
In the early days of TrackAbout, we had just one Location associated with a record. This always represented the Internal Location (distribution center, plant, factory, etc) associated with a record. A different Records column held the Customer ID, if a customer was involved.
As TrackAbout evolved, we introduced the notion of Trucks. Trucks deliver assets to customers, and return assets back to internal locations.
We chose to model a Truck as another kind of Location. Branches, resellers, sales depots, suppliers and trucks are all different kinds of Locations stored in the Locations table.
Following this change, two locations could now be involved in a single transaction. Loading a truck moves assets from an internal location (distribution center, plant, factory) to a truck. Delivering assets moves assets from a Truck to a Customer (which is not a Location), but we still want to capture the originating location (plant, DC, etc) with the record.
A new table was added to capture the "OriginLocationId". For our OpenData offering, we are bringing both locations into the Records table. They will be called Location and OriginLocation.
- For a delivery, the OriginLocation will be the plant, DC, etc. The Location associated with the record will be the truck.
- For a Truck Load, the OriginLocation will be the plant, DC, etc. The Location on the record will be where the asset ended up -- on the truck.
- For a Truck Unload, the OriginLocation will be the truck. The Location on the record will be where the asset ended up -- the plant, DC, etc.

|
| LotNumber | If the record relating to this RecAssets row collected a Lot Number, then this column shall contain the Lot Number assigned to this asset on that specific record. If the record did not collect lot information, then this column shall contain NULL.
|
opendata.RecAssetsSetCustomAssetInfo
On any given record, custom asset info may be set by the user. This table contains those values that were set on a specific record at a specific point in time. This table therefore contains the historical record of all custom properties that have ever been set on assets.
You could derive the most recent or current asset properties from this table by looking at the most recent values set on each asset, but we have denormalized that data into CustomAssetInfo already. Use CustomAssetInfo if you want the asset properties as of "right now".
| opendata.RecAssetsSetCustomAssetInfo | |
|---|---|
| Column | Description |
| RecordId | System-generated ID of the Record, foreign key to the Records table.

Changes to Use States will be recorded in opendata.RecAssetsSetUseState.
The present value of an asset's Use State is denormalized in opendata.Assets.
| opendata.UseStates | |
|---|---|
| Column | Description |
| UseStateId | Primary key |
| TAGivenName | The TrackAbout-assigned name of this Use State. |
| ClientGivenName | The Client-assigned name of this Use State. |
| IsEmpty | If true, indicates that this use state indicates that the asset is empty. |
opendata.RecordFormData
TrackAbout's Dynamic Form module allows for custom workflows to be designed and deployed to mobile software. The fields on those custom forms may represent properties of a Record which acts ono assets, or they may be values that need to be propagated to the assets attached to the record.
If the data collected on a dynamic form is to be associated with the attached assets, that data will be replicated into the RecAssetsSetCustomAssetInfo table.
Record-only fields (fields not propagated to assets) will only be found here in this table.
| opendata.RecordFormData | |
|---|---|
| Column | Description |
| RecordId | System-generated ID of the Record, foreign key to the Records table.
|
| FormFieldId | A foreign key to a table that is not currently exposed in OpenData. Only useful for TrackAbout personnel. |
| FieldName | The label of the field as displayed on the dynamic form. |
| FieldValue | The value collected in this field by the user. |
| FieldSuffix | May contain a value indicating a unit of measure. |
| CustomAssetInfoTypeId | Foreign key to the CustomAssetInfoTypes table which contains definitions of all custom asset info types configured in your TrackAbout account. This column is provided so that you may exclude rows containing a value in the column in order to restrict your view to select only Record-level (not asset-level) fields.
|
opendata.RecordGeolocation
In addition to geolocation coordinates collected for each asset scan (found in RecAssets linking to the Geolocations tables), we collect one geolocation at the start of a record, and one at the end when the record is saved by the user. This table contains the IDs of those two readings to be found in Geolocations.
| opendata.RecordGeolocation | |
|---|---|
| Column | Description |
| Id | System-generated unique ID of this reading. |
| RecordId | The record on which the reading was taken. Foreign key to Records.
|
| GeolocationId | Foreign key to Geolocations table which contains the details of the reading.
|
| RecDetailId | Foreign key to which indicates which user caused the reading to be taken.
|
opendata.RecordPostFillAnalytes
In certain gas and chemical production, a chemical analysis is performed on the contents of a filled container. This view contains the details of the specific analytes under test. An analyte is a substance whose chemical constituents are being identified and measured. You may expect zero-to-many rows in this table for each Post-Fill test conducted.
| opendata.RecordPostFillAnalytes | |
|---|---|
| Column | Description |
| Id | System-generated primary key id for this row. |
| RecordId | Foreign key to the Records table. Analysis information is recorded at the Record-level and not the asset level, even though specific assets will likely be attached to this record. |

| ProductCodeId | The Product Code for the Analysis record. |
opendata.RecordSubActions
Every record has an action name, like "Locate", "Deliver", "Load Truck" or "Maintenance".
A record may also have one or more subactions. A subaction is commonly used in maintenance scenarios, where a single maintenance action performs several activities on one or more assets. Each activity is tracked as a subaction.
Because of the one-to-many relationship between a Record and its actions, a separate table is necessary to list the subactions that may exist on a single record.
| opendata.RecordSubActions | |
|---|---|
| Column | Description |
| RecordId | Foreign key to Records table. Links the record to this subaction.
|
| SubActionName | The name of the subaction performed. |

Frequently Asked Questions
- The data I need isn't in the OpenData tables. Can you add it?
- Not every TrackAbout customer needs the same data. We can work with you to add data to your tables.
- There's data in the tables I don't care about / I don't like the name of a table/column. Can you change it?
- To offer a service that can scale with customer growth, TrackAbout needs the OpenData tables to remain identical across all customers. Maintaining dozens of different database schemas would require raising the price significantly to cover the cost. This means you may have tables or columns you don't want or care about. With SQL, you can always query only the tables and columns you do care about, and ignore the rest. You can also rename columns in your result set.
- Why can't I log into my database from home?
- Please re-read the section of this page regarding static IP addresses. TrackAbout can only enable access to static (unchanging) IP addresses. Most home Internet accounts have dynamic IP addresses that change periodically. We cannot support dynamic IP addresses. You might try connecting to your work's VPN (if you have one). This might allow you to run queries from home.
