Read your weigh-in report

A saved weigh-in report is the record of what was on the scales that day, what was linked to it, and whether this record is the one driving your current numbers. You reach it under More -> Weigh-In, then tap a record to open it. Think of it as a reference you keep, not a pass-or-fail certificate. It does not re-judge your rig or re-run the rules for you. It shows you what you measured, what those readings meant against your limits on the day, and what has moved since. From there you decide whether to act.

​

Open a saved record

Your weigh-in history lives under More -> Weigh-In. The hub lists every saved weigh-in for the active vehicle. The one currently in use, your active baseline, sits apart from your older history records, so you can tell at a glance which record loadmate is working from right now. Tap any record to open its detail view. Everything below describes what you will see on that screen, top to bottom.

​

Read the header

The top of the report tells you what this record is before you read a single weight:

• the date you weighed
• your reference, the label you typed when you saved it, such as the weighbridge and the month
• an Active baseline or Historic badge
• method and configuration badges, showing whether it was a weighbridge or mobile-weigher visit and whether the rig was hitched, separate, vehicle only, or trailer only

Only one saved weigh-in drives the baseline at a time. The active baseline is the record loadmate treats as your measured ground truth; every other record stays in your history as a readable reference you can revisit at any time. Keeping older records is deliberate, so you can look back at an earlier measurement without overwriting the one you rely on now.

​

Measured values

This section shows the readings exactly as you entered them from your ticket or report. They are grouped by context so they are easy to scan: your vehicle on its own and hitched, your caravan on its own and hitched, and the combined total. Depending on what you recorded, you will see the gross weight, the axle split, and the coupling weight. The coupling weight is shown in your regional term, as tow ball mass (AU), nose weight (UK), or tongue weight (US), and all values use your regional units, kilograms in AU and the UK, pounds in the US. The labels match the way your weighbridge or mobile weigher reported them, so the screen reads like your paperwork.

​

The frozen compliance snapshot

A newer record may also show a compliance snapshot: a picture of how your measured values sat against your limits on the day you saved it. Each limit shows a Within, Close, or Over status. Close means a measurement was within about 10% of that limit, a gentle heads-up rather than a problem. This snapshot is kept exactly as recorded, and deliberately not recalculated later. The reason matters. The whole point of a saved weigh-in is to be a faithful picture of one moment on the scales. If loadmate re-ran the numbers every time your limits or loads changed, the record would quietly drift away from what actually happened that day, and you would lose the reference you keep it for. So the snapshot stays frozen at the values it held when you saved it. Your live, up-to-date compliance picture lives elsewhere, under Compliance. That is the one to read when you want today’s position. This snapshot is the historical one. Not every record has a snapshot. Older or imported weigh-ins may not include one, and when a record does not hold that information the section simply does not appear. The report shows the snapshot when it has one and stays out of the way when it does not.

​

Loads on the scales

This section lists the loads you marked as physically on the scales when you weighed. These are the loads that were baked into your measured baseline, so from that day on they stop counting as drift, the measure of how far your current load has moved from what you actually weighed. Each linked load shows its current weight alongside the snapshot weight captured at the weigh-in. If the two differ, you can see at a glance that a load was edited since you weighed, which is useful when you are deciding whether the baseline still reflects what you carry today. Any files you attached when saving, such as a photo of the scale display or a copy of your ticket, appear as chips you can open from the record.

​

What has changed since a previous weigh-in

When you have more than one record, the report helps you see what has shifted since an earlier weigh-in. This is change framing, not a verdict. It is not telling you that you have done anything wrong or that you are over a limit; it is simply showing you where your loaded weights have moved compared with an earlier weigh-in. A larger shift is not a red light. It is a prompt to take a fresh look. You read the change, then you decide whether it is time to weigh again or to adjust how you are packed.

​

Actions on a record

From an open record you can do four things, each of which changes your own data:

• edit the weigh-in to correct a measured value
• edit only its linked loads without re-entering every weight
• set an older record as the active baseline
• delete a record that should not have been saved

Each action prompts you before it changes anything, because setting a new baseline or deleting a record affects the numbers loadmate shows you afterwards. These are Pro writes. For the full story of what changing or re-weighing your loads does to your numbers after a weigh-in, see After your weigh-in.

When to weigh again

A saved report is most useful as a check. Open your latest record, confirm whether it is marked as the active baseline, then read the change view and the linked loads before you change anything. If the changes since your last weigh-in look large, or your loadout has moved on from what was on the scales that day, the practical next step is to weigh again and save a fresh record, then set it as your active baseline. There is no exact number that means “too far”; how much drift matters depends on how close you were to your limits and how your rig is packed. When in doubt, a fresh weigh-in is the safe move. After your weigh-in walks through the full guidance, and Record a weighbridge weigh-in covers capturing a new one.
