Dashboard Calculations and Values
Period
Displays the default or selected time period. All time entries for the period are displayed in the list below. To update the period, navigate to the list and apply a date filter to update to the desired date range. Refer to Using Filters.
Total Hours
The total hours section in the Productivity Dashboard displays a summary of hours for the period.
- Actual - the accumulated hours for the period, which includes all non-draft time entries, and submitted and invoiced time entries.
- Expected - defined by your FYI Admin in your user profile. The expected hours are entered in a weekly format and reflect the period up to the current date. For example, if the weekly expected hours are 37.5 and you are viewing the productivity dashboard on a Thursday, the Expected hours would display as 30.
- Missing - the difference between actual and expected up to the current date.
Draft
The draft section in the dashboard displays all timesheets that are not yet submitted for the period.
Productivity
The productivity section displays a summary of actual hours compared to the target hours for the period, displayed as a percentage.
-
Actual - displays actual chargeable time and is calculated by dividing the chargeable time entries, by the target less capacity reducing time entries.
- Target - set by your FYI Admin in your user profile. This is entered as a percentage and is the expected productivity for each user.
- Variance - the difference between actual and target. Where the actual is less than the target, the variance will display in red and where the actual is greater, the variance will display in green.
Displaying the Graph
The Productivity Dashboard can be displayed in a graphical format by clicking the Graph button in the top right-hand corner.
The pie graph displays hours by time type, based on the time entries in the list and includes Chargeable, Non Productive and Capacity Reducing.
Hover over a section in the pie graph to display the total hours for the time type.
Click a colour in the graph to immediately filter the list below by those hours only. Click on another colour to view those hours, or to remove the filtering, click the white space just outside the graph.
To remove the graph from the Productivity Dashboard, click the Graph button again. It will be greyed out and the graph no longer displays.
