Dashboard Widgets from Saved Exports

📊 Dashboard Widgets from Saved Exports
 

Embed Time Tracking & Form Reports Directly Into Custom Dashboards

Ontraccr allows you to turn any saved export — whether it's from time tracking or forms — into a dashboard widget. This makes it easy to monitor report data at a glance, click into individual submissions, and consolidate operational insights into one visual dashboard.


📍 Where to Access

  1. Navigate to the Dashboard section from the sidebar.
  2. Either:
    • Click Add Dashboard to create a new one, or
    • Open an existing dashboard and click Edit
  3. Click Add Widget
  4. Choose:
    • Time Tracking Export
    • Form Export

🧭 What You Can Embed

You can add any saved export that was created using:

  • Settings > Time Tracking > Exports
  • Settings > Forms > Exports

These widgets allow you to:

  • View filtered report data live
  • Click directly into linked submissions (e.g., time cards or forms)
  • Filter based on user/project/time range right from the dashboard

⚙️ Widget Configuration Options

When adding a widget, you can:

  • Select which export template to use
  • Give the widget a title (e.g., “Safety Forms This Week”)
  • Choose default filters (e.g., last 7 days, specific division)
  • Rearrange or resize the widget on the dashboard layout

🔍 Live Data & Interactivity

Each widget:

  • Reflects up-to-date data
  • Includes clickable links to view:
    • Full form submission
    • Full time card record (including details and source form if applicable)

This removes the need to leave the dashboard to investigate entries.


🧠 Common Use Cases

  • Field Operations Dashboard:
    • Embed daily logs, hazard reports, and service job time cards
  • HR/Compliance Dashboard:
    • Show expired/expiring certifications or safety incidents
  • Payroll Dashboard:
    • Embed weekly time tracking exports for quick wage audits
