🧱 Project Analytics in Ontraccr
 

Build Pre-Filtered Dashboards for Any Project

Ontraccr’s Project Analytics feature allows you to generate dashboards and reports specifically filtered to a given project. This is ideal for project managers and operations leads who want centralized visibility into cost, time, and productivity metrics for a specific job or contract.


📍 Where to Find Project Analytics

  1. Navigate to the Projects page.
  2. Click on any individual project.
  3. Switch to the Analytics tab.

This area lets you:

  • Create project-specific dashboards
  • Build reports that are auto-filtered by project
  • Combine time, board, and form data into a single view

🛠️ Creating Dashboards for Projects

Step-by-Step:

  1. Go to the Analytics tab in any project.
  2. Click New Dashboard.
  3. Use the edit pencil icon to rename it (e.g., Project Performance Overview).
  4. Click Edit → Add Widget to insert analytics.

Widgets must be created from reports built in this project context.


📊 Creating Reports for Projects

Click the Reports button to build project-specific analytics.

Available Sources:

  • Time Cards
  • Boards
  • Forms

These sources are nearly identical to the Analytics Page, but are automatically filtered to the current project.


Time Cards (Project-Filtered)

  • Field: Hours Worked
  • Breakdowns: User, Hour Type, etc.
  • Display Types: Bar, Line, Table, Number
  • Use Case: Total hours worked on the project by user or cost code

Boards (Within the Project)

  • Select any board used within the project (e.g., Estimating, Service Tracker)
  • Configure reports using standard metrics like:
    • Number of Cards
    • Time in Status
    • Conversion Rates
    • New Cards in Status
  • Add custom field analytics (e.g., total quoted value, equipment hours)

Forms (Project-Specific Submissions)

  • Choose any relevant form used on the project (e.g., FLHA, Work Orders)
  • Use standard “Number of Submissions” report
  • Configure custom field-based analytics (e.g., most reported hazards, incident logs)

🔁 Dashboard Reuse Across Projects

Once you create a dashboard inside any project:

  • It becomes available across all projects
  • You only need to build it once
  • Each project will display its own data using the same dashboard layout

✅ This makes Project Analytics ideal for standardized performance reporting across jobs.


🧠 Use Case Example: Cost & Billing Snapshot

Create a dashboard showing:

  • Total labor cost (via time cards)
  • Total equipment/material cost (via form data)
  • Total billed (via board field)
  • Calculate profitability visually

Result: A single screen showing what’s been billed vs. what’s been spent on the project.


⚠️ Important Notes

  • Reports created here are not visible from the main Analytics page
  • Only reports built in the project's Analytics tab can be added to that project’s dashboards
  • Each report is already scoped to that project—no need to manually filter
