# Project Analytics in Ontraccr

## **🧱 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
