# Project Status Report

## **📈 Project Status Report**  
 

The **Project Status Report** in Ontraccr provides a labor-focused snapshot of how each project is progressing against its estimated hours. It's designed to help managers track labor costs and project health in real time — but it **does not include materials, overhead, or equipment costs**.

## **📍 Accessing the Report**

1.  Go to the **Reports** section via the sidebar.
2.  Click **Reports** again to open the main reporting page.
3.  Select **Project Status** from the list of standard report templates.

## **🧭 What This Report Displays**

This report focuses exclusively on **labor tracking** and includes the following columns:

-   **Project Phase**
-   **Cost Code**
-   **Estimated Hours** (pulled from the **Budget** page)
-   **Actual Hours** (pulled from the **Progress** page)
-   **Remaining Hours** (calculated automatically)
-   **Percentage of Hours Used**

Each row represents a phase or cost code under a project, allowing you to quickly compare what's been used against what was budgeted.

## **⚙️ Filters & Toggles**

You can configure the report view by using the following filters:

-   **Project**:
    -   View all or select specific jobs
-   **Phase**:
    -   Focus on a particular section of the project (e.g., “Level 1 framing”)
-   **Cost Code**:
    -   Isolate tasks like “Excavation,” “Drywall,” etc.
-   **Date Range**:
    -   Choose by **pay period**, **week**, or **custom date range**

Example use case: “Show me all excavation tasks across all projects that have passed 80% of estimated labor.”

## **📌 Important Notes**

-   This report is strictly **labor-only** — no materials, equipment, or overhead are included.
-   Data is driven by:
    -   **Estimated Hours** = Project budget setup
    -   **Actual Hours** = Time submitted and approved
-   Use this to **track project burn rate** and **spot at-risk tasks or phases early**.

## **🧠 Common Scenarios**

-   A manager wants to see how close a crew is to exhausting their hours on **Level 2 Drywall**.
-   Finance needs to **verify labor allocation** for billing or forecasting.
-   A project coordinator reviews this report weekly to **catch projects over budget** in labor before it's too late.
