Overview

The Analytics View provides task related data in easy to digest infographics. Charts are automatically updated with the most recent data every 15 minutes, so you don’t have to worry about recreating reports or pulling new information.

Performance Analytics Overview Statistics

The Overview section of the Analytics View shows the main stats related to tasks in that Folder or Project. Click on metrics within the section to see a list of tasks that fall within that category. In the Overview section you can see:

  • Task Digest: includes a pie chart which shows tasks in the Folder or Project grouped by either status or due date. This section also includes data regarding the number of unassigned, important, and overdue tasks.
  • Milestones: shows the date for your next milestone as well as a counter of how many upcoming milestones you have.
  • Task Duration: shows a sum of durations for planned tasks in the active status.
  • Tracked Time: displays how much time has been tracked for tasks in the Folder or Project.
  • Conflicts: shows any dependency related conflicts in the Folder or Project. For example, if a dependent task is scheduled to finish after its Milestone, a warning appears in the conflicts section.

Performance Chart

The Performance Chart shows a breakdown of tasks by scheduled dates or status and is helpful for identifying peak and low productivity periods. On the left side of the chart you can see a breakdown of tasks by date 1, or use the graph to the right to see an overview of tasks over time. Task categories shown on the chart include:

  • All tasks.
  • Planned tasks: tasks with a future scheduled date.
  • Due by this date: task which are due on the given date (or earlier).
  • Total completed: tasks with a completed status.
  • Completed (excl. backlog): tasks with a completed status, backlogged tasks are excluded.

Baseline Chart

The Baseline Chart compares tasks' current scheduled start and end dates to start and end dates tasks had on the date you specify. On the Baseline Chart, tasks are represented as bars which stretch from the tasks schedule start to end dates. Each task has two bars: the one on top appears in a solid color and represents the task’s current scheduled dates while the one on bottom has stripped diagonal lines and represents the task’s original scheduled dates. Task bars appear in one of five colors on the Baseline Chart:

  • Active tasks are blue.
  • Overdue tasks are red.
  • Completed tasks are green.
  • Cancelled tasks are grey.
  • Deferred tasks are purple.

Work Progress Chart

  • Completed

  • Deferred
