The projects dashboard displays a line graph that represents the labour and material costs of active jobs and invoiced amounts over the past 12 weeks.
Labour costs are applied to the graph when the schedule or contractor work order is created, while material costs are applied when the materials are assigned to an active job. Invoice values are applied to the graph when the invoice is issued. When a job is completed or archived, all values relating to that job are deducted from the graph values.
You can print or download the graph by clicking the list icon in the top right.
On the right you can view a list of active jobs that have you as the assigned Project Manager or Salesperson, or a list of active tasks that you are assigned to. If an employee is both a Salesperson and a Project Manager, they only see jobs they are assigned to as Project Manager. If the employee is a Salesperson and not a Project Manager, they see jobs they are assigned to as Salesperson.

The sales dashboard displays a pie chart of jobs by cost centre on the left and a graph of monthly sales targets and total invoiced amounts on the right.
Jobs by Cost Centre |
Each section of the pie chart represents a cost centre that has associated jobs. Hover over a section to see both the number and percentage of jobs. If a job has multiple cost centres, each of those cost centres are counted in the chart. The top cost centres with the highest number of jobs are displayed in the chart. If you have more than 12 cost centres, the cost centres that make up the top 80% of your sales are named, and the remaining 20% are labelled as Other. |
Sales Target - (Month) |
The grey bars represent the monthly target budget for each cost centre excluding tax, while the red bars represent the total sum of all invoiced amounts for the current month for that cost centre, also excluding tax. To switch between the total view and the individual cost centre view, click a bar in the graph. Unapproved requests for claim are not included, but voided invoices are included in the calculations, which offset the original invoice if they are within the same month. |
