Projects By Status

Last updated: Feb 09, 2022

Projects By Status gives you insight on all projects and their individual status. You can see the overall progression of a project, how many projects are in a certain status, and the total numbers of projects in a specific status. The initial viewpoint comes in the form of a pie chart that provides a breakdown and visualization of the projects and their statuses. You can dive into the graph by selecting a specific part of the chart.

You can download the data and email reports to recipients.

Once inside a specific status from the pie chart, you are able to identify all projects currently in that status.

This information includes everything you would see within a project in the Projects Module.

Below is a quick reference guide regarding tracking numbers in Analytics, filtering, sorting, downloading data, and sending reports.

Tracking Numbers in Analytics

Throughout Analytics you can drill down into visualizations to see the underlying data. In most cases, the tracking numbers related to that data are listed. You can click the tracking number to navigate straight to the work order details in Service Automation.

Filtering Dashboards

On top of the report are all-inclusive filters to help you hone in on key data. All reports on the page are affected by the criteria set in these all-inclusive filters.

    2. To exclude criteria: select is not equal to, does not contain, does not start with, or does not end with.

      Is null depicts the absence of data in a data set. Conversely, is not null depicts the presence of data

    4. To add more options, click the plus sign (+) next to a field to add another option to the filter. The new option will appear as either an OR condition or an AND condition, depending on the type of filter option.
