Building reports and dashboards

6 min read

Reports give you a live view of how your work is going — total tasks, completion trends, hours logged, overdue items, and more. You build them by dragging widgets onto a dashboard. No SQL, no spreadsheets.

A Reports dashboard — KPIs on top, trend charts below.

Creating your first dashboard

  1. 1

    Go to Reports in the sidebar.

  2. 2

    Click 'New dashboard' and give it a name (e.g. 'Q2 Performance').

  3. 3

    Pick an icon — it'll show up in the sidebar for quick access.

  4. 4

    Optionally limit the dashboard to specific boards. Leave empty to include all accessible boards.

  5. 5

    Save. You'll land on an empty canvas, ready for widgets.

Adding widgets

Click 'Add widget' and pick from two families:

  1. 1

    KPI cards — single numbers like Total tasks, Completed, Overdue, In progress, Hours logged.

  2. 2

    Charts — Status breakdown, Priority breakdown, Tasks by assignee, Completion trend, Hours by board.

  3. 3

    Lists — Overdue tasks, Recently updated tasks.

Tip

Start with 3–4 KPI cards at the top and one trend chart below. More widgets isn't more insight — clarity beats density.

Sharing dashboards

Open the dashboard settings and add team members under 'Shared with'. They'll see the same live numbers — no exports, no stale screenshots. Great for weekly leadership reviews or client updates.

Useful dashboard recipes

  1. 1

    Team health → Total tasks + Completed + Overdue + Tasks by assignee.

  2. 2

    Project tracker → Completion trend + Status breakdown + Recent activity, scoped to one board.

  3. 3

    Time & billing → Hours logged + Hours by board + Recently updated.

  4. 4

    Bug triage → Priority breakdown + Overdue list, scoped to your Bugs board.

Refreshing data

Dashboards pull live from your tasks, so every metric updates as work moves. There's no 'sync' button — open the dashboard and you see the truth right now.

Tip

If a number looks off, check the dashboard's board scope. A widget scoped to a single board won't reflect tasks living elsewhere.
