Interactive dashboard
Release Date: February 10, 2025
We are excited to announce a major new improvement to Simple Timesheet: the introduction of an interactive dashboard. This feature is designed to provide SME managers and project managers with a clear, real-time view of time tracking data, facilitating informed decision making and optimizing team management.
Why an interactive dashboard?
In the current SME environment, the ability to quickly analyze time data is essential for effective project and human resource management. An interactive dashboard centralizes this information, allowing managers to visualize trends, identify gaps and proactively respond to operational challenges.
What are the benefits for SME managers and project leaders?
1. An overview of active projects
The new dashboard of Simple Timesheet offers a clear and intuitive visualization of projects in progress. A coloured pie chart shows the time allocation between projects, with detailed legend to help identify tasks at a glance. With this feature, managers can more accurately analyze resource allocation, identify priority projects and ensure that the workload is well balanced.
2. A heatmap for tracking hours worked
To help better understand how time is distributed across teams, the dashboard includes a dynamic heatmap that displays hours worked per employee over a given period. Darker hues indicate higher volumes of hours, providing rapid visual analysis of trends. This feature allows to identify in an instant the under-charged or overworked employees, thus facilitating the adjustment of schedules for better productivity and a better balance of tasks.
3. Tracking of unfilled time sheets
One of the major challenges in time management is tracking employee time slips that are not filled out. To remedy this, Simple Timesheet now offers a dedicated section that automatically lists users who have failed to fill out their timesheets. This feature is accompanied by an alert button to send a notification in one click to remind them to complete their entries. This tool minimizes omissions, ensuring more accurate recording of hours worked and improved data reliability.
4. A date range selector and real-time refresh
Time management requires being able to quickly access the right data at the right time. This is why this dashboard includes a period selector to filter the data display according to a specific date range. This option is ideal for analyzing weekly, monthly or even annual trends and comparing changes in workloads. A “Refresh” button is also available to update statistics in real time, ensuring managers have an up-to-date view of their team’s productivity.
Conclusion
The integration of the interactive dashboard into Simple Timesheet represents a significant step forward for SMEs wishing to improve their time management and the efficiency of their teams. We encourage you to explore this new feature and see how it can benefit your organization.
