Reports & Analytics

Dime.Sheets provides built-in reporting tools to help you understand how your team spends time, track project health, and generate data for billing.

Dashboard

The main dashboard is the first screen users see after signing in. It provides a quick overview tailored to your role:

• Regular users see their own hours for the current week, recent time entries, and active timers.
• Managers and administrators see the PM dashboard — a real-time operational view with four sections:
  • Team utilization — per-user logged vs. target hours with color-coded utilization percentages (amber below 70%, emerald 70-110%, blue above 110%).
  • Budget status — project hour budgets with consumption percentages, sorted by usage. Color-coded: emerald below 75%, amber 75-90%, red above 90%.
  • Submission compliance — how many team members have submitted for the current period, with a progress bar and a list of who still needs to submit.
  • Approval queue — count of timesheets awaiting approval, the oldest wait time, and the average wait time in days.
• The PM dashboard auto-refreshes every 5 minutes.

Setup checklist

New administrators also see an onboarding checklist on the dashboard that guides them through three essential setup steps: create projects, configure periods, and add team members. The checklist tracks progress and can be dismissed once complete or when all steps are done.

Reports page

Navigate to Reports from the sidebar for detailed analytics. Available reports include:

Time by project

A breakdown of hours logged per project over a selected date range. Displays a bar chart and data table with totals. Use this to compare effort allocation across projects and identify where the most time is being invested.

Time by team member

Shows hours per user for a given period. Useful for workload balancing, capacity planning, and identifying under- or over-utilization. Managers see their direct reports; administrators see all users.

Time by task

Drill down into how hours are distributed across tasks within a project. Reveals whether effort aligns with estimates and highlights tasks consuming more time than planned.

Weekly summary

A week-by-week view of total hours across the organization or a filtered subset. Helpful for spotting trends, seasonal variations, and the impact of holidays.

Filtering and grouping

All reports support the following filters:

• Date range -- Select a predefined range (this week, this month, last quarter) or set custom start and end dates.
• Project -- Filter to one or more specific projects.
• User -- Filter to specific team members (manager and administrator roles only).
• Status -- Filter by time entry status (Draft, Submitted, Approved, Rejected).

Reports can be grouped by project, user, task, or date to change the primary axis of analysis.

Exporting data

Click Export on any report to download the data as:

• CSV -- For further analysis in spreadsheets or BI tools.
• PDF -- Formatted report suitable for sharing with stakeholders or clients.

Exported reports respect all active filters, so you get exactly the data shown on screen.

Access control

Report visibility is role-dependent. Regular users can only see their own data. Managers see their team. Administrators see the entire organization. This ensures data privacy while still providing each role with the insights they need.
