Parameters

  • From period: the period from which the dashboard shows data.

  • Until fiscal year: the fiscal year up to and including which the dashboard shows data.

 

Special notes

  • Due to the large amount of data this dashboard must retrieve, it is recommended not to run this dashboard for more than 2 fiscal years in the past.
  • The different fiscal years are not combined in this dashboard. You can select between fiscal years using the 'Fiscal Year' filter on the left side of the screen.
  • On the 'Hours Budget' tab, you can click through in 'List' to underlying hour types, hour categories, and operations by double-clicking the employee whose underlying data you want to view. The charts may show 3 colors. By default, 'Actuals' are colored dark blue in these charts; however, if this value falls under the light blue 'Budget', it will be colored orange. The first overview provides insight into the budgeted hours and their realization. The deviation is shown both in numbers and percentages. In the charts, orange bars are below the set budget and blue bars are above the set budget.
  • The 'Summary' tab shows the ratio between direct and indirect hours with the productivity budget as a reference point. In the 'Productivity' chart, the black line represents the productivity budget based on the BCO administration data. The blue area shows the realized direct hours and the light blue area the realized indirect hours. At the color transition point, the productivity percentage is displayed.
  • At the bottom, the data is schematically shown that is displayed above in charts. The 'Hours Efficiency' tab uses the same layout. It provides insight into the budget for hours efficiency, the realized absence, and the realized direct and indirect hours.
  • The same applies almost entirely to the 'Productivity' tab. This overview consists of stacked bars of the direct and indirect budgets and realizations.
