Tasks Dashboard
This guide explains, in a straightforward way, what each card and chart on your dashboard shows and how to use this information day to day.
Current Summary (always shows what is still open)
Doesn't depend on a date filter. It's the “X-ray of the now”.
Cards
Pending Tasks – how many haven't started yet. (e.g.: 0)
Tasks In Progress – already started and still open. (e.g.: 66)
Overdue Tasks – open tasks that are past due. (e.g.: 14)
Due Today – deadlines that expire today. (e.g.: 0)
Due This Week – deadlines that expire by Sunday. (e.g.: 0)
No Deadline – open without a set date (note: they tend to become overdue). (e.g.: 51)
Charts
Tasks by Type – what your backlog consists of (e.g.: “Other”, “Bug”, “Meeting”…).
Tasks by Stage – pending × in progress (helps to spot bottlenecks).
Tasks by Priority – low, medium, high (what is most critical right now).
Tasks by Assignee – who has the most open items.
How to use: start with Overdue, then Due Today, and then High priority. If there are many No Deadline, set dates.
Period Statistics (changes with the date filter)
Use the buttons Today / This Week / This Month / This Quarter. In the screenshots, “This Week”.
Cards
Tasks Created – how many were opened in the period. (e.g.: 1)
Tasks Completed – how many were completed in the period. (e.g.: 0)
Average Completion – average time to complete the tasks created in that period. (e.g.: 0 hours)
Completed On Time – completed within the deadline. (e.g.: 0)
Completed Late – completed after the deadline. (e.g.: 0)
Completed Without Deadline – completed tasks that had no date. (e.g.: 0)
Charts
Tasks by Assignee – who received/closed the most tasks in the period.
Tasks by Type – mix of what was worked on.
Tasks by Priority – distribution by criticality.
Tip: on the right side there are Export Tasks to generate a file for the filtered period.
User Tracking
Automatic list of tasks by person, sorted by deadline, with legend:
Red: overdue and not completed.
Green: completed successfully.
No color: in progress within the deadline.
How to use: ideal for objective follow-ups and for balancing workload across the team (who has the most tasks and which ones are due first).
Done! With these points, you can read the dashboard in seconds: the Current Summary tells what to tackle now; the Period Statistics show the result of the chosen interval; and the User Tracking helps organize who does what and when.
