# Dashboards The **Dashboard** in SmartTask allows users to create visual reports and track key metrics from projects and tasks in a centralized, customizable view. * **Create Reports:** Generate charts and reports based on your project and task data — like tasks by status, assignee workload, time tracking summaries, overdue tasks, etc. * **Filtered Views:** Apply filters to narrow down data by project, assignee, dates, and custom fields — so you can create specific reports, like *“Tasks completed this week by John”* or *“Hours logged by each team member this month.”* * **Multiple Report Types:** Choose from bar charts, pie charts, line graphs, number widgets, or task list views depending on how you want to visualize your data. * **Custom Dashboards:** Combine multiple reports into a single dashboard view for a quick overview of your team’s performance and project progress. It essentially helps managers and team leads **track performance, identify bottlenecks, and make data-driven decisions** without switching between multiple tools or spreadsheets. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
