# 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.
