# Analytics View

## Introduction:

The analytics view provides a consolidated snapshot of tracked time and related financials. It is designed to help teams monitor time utilization, billing efficiency, and project profitability.

### **1. Summary Metrics:**

* **Total Hours:** Displays the cumulative time logged by users.
* **Billable Hours:** Represents the portion of total time that is marked as billable.
* **Cost:** Reflects the internal cost incurred based on time logged and user rates.
* **Billable Amount:** Indicates potential revenue calculated from billable hours and billing rates.
* **Profit:** Derived from the difference between the billable amount and the cost.

If no time entries are recorded, all values will appear as zero.

{% hint style="info" %}
***Note:** These two fields (**Cost** and **Billable Amount**) are only visible to **admins**, ensuring financial data remains restricted to authorized users.*
{% endhint %}

### **2. Bar Chart:**

* The bar chart visualizes daily time logs, segmented into:
  * **Billable (blue)**
  * **Non-Billable (light blue)**
* This helps quickly identify how time is distributed across the week and whether time is being effectively billed.
* If no data is available, the chart will indicate **“No data found".**

### **3. Filters and Export:**

* Users can filter the data by project, user, or group to analyze performance from different perspectives.
* The **Export** option allows users to download the data for reporting or further analysis.

## **Why Use Analytics View?**

* Quickly spot workload imbalances.
* Analyze team productivity trends.
* Identify high-effort tasks or clients.
* Back decisions with real data.
