Dashboard Explained

Firm-wide utilisation, leave, and missing-hours summary across all offices. Resources Overview is the starting point for any resourcing conversation — it shows whether the firm's people are recording their time properly and working at the right level, right now.

Updated in Insights Pro: The core utilisation/leave concepts existed in Analytics Plus (People Beta showed near-identical Hours & Utilisation % tiles and trends); this page adds Missing Hours tracking and has been substantially redesigned for Insights Pro.

How to use it

Open Resources Overview at the start of each week to confirm utilisation, leave, and missing hours are all in expected ranges. If Missing Hours % of Expected is below 100% for a slice, that slice hasn't finished entering timesheets — chase before relying on other Resources dashboards for that data. Use the Casual and Chargeable toggles to isolate whether a utilisation dip is coming from casual staff or non-billable roles specifically, rather than a genuine firm-wide trend.
