Dashboard Explained

Staff-level utilisation and hours breakdown: contracted, total, chargeable, non-chargeable, internal, and leave hours, per person. Utilisation Detail is the forensic view — when a summary dashboard raises a question about a specific person's utilisation, this is where the answer is found.

Updated in Insights Pro: This dashboard existed in Analytics Plus as "Hours per Staff Name by Transaction Date"; the Contracted/Chargeable/Non-Chargeable/Internal/Leave column breakdown is new.

How to use it

Use Utilisation Detail when investigating a specific staff member's utilisation pattern flagged in the Heatmap or Trend view. Compare Total Project Hours against Total Hours to see how much of their recorded time was billable-project work at all, then check the Chargeable vs Non-Chargeable split within that. High Internal Hours may indicate a workload or timesheet-discipline issue worth a conversation. This page doesn't break down hours by individual project — for that level of detail, use Timesheet Detail.
