Dashboard Explained
Breakdown of how firm time is allocated across five categories — Project Chargeable, Project Non-Chargeable, Internal, Leave, and Unknown — in hours, both as a snapshot and trended monthly. Time Analysis reveals the true composition of the firm's time, not just whether utilisation is high or low.
Updated in Insights Pro: This dashboard existed in Analytics Plus as "Internal Hours per Stage Name/Office/Team/Rate" and has been substantially redesigned for Insights Pro.
How to use it
Use Time Analysis when investigating why utilisation is below target. If Project Non-Chargeable or Internal hours are growing month over month without a corresponding change in headcount, that's worth a conversation about workload composition. A spike in Leave explains a short-term utilisation dip without it being a resourcing problem. Drill from Slice into individual Staff Name rows in the table to see whose time is driving a category's trend. Watch the Unknown category too — a growing Unknown balance usually indicates a data or classification issue rather than a genuine time-use pattern. Compare across offices or teams using Slice By to check whether time-use patterns are consistent firm-wide or concentrated in one area.
