Dashboards in Construct CT can be launched from one of the dashboard links found in the main menu, shown above. These dashboards are a great tool for analyzing timesheet data and each one has been purposely designed so key elements can be examined at a glance.

• The Home Dashboard serves as the main control panel for monitoring and managing daily crew activities, timesheets, and project progress.

• The Productivity Dashboard provides users with an overall review of crew productivity.

• The Weekly Dashboard displays timesheet summaries for all the project/crews to which the user has access. This dashboard also features:

  • Project Dashboard

  • Crew Dashboard

• The Real-Time Dashboard displays the real-time activity of employees who are using the Construct CHK app to clock in/out and take breaks over the course of a shift on a job site.

Security

Access to the dashboards can be granted to a user's role in the Security Roles screen located in the E-Time module.

NOTE: The Security Roles screen launched from the E-Time module contains security options and settings that are not widely available in the security screens launched from other modules (e.g. CMiC Field, ESS, etc.). The dashboard programs being discussed here are only available for assignment in the Security Roles screen located in E-Time.

For convenience, the security for each of the dashboards listed below is highlighted in the screenshot.

Home

Construct CT - Home

The Home Dashboard serves as the main control panel for monitoring and managing daily crew activities, timesheets, and project progress. It provides a real-time snapshot of workforce, equipment, and expense metrics for the selected project and crew.

For more information, please refer to Construct CT - Home Dashboard.

Weekly Dashboard

Construct CT - Weekly Dashboard – My Projects tab

The Weekly Dashboard provides a consolidated weekly overview of each project and crew’s working hours, employee activity, and missing time entries. This dashboard allows foremen and supervisors to instantly identify missing days and hours without drilling into individual employee records.

The Weekly Dashboard displays timesheet summaries for all projects to which the user has access. The dashboard contains two tabs: My Projects and My Crews.

My Projects – Tab

This tab on the Weekly Dashboard screen displays the information for all jobs to which the user has access. The user can select a job to bring up the Project Dashboard for that job, as shown in the screenshot below.

Project Dashboard

The Project Dashboard displays all crew timesheets related to the currently selected project. The current week is shown by default, but the date range can be changed by pressing the Calendar icon ().

The dashboard displays totals for normal, overtime, double OT, other, and equipment hours for each crew working on the project for the selected week. Press the crew code to drill down for further details. The Due column highlights missing or incomplete days using color coding (red for missing days, green for complete, and gray for weekends) and displays the total number of days due. A Total row at the bottom summarizes the cumulative hours across all crew members for the week.

This dashboard can also be reached by pressing the Crew Dashboard option in the Home Dashboard.

Crew Dashboard

Press an employee row to see details for that employee.

Employee Dashboard

My Crews – Tab

Construct CT - Weekly Dashboard – My Crews tab

This tab displays the information for all crews for which the selected user is responsible. The user can select a crew to bring up the Crew Dashboard for that job. The responsible person can be changed in the Maintain Crew screen.

Productivity Dashboard

The Productivity Dashboard provides users with an overall review of crew productivity, including hour/cost/unit variances, ratings, and totals. Users can customize the dashboard by filtering the data by date, activity, cost type, and variance.

Selection Criteria

Crew

Select a crew from the Crew LOV, which includes all crews in the project. This field defaults to the crew selected in the Construct CT menu.

Date

Select a date or range of dates from the calendar. This field defaults to the current date. If a single date is selected, use the left and right arrows to navigate to the previous/next date.

Activity

Select one or more crew activities (tasks) from the LOV. This field defaults to "ALL".

Cost Type

Select whether to include labor, equipment, or all cost types. This field defaults to "Labor".

Variance In

Select whether to calculate the variance in dollars, dollars/units, hours, hours/units, units, units/hours.

Details

The Task, Cost Type, WM, and Budget columns reflect values set up in the Job Costing module.

The Quantity column represents the units entered on the crew sheet at the activity level, regardless of the cost type.

The Variance column is color-coded to reflect the variance between the expected and actual values, and is calculated as:

Variance = Expected Value - Actual Value

• If the Expected Value > Actual Value, then the variance is positive and will be displayed in a green color with an upward arrow.

• If the Expected Value < Actual Value, then the variance is negative and will be displayed in a red color with a downward arrow.

• If the Expected Value = Actual Value, then the variance is 0 and will be displayed in a yellow color with a square.

Real-Time Dashboard

The Real-Time Dashboard captures the real-time activity of employees who are using the Construct CHK app to clock in/out and take breaks over the course of a shift on a job site.
