What is Analytics in Dashpivot?

Dashpivot Analytics allows you to visualise the data captured in your forms, without manual spreadsheets or reporting work.

As your team completes forms in the field, Dashpivot automatically updates dashboards and charts in real time, giving you visibility across individuals, teams, projects, or the entire organisation.

Analytics can be used to track:

  • Production and progress metrics

  • Compliance KPIs

  • Safety, quality, and environmental performance

  • Labour, cost, or activity trends

How Analytics is structured

Analytics in Dashpivot is organised into dashboards and charts.

  • You can create multiple dashboards, often grouped by function (for example: safety, production, quality, or labour).

  • Each dashboard can contain multiple charts, pulling data from one or more templates.

Dashboards can be created:

  • At a team level, showing data for a specific team folder

  • At a company level, aggregating data across all projects and teams

Permissions note:
To create dashboards and charts, you’ll need:

  • Team Controller or Project Controller permissions (for team dashboards), or

  • Organisation Controller permissions (for company-level dashboards)

This short overview video explains how Analytics works in Dashpivot, the different chart types available, and how dashboards update automatically as new forms are submitted.

Chart types in Dashpivot

Dashpivot includes three core chart types. Each chart can be filtered and configured to show exactly the data you need.

Quantity charts

Quantity charts track numeric values over time, such as labour hours, costs, quantities installed, or production output.

Frequency Charts

Frequency charts show how often forms are created over time. These are commonly used for:

  • Incident, defect, or delay tracking

  • Compliance KPIs (for example, inspections completed per month)

Ratio Charts

Ratio charts group forms by a chosen variable, such as workflow status, severity, list item, or form creator, allowing you to compare proportions visually.

Why Analytics matters

Dashpivot Analytics automates the work traditionally required to extract, clean, and graph data from paper forms or spreadsheets.

By capturing structured data in templates and visualising it through dashboards, teams gain:

  • Real-time insights

  • Consistent reporting across projects

  • Faster decision-making

  • Greater confidence in performance tracking
