What progress overview includes

Progress Overview provides a granular, interactive dashboard that allows Company users to:

  • See progress by data point

  • Understand completion by entity

  • Drill down into progress by time period

All of this is available in a single, clear view.
​

In-Platform Reminders

Reminders can now be sent:

  • Directly from the platform

  • To the relevant data owner

  • With explicit mention of the outstanding data points and entities

  • With a customised message

This reduces back‑and‑forth emails and guides recipients straight to where action is required.
​

Key Benefits

More comprehensive overview of data progress

  • Track progress across multiple entities, data points and periods

  • Identify data completion risks early as deadlines approach

  • Reduce time spent manually checking in with colleagues

In‑platform, contextual communication

  • Send targeted reminders to the right person

  • Reference the exact data points and entities that need attention

  • Avoid lengthy email threads and screenshots

Intuitive and clear interface

  • One‑glance dashboards show progress status

  • Filters help pinpoint high‑ and low‑risk areas quickly

  • Interactive views support deeper investigation where needed — by clicking on an entity, you can deep dive into entity-level completion progress

How It Works – Company Users

1. Access the Progress Overview

a) Log in to your Company account

b) In the left-hand navigation panel, go to DATA

c) Select Progress Overview

Important: Progress Overview is reporting year-dependent. Always ensure the correct reporting year is selected using the year picker at the top of the platform.
​

Filtering by Entity

Progress overview includes an entity filter so you can focus on the entities you care about, individually or by group.

  • Click the entity filter dropdown above the dashboard.

  • Entities are grouped by entity tag (e.g. a region, business unit, or reporting cluster), so you can select a whole tag group in one click, or pick individual entities.

  • You can select multiple entities or tag groups at once.

Sharing a filtered view: Your filter selections are held in the page URL. Copy the URL from your browser's address bar to share the exact same filtered view with a colleague, or bookmark/link to it directly.
​

Saving a view: If you come back to the same set of filters regularly, save it instead of rebuilding it each time.

  1. Apply the entity filters (and any other filters) you want.

  2. Click Save view, give it a name, and save.

  3. Access saved views any time from the Select Saved View dropdown, the same control used elsewhere in the platform's reports.

2. Review Data Progress

  • Use the entity filter and other filters to identify data points with outstanding entries

  • The interactive dashboard displays progress by entity for each data point

  • Note if an entity has not been assigned any data request, they will not show up in the dashboard.

  • The completion rate is measured point-in-time to account for differences in periodicity, e.g., if you had requested entities to report on quarterly data, the progress overview will tell you which of the quarterly data points have been completed given the point in time. If it's July 1, the system would flag any Q1 and Q2 data point not completed as ‘outstanding’.

This allows you to quickly identify where action is still required.
​
​

3. View Detailed Progress

  • Click View to see more detailed information

  • This shows which assigned entities and time periods are currently outstanding

This view is especially useful when managing data requests with recurring or periodic requirements.

4. Send Targeted Reminders

  • Select one or more items using the tick boxes on the main dashboard

  • Prompt the system to send reminders

  • You will be shown a draft email and who the recipients would be

  • The email will be sent and will mention the sender, the outstanding data points, and will include a call to action for the entity to start completing data
