Productivity visualization

Use Productivity visualization to view biweekly productivity at a high level. Using the visualization, you can analyze the data in a variety of ways, including drilling on graphs and tables.

  • Select which data to explore and at what level.

  • View in-depth data by drilling on data points.

  • View a summary of productivity, see details at the department level, and analyze trends.

Report security

Permissions for viewing the Productivity visualization depend on your user role and the data tables to which you have permissions. For example, you need permissions to view Payroll data. The Administrator uses the Security Manager to add users to roles. Refer to Manage users and roles and related topics under Security.
