## What are Dashboards?

Dashboards in Motion provide a **visual, data-driven snapshot** of your projects, tasks, and team activity. They allow you to **create, customize, and share** key insights through interactive charts, making it easier than ever to monitor work progress and optimize productivity.

Here’s what you can do with **Dashboards**:

- **Monitor Workload:** See who’s working on what, track task distribution, and identify underutilized or overloaded team members.
- **Track Progress:** Get real-time updates on project status, upcoming deadlines, and potential blockers.
- **Customize Data Views:** Build dashboards with **number chart, pie charts, column charts and line charts** that are relevant to your workflow.
- **Share Insights:** Pin dashboards to **favorites**, copy links, and collaborate with your team in a shared view.

## How to use Dashboards in Motion

**1. Creating a Dashboard**

There are multiple ways to create a new dashboard in Motion:

• Click **“Create Dashboard”** in your All Tasks view.

• Click **“Create New View”** and select “Dashboard.”

• Create a dashboard **at the workspace or project level** for more focused insights.

You can start with a **pre-made team dashboard** for quick setup or **build one from scratch** to fit your needs.

**2. Adding and Customizing Charts**

Dashboards come with a variety of **interactive charts** to visualize your data:

💯 **Number Charts** – View total tasks, hours worked, or progress metrics.

📈 **Line Charts** – Track workload trends over time.

📊 **Bar Charts** – Compare project status across teams or workspaces.

🥧 **Pie Charts** – Get a quick breakdown of completed, overdue, and upcoming tasks.

Each chart is **fully customizable**—you can filter data by **projects, assignees, deadlines, and more** to focus on the insights that matter most.

For example, if you want to track **tasks assigned to you**, you can filter the data by **assignee = @Me**, so each team member sees their own workload when they view the dashboard.

**3. Tracking Project Health with ETAs**

A key feature of Dashboards is the ability to track **Project ETAs**, giving you instant visibility into which projects are **on track, behind schedule, or at risk**.

🟢 **Green (On Track)** – The project is progressing as planned.

🟡 **Yellow/Orange (Needs Attention)** – Some tasks are overdue, but the project can still be completed on time.

🔴 **Red (Scheduled Past Deadline)** – Tasks are scheduled beyond the project deadline and require action.

By clicking on any **ETA status**, you can drill down into specific tasks and projects, identify bottlenecks, and take action to **get things back on track**.

**4. Organizing Your Dashboards**

Just like other views in Motion, Dashboards can be **organized and shared** for easy access:

- **Pin to Favorites** – Keep your most-used dashboards in the sidebar for quick navigation.
- **Apply Dashboards Across Projects** – Create a dashboard once and reuse it across multiple projects for consistency.
- **Share with Your Team** – Copy and share dashboard links to collaborate on key insights.

## How we use dashboards at Motion
