How do I create and use reports?

My Reports allows you to compile oculai data into flexibly configurable analyses, save them, and use them as live widgets in the dashboard.

With My Reports you can create analyses tailored to your project, your processes, and your daily workflow. Each report is based on oculai data, can be flexibly configured, saved, and used directly as a widget in the dashboard.

A report is always built according to the same principle:

You first select the appropriate report type, then define filters, set the desired aggregation, and adjust the display. You can then save the report and add it directly to the dashboard if needed.

Creating a new report

You start creating a report via the navigation under Analysis → My Reports. With the plus symbol you create a new report and then select the desired category. Available options include, among others, attendance curves, cycle times, project progress, single values, productivity rates, and working hours curves.

After the selection, the configuration view opens. On the left side you set filters, parameters, and layout, while on the right you always see a live preview. Changes are immediately visible, so you can quickly assess whether the report conveys the desired message.

Report types and typical use cases

The attendance curve shows the presence of workers throughout the day, broken down by cameras. By choosing date, time interval, and cameras, you can identify peak times, idle periods, and assess personnel capacity on a daily basis.

With cycle times you compare actual and planned durations of processes or components. Location, process, and aggregation filters allow you to analyze differences between floors/levels, sections, or buildings. The report is particularly suited to identifying delays, assessing process stability, and preparing planned/actual comparisons for project reports.

The project progress gives you an overview of the schedule status of the project. You can see how far the project currently is, where deviations occur, and — optionally — how the further course is forecast. This allows delays to be attributed to specific areas or process chains.

How is project progress calculated?

Project progress results from comparing actual and planned (target) progress in the schedule.

  • The actual progress shows what percentage of the project has actually been achieved to date.

  • The planned/target progress comes from the schedule.

To avoid short-term fluctuations, a 2-week reference is used:

Today's actual progress is compared with the planned progress that was scheduled two weeks before the point in time when this progress was supposed to be reached according to the plan. The resulting difference (delta) describes the current progress dynamics and forms the basis for an optional forecast of further project development. You can read more about it here.

Single values are compact metrics and are ideal as KPI widgets in the dashboard. They display, for example, progress, working hours, or productivity rates. Through location filters and visual thresholds, they are particularly helpful for management overviews, daily status checks, or monitoring sub-projects.

With productivity rates you analyze performance and efficiency metrics. Depending on the chosen productivity rate, location, and aggregation, you can assess productivity, calculate averages, and identify trends in the project course.

The working hours curve visualizes working hours performed over freely selectable time periods. The display can be made by process, section, or for the entire project. It is suitable for analyzing work resources, comparing different areas, and identifying trends, outliers, or performance peaks — also as a basis for further takt analyses.

Saving reports and using them in the dashboard

Each report can be saved individually. Via the "Add to dashboard" function, it can be directly added to the dashboard as a widget. These widgets always display live-updated data and can be freely arranged. This allows you to build a dashboard step by step that shows exactly the metrics and analyses relevant to your daily project work. You can learn more here.
