BI Dashboard

Overview

Understand organisation-wide figures, trends and production comparisons

The BI Dashboard consolidates the business-intelligence data recorded in projects into an organisation-wide steering view. While the regular Dashboard shows today's personal work, the BI Dashboard answers questions such as:

  • How many visitors, how much revenue and how many performances were recorded?
  • How are visitor numbers and revenue developing compared with the previous year?
  • Which sectors or production categories contribute to the results?
  • Which productions show a notable relationship between effort and output?
  • Where are BI figures still missing?

The menu item is only visible when the BI module is enabled and your account is allowed to view the BI Dashboard.

Selecting a period

By default, Artwork uses the season window defined in the general settings. Alternatively, you can use these presets:

SelectionEffect
Season (default)Uses the centrally configured season start and end
Calendar year1 January through 31 December of the current year
Last 12 monthsRolling period ending today
From / ToA freely selected inclusive date range

After entering dates manually, select Apply. The To date cannot precede the From date. Previous-year comparisons automatically use the equivalent period shifted back by one year.

Where do the figures come from?

The dashboard combines information from all regular projects; project groups are not counted as separate productions. Sources include:

  • visitors, sold tickets and revenue from the project BI component,
  • project events, event types and assigned BI tags,
  • room capacities and project-specific capacities,
  • project categories or sectors,
  • contracts, bookings, tasks, project documents and recorded effort ranges.

Business intelligence in a project explains how to maintain these details.

Results are only as complete as the source data

Missing figures are not automatically extrapolated in totals. A zero can therefore mean either “actually zero” or “not recorded yet”. Use the data-gap notices and mark figures Not relevant in the project when they deliberately do not apply.

Select the required reporting period.
Review warnings about BI tags and data gaps.
Add missing totals through quick entry or open the project.
Review figures and previous-year changes.
Check monthly and category charts for notable patterns.
Use effort versus output and the production table to drill down to individual projects.
