Hive Analytics is a premium add-on application in Hive that allows you and your users to view and interact with out-of-the-box reporting dashboards.

While these dashboards cover most of the data that teams need, Hive offers custom analytics dashboard development for an additional fee. Please contact us if you would be interested in learning more about this service.

Hive Analytics can be accessed by clicking Apps on the left-hand navigation bar. This can also be pinned to your left-hand navigation by clicking the pin icon in Apps.

Hive Analytics Dashboards are divided based on the data type they relate to as seen by the folders titled Financial Analytics, Time Analytics, & Project Analytics respectively. You can toggle the dashboard navigation by clicking “Dashboards” in the top left corner. You can also toggle filters and download PDFs of your dashboard in the top right corner.

Filtering is further discussed below but you can also reference additional documentation here.

All Hive Analytics dashboards have global filters that apply to every widget in the dashboard. You can show and hide the filters pane by clicking the blue 'Filters' button seen below.

Global filters allow you to answer pointed questions such as "What is the overall picture for the Marketing Team's projects"

These filters automatically are shown every time you open Hive Analytics. You can restore to default filters by clicking the counter-clockwise arrow.

Some examples include:

Clicking a piece of a widget, as seen below, will filter and refine your dashboard based on your selection.

Widgets with a "star" icon indicate that the data source can be changed. In the example below, I can right-click and change the widget to show Projects by Project Tag instead of Projects by Team.

The Workspace Overview focuses on action and project completion as well as division of work.

This dashboard highlights the total number of projects and actions including their completion by percentage. Projects and actions can also be seen divided by their completion status (Unstarted, In Progress) and by the team involved.

A star icon next to any data widget indicates that the primary data field being shown on the dashboard can be switched to other fields. This can be done by right-clicking into the graph and selecting a new category.

The Resourcing Overview dashboard requires the Resourcing app to be enabled. You can learn more about Resourcing here.

The dashboard provides an overview of total hours resourced as well as hours resourced by role and utilization by user.

Utilization Thresholds established in Resourcing settings will determine what is defined as 100% utilization in hours.

If using Resourcing for tracking Time Off, the data will be presented as an aggregate by user, as well as a visual calendar.

The Time-Tracking Overview Dashboard requires that Time-Tracking is enabled under Apps.

Time estimates are made on individual action cards under the Time Tracking area of a card. Time estimates aggregate by assignee by project and are ultimately captured within this report. Time can be logged directly against actions or against projects as a whole.

This overview provides a summary of the total hours logged and the total hours estimated. Additional charts show actual hours by project as well as estimated hour totals by project. A concise data table at the bottom will show this data by user.

The Project Budget Tracker requires both the Resourcing and Time apps to be enabled under apps. Projects with budgets must have that budget entered on the Overview page of each project. Resource bill rate and cost rate are entered on each user’s resourcing profile.

Project members can have project-specific bill rates set on each project’s overview page.

This dashboard provides a comprehensive overview of cost and budget consumption based on hours logged against a project.

The Financial Analytics folder contains four (4) unique dashboards. As seen in the previous dashboards, many of these dashboards require both Time and Resourcing to be enabled. These are detailed below:

This dashboard shows bill amount along with cost amount by user and project. It is important to establish both cost and bill rates for your team members in Hive to utilize this dashboard fully.

Some common use cases are listed below:

Hive Analytics will return data from projects contained within 3 levels on the project navigator starting with the lowest level. The global filters title these as Grandparent, Parent, and Child. When an additional layer is added to the project structure it will not be shown in analytics.
​

It is important to note that budgets roll up to the highest level however, budgets that are input on a Grandparent project will not be included in the overall total. This is due to you filtering the grandparent on itself.

Hive Analytics follows two permissions rules which displaying data:
​

Projects Permissions are applicable to all projects and actions data on the dashboards, for example workspace overview and late actions. Projects permissions rely on a user having access to a project to view the project and actions data.
​
​

Role-based Permissions are applicable to all time and resourcing dashboards. These permissions allow for:
