Visualize Your Time with Your Google Calendar™ Analytics Dashboard in Time Reports Pro

Turn your Google Calendar into a visual dashboard. Track time distribution, spot trends, and analyze productivity with beautiful charts.

Better Data = Better Graphs

The secret to a great dashboard is consistent data. If you type "Meeting" on Monday and "Mtg" on Tuesday, your charts will look messy.

To get the most out of the Analytics Dashboard, we recommend setting up specific Field Types before you run your first report.

Recommended Field Setup

  1. Primary Category (Group By): Use a Dropdown or Color Field.

    • Why? These restrict options to a fixed list, ensuring your Pie Charts are clean and accurate.

  2. Secondary Detail (Break Down By): Use a second Dropdown or a Text Field.

    • Why? This allows you to split your main category into smaller chunks (e.g., Client A > Phase 1 vs. Client A > Phase 2).
