- Trend Analysis: The Trend analysis shows a 12 month bar chart with the number of actions by status for each month (Overdue, Open, Raised and Closed). It helps you compare months, see where volumes are increasing or decreasing across statuses, and spot patterns or spikes. Use this view to monitor overall activity and direct attention to areas with rising or persistent volumes.

- Overdue by Location: This card shows the top 5 locations with the highest number of overdue actions within the specified date range

- Open by Location: This card shows the top 5 locations with the highest number of open actions within the selected date range.

- Open by Case Type: This card shows the top 5 case types with the highest number of open actions within the selected date range.

Each of the three charts helps you spot where open and overdue actions are highest, whether by location or by case type. Use them individually to identify priority areas and direct attention where it’s needed most.
Tabular Data Grid:
Location overview:
- The ‘Locations Overview’ data grid provides a tabular summary of each location and their action performance. It includes key metrics to help you assess how different locations are managing actions across the business.

Case Type Overview:
- The Case Type overview data grid shows actions grouped by case type and category. It displays the number of actions in each status, helping you compare volumes across case types and see where open or overdue items are higher.

Actions Detail:
- The Actions detail data grid gives an item level view of actions so you can review and track individual entries. It includes fields such as case reference, description, action type, created date and due date. You can use this view to sort and filter, see when each action was created and when it is due, and prioritise follow ups.

PDF and Export Function:
The Download PDF button allows you to quickly capture the entire page including charts and summaries in a convenient PDF format. This eliminates the need to manually compile visual data, saving time when reporting to the wider business.

The ‘Export Grid Data’ button at the bottom of the grid allows you to export the selected information into a CSV file. The export includes additional related data beyond what’s visible in the grid, enabling deeper analysis or integration with other reporting tools.
