Dashboard
The Dashboard is your at-a-glance view of the day and week: where the hours went, what's running right now, and how the trends are moving — without opening a single report.
TimeCampus is generally available — create an account at app.timecampus.com.
What it's for
Most days you don't need deep analysis; you need three answers fast:
- What have I done today / this week? — totals, billable hours, and how the time splits across projects
- What's happening right now? — a running timer, front and centre, with controls to stop or switch
- How am I trending? — focus, workload, and patterns at a glance, before they become problems
The Dashboard answers those on one screen. For the deep dives, it links out to the fuller views — Analytics, Reports, and the Timeline.
Built from widgets
The Dashboard isn't a fixed page — it's composed from widgets, the visualization and control components of the TimeCampus extensibility model:
| Widget kind | Examples |
|---|---|
| Charts | Time by project, daily distribution, weekly trend lines |
| Metrics | Total hours, billable hours, entry counts for a period |
| Controls | Timer start/stop, so you can track without leaving the Dashboard |
| Summaries | Recent entries, current focus and workload signals |
Because widgets are composable, the "right" dashboard differs by person: a consultant leans on billable metrics and project charts; someone protecting their focus leans on trend and pattern widgets. See Widgets for the full library and how widgets work everywhere in the platform, not just here.
Reading your day
A typical flow when you open the app:
- Check the top-line numbers — hours so far today and this week, and the billable share.
- Glance at the running timer — is the right thing being tracked? Stop or switch directly from the widget.
- Scan the charts — is time going where you intended? A project eating more than planned shows up here first.
- Follow the outliers — click through to Analytics for trends, or the Timeline to see the day hour by hour.
Setting it up
Your Dashboard is yours:
- Compose the widgets you care about — add what informs you, remove what doesn't
- Your layout is remembered per user — TimeCampus persists your view preferences and dashboard state, so the Dashboard comes back exactly as you left it, on any device (see Your first workspace)
- Different roles, different dashboards — in a shared workspace, each member composes their own view; team-level widgets show aggregate data by design, in line with the privacy model
Where the numbers come from
Every Dashboard number is derived from your time entries and captured activity — the same source of truth behind the Timeline and Reports. Fix an entry and the Dashboard reflects it; there's no separate bookkeeping to keep in sync.
