Analytics Dashboard

Overview

The Analytics Dashboard shares deeper insights into your organization’s project usage, capture, and data analysis. To access this feature in the web app, navigate to the main menu by clicking the three horizontal lines in the top left corner, then select "Analytics Dashboard."

For more information on the Analytics Dashboard for Safety AI, please refer to the Analytics Dashboard - Safety AI article.

The Analytics Dashboard is divided into four sections, which are represented as tabs at the top of the dashboard. Each section is structured similarly, with the top half comprising standalone metrics and the bottom half comprising various charts and tables. Example charts and tables are shown below. 

• The Overview section offers a high-level perspective of all projects within your organization. 
  
• The Activity section introduces insights on total activity and processing metrics.
  • Additionally, there are visualizations on Captures by Type, Processing by Type, and Analysis, Views, or Exports by Month.
    
    
    
• The Projects section breaks down your organization’s projects by type.
  • The Top 10 Projects stacked bar chart shows the projects with the most activity, and the Project Activity Table is an excellent resource for comparing projects side-by-side. Clicking the project names in this table will take you directly to the project.
    
    
    
    
• The Users section empowers you to better understand who maximizes their DroneDeploy usage within your organization. Track your top pilots, uploaders, analysts, viewers, and external users, or compare user metrics in the User Activity table.
  
  

Filters 

Each section of the Analytics Dashboard includes a combination of the following filters:

• Date: Set relative, advanced, or custom date filters. 
• Project Name: A searchable, multi-select dropdown list that allows you to filter for specific projects in your organization.
• Email: A multi-select dropdown list of all users (internal and external) who are added to at least one project in your organization. 
• Folders: These filters, broken down into Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3, represent the folder structure within an organization. The Level 1 folder is the top-level folder, Level 2 folders are stored within Level 1, and Level 3 folders are stored within Level 2. If you apply a filter for a Level 1 folder, any subsequent folders will be included in that filter.
  
  • Air or Ground Projects: Specifies whether the project is classified as an Aerial, Ground, Unified (both Aerial & Ground), or Unknown project. 
• Group Name: If your organization uses groups to manage users, then you can filter to isolate data by specific groups.

The filters side panel is accessible by clicking the rightward arrow at the top of the dashboard, as shown below:

After deciding to add any filters, click “Apply Filters” to ensure that your dashboards update to your preferences. Any filters you apply in the side panel will persist when you switch between tabs and will also be reflected in the charts and tables throughout the dashboard.
