In today's data-driven business environment, understanding how your team spends time is crucial for making informed decisions about resource allocation, project planning, and operational efficiency. Record'em's reporting system provides flexible analytics that transform raw time tracking data into clear, actionable insights.

General Work Time Reports

The core of Record'em's reporting system is the general report that shows normal work time of team members based on customizable filters and grouping options. This report provides a comprehensive view of how time is allocated across your organization.

Flexible Filtering and Grouping:

  • Project Filtering: Focus on specific projects or compare time allocation across multiple projects.
  • Location-Based Analysis: Track time based on work locations (office, remote, client site) to understand work patterns.
  • Billable vs Non-Billable: Filter and analyze billable time separately from administrative or internal work.
  • Multiple Grouping Options: Choose from three different data grouping perspectives:
    • Group by PROJECT, then PERSON, then DATE - See project allocation across team members over time
    • Group by PERSON, then DATE - Track individual performance and time patterns
    • Group by DATE, then PERSON - Analyze daily team capacity and allocation
  • Visual Bar Charts: All report data is visualized through clear bar charts for easy interpretation and presentation.

Category and Budget Reports

Category reports provide insights into project performance and financial tracking. These reports help managers understand how different types of work are performing against their allocated budgets and timelines.

Budget analysis within category reports shows spending patterns, helps identify cost overruns early, and provides data for more accurate future project estimation and resource planning.

Absence Reports

Track and analyze team absence patterns with dedicated absence reporting. These reports help managers understand leave patterns, plan for coverage, and ensure compliance with leave policies and regulations.

Absence reports provide visibility into vacation time, sick leave, and other absence types, helping with workforce planning and identifying potential burnout or attendance issues before they impact productivity.

AI-Powered Dynamic Reports

Record'em's AI reporting feature allows administrators to generate custom reports through natural language conversations. Instead of navigating through complex report builders, admins can simply chat with the AI to get exactly the insights they need.

AI Report Capabilities:

  • Conversational Interface: Ask questions in plain English like "Show me overtime hours for the development team last month" or "Which projects are over budget this quarter?"
  • Dynamic Query Processing: The AI understands context and can generate reports based on complex, multi-faceted questions that would be difficult to create with traditional report builders.
  • Instant Insights: Get immediate answers to ad-hoc questions without needing to wait for pre-configured reports or learn complex reporting tools.
  • Admin-Level Access: AI reporting is available to administrators who need comprehensive access to organizational data for strategic decision-making.

Practical Reporting Applications

These reporting capabilities work together to provide comprehensive business intelligence. Use general reports to understand day-to-day operations, category reports for financial oversight, absence reports for workforce management, and AI reports for strategic insights.

The combination of structured reporting with AI-powered flexibility means you can get both regular operational insights and answer specific business questions as they arise, making data-driven decisions faster and more effectively.

Visual Data Presentation

All reports feature clear visual presentations, with bar charts making complex data easy to understand at a glance. Whether you're presenting to stakeholders or analyzing trends, the visual format helps communicate insights effectively and supports quick decision-making.
