Reporting - Workshop Dashboard : Blackpurl

This article will cover the Workshop Dashboard - what it is / how to access it and what it will show

What is the Workshop Dashboard

Blackpurl's Workshop Dashboard enables your Dealership to offer exceptionally high levels of customer service as from one screen you can easily see how all of the Service Jobs are progressing at any time from any device

For example

You will be able to see from the Workshop Dashboard when jobs are running over / what Service Jobs your technicians are currently working on / how much allocated time is left etc

This will mean that you are always in the know with what is happening with your Service Jobs so that you can also keep your customers up to date

For a Service Job to appear on the Workshop Dashboard, the requirements are that:

it must be an open Service Job (not in completed or invoiced status) and the Service Job must have a scheduled appointment tied to it which starts on or before today's date

the Service Job contains hours logged entries

Accessing the Workshop Dashboard

From the Blackpurl Header > Reporting > Workshop Dashboard

Reviewing the Workshop Dashboard

Let's review the Workshop Dashboard screen itself - what it shows / how to read it etc:

A.	Each tile represents one Service Job and these are all the Service Jobs that are currently in your Blackpurl that meet your filter requirements (B. and C.)

The default filters for the Workshop Dashboard are All Job Types (B.) and All Open Jobs (C.)

The green shaded tiles indicate that these Service Jobs have a technician currently job clocked onto them
These tiles will always be shown first in the Workshop Dashboard so at a glance you can see what Service Jobs your technicians are currently working on

All other Service Job tiles will list in alphabetical order by First Name than Surname

B.	This is your Job Type filter - By changing the filter, you will be able to select the different Job Types that you want to show your Workshop Dashboard - just check or uncheck as required

The list of Job Types will be the Service Job Types that your Dealership currently has in your Blackpurl

In our example below - this Dealership that has quite a few Job Types in their Blackpurl and they want their Workshop Dashboard to show All job types:

C.	You can further sort your Workshop Dashboard to show only Service Jobs with a certain status. ie Ready or New

Click in the relevant radio boxes to make your selection of what status you want to see on your Workshop Dashboard

Click to refresh the Workshop Dashboard at any time
