Time Flow / Pulse Dashboard

The Pulse Dashboard provides delivery intelligence across your Time Flow projects. It surfaces metrics, trends, and alerts so you can assess project health without leaving the Dashboard.

Filters

Two filters at the top of the page control what data is displayed across all Pulse sections.

Project Selector

A multi-select dropdown on the left side of the filter bar. When no projects are selected, data for all projects is shown. Click the selector to open a popover where you can search for projects, select or clear individual projects, or use Select All and Clear All buttons. Selected projects appear as chips that can be individually removed.

Timeframe

A dropdown on the right side of the filter bar with three options:

• 1 Week

• 1 Month

• 3 Months

The selected timeframe affects the data in the Pulse graph, metric badges, and the comparison period shown alongside current metrics.

Attention

The Attention section highlights items that may need your immediate focus. Up to five items are shown at a time, with a "+N more items" indicator when there are additional items beyond the visible list.

Each attention item displays an icon indicating its type, a title, context, and a severity chip. The three types of attention items are:

• Overdue — Items that have passed their scheduled end date.

• Capacity — Items flagging a capacity concern.

• At Risk — Items that are trending toward a problem based on current velocity.

When the Attention section is collapsed, a badge on the header shows the total count. The badge is red if any items are critical, and orange otherwise. When there are no items needing attention, a checkmark icon and the message "No items requiring attention." are shown.

Pulse

The Pulse section combines metric badges with a line graph to give you a daily view of delivery health.

Metric Badges

Two sets of badges are displayed side by side. The left set shows metrics for your current context — either the active cycle name (when a single project with a cycle is selected) or "Last 7 Days". The right set shows the same metrics for the previous comparison period (Previous Week, Previous Month, or Previous 3 Months, matching your timeframe selection).

The four metrics are:

• Budget Burn — Percentage of estimated hours consumed by actual hours. Shown in green below 75%, orange below 100%, and red at or above 100%.

• Velocity — Average hours of deliverable work completed per day.

• Overhead — Percentage of total time spent on non-deliverable work. Green below 15%, orange below 30%, red at or above 30%.

• Pressure — A multiplier comparing work demand to available capacity. Green below 1x, orange below 1.2x, red at or above 1.2x.

Pulse Line Graph

Below the badges, a line graph plots three metrics over time on a daily basis:

• Velocity — Green solid line.

• Overhead — Grey dashed line.

• Pressure — Orange solid line.

Hover over any point on the graph to see a tooltip with the date, velocity (in hours), overhead (as a percentage), and pressure (as a multiplier).

Milestone Markers

Milestones appear on the graph as vertical dashed lines, color-coded by status:

• Green — On track.

• Red — Slipping (active milestone, items running late).

• Orange — Completed late.

Click a milestone marker to open a dialog showing the milestone's progress (items done vs. total, hours actual vs. estimated), any slip data (average days late, count of slipped items), and a per-task breakdown.

Epic Only Toggle

When the Epics feature is enabled for your organization, an Epic Only switch appears in the Pulse section. Turning this on filters the metrics and graph to show only work associated with Epics, excluding overhead and non-epic tasks.

Pulse Calculations

An expandable accordion below the graph shows the formulas used to calculate each metric badge and graph line. This is a reference for understanding how the values are derived.

Cycles

The Cycles section displays a grid of cards, one for each active cycle across your selected projects. Each card shows:

• Project name (when applicable).

• Cycle title.

• End date.

• Status chip — "On track" (green), "At risk" (orange), or "{N} late" (red).

• Progress bar — Shows tasks completed out of total (e.g. "5/12 tasks").

• Velocity trend — An up, down, or stable indicator showing how velocity is trending.

Cycle Status Dialog

Click the status chip on any cycle card to open a detailed dialog. The dialog includes:

• An explanation of the current status (e.g. how many tasks are late, or what velocity is needed to stay on track).

• Timeline details: deadline, days remaining, and projected completion date.

• Task breakdown: done, doing, to-do, and tasks past the deadline.

• Velocity: current rate, required rate (if at risk), and the gap.

• Suggested actions (e.g. reschedule tasks past the deadline, increase throughput, reduce scope, or extend the deadline).

Projects

The Projects section shows one card per selected project, providing a comprehensive snapshot of each project's health.

Each project card displays the following metrics:

• Budget Burn — Percentage of estimated hours used, with actual vs. estimated hours shown. Color-coded: green below 75%, yellow below 100%, red below 200%, and darker red at or above 200%.

• Tasks — Count of tasks by state: to-do, doing, and done.

• Allocation — The percentage of total team time allocated to this project for the selected period.

• Overhead — The percentage of time spent on non-deliverable work, labeled as Low, Medium, or High.

• Velocity — Average deliverable hours per day for the current context.

• Pressure — Demand vs. capacity multiplier, labeled as Ahead, On track, or Behind.

Depending on your role and project configuration, additional sections may appear on the card:

• Cost Budget — Appears when budget tracking is enabled and a cost budget is set. Shows burn percentage and spent vs. budget amounts.

• Profitability — Visible to Owners and Admins when revenue or cost data exists. Shows revenue, cost, and margin percentage.

• Billing — Appears when the project has billing data. Shows unbilled amounts and hours, and may include due and paid amounts.

Epics

The Epics section displays an "Epic Ledger" — a sortable table of all epics across your selected projects. A chip in the section header shows the total count of epics.

The table includes the following columns:

• Ref — The epic's reference ID. Click to navigate to the epic's detail page.

• State — Active or Backlog.

• Title — The epic name and its associated project.

• Tasks — Count by state: to-do, doing, done.

• Est — Total estimated hours (scope).

• Actual — Total actual hours logged.

• Burn% — Budget burn percentage, color-coded green, orange, or red.

• Pressure — Demand vs. capacity for this epic.

• Vel — Velocity (hours per day).

• Lead — The assigned lead's avatar and username.

Click any column header to sort the table by that column. When there are no epics, the message "No epics to display" is shown.
