Direct Answer: What Are Reporting Dashboards in OnePlan?
Reporting Dashboards in OnePlan are configurable, built-in reporting pages that let you visualize plan, work, financial, resource, and timesheet data directly inside OnePlan — no third-party reporting tool required. Each dashboard is made up of Widgets (cards, charts, tables, pivot charts, heatmaps, and gauges) that pull real-time data from your plans and work items. Dashboards can be created for any Portfolio Area, Plan, Global Resource Plan, or Modeler view that has the Dashboards control activated.

Why This Matters: Reporting Dashboards
Centralized, Real-Time Reporting
Reporting Dashboards in OnePlan bring reporting directly into the platform where your work lives. Rather than exporting data to an external tool, dashboards pull live data from your plans and work items so visualizations always reflect current state.
Flexible Across Five Locations
Dashboards work at the portfolio level (summary views across many plans), the plan level (detailed views of tasks and activities within a single plan), the timesheet level, the Global Resource Plan, and the Portfolio Modeler. This means you can build executive-level summaries, team operational views, resource management dashboards, and scenario-planning views using the same toolset.
Built to Share and Reuse
OnePlan dashboards can be copied within a group, exported to a file, and imported into another environment — making it easy to standardize reporting configurations across teams and projects.
Understanding Reporting Dashboards in OnePlan
Where Dashboards Are Available
Reporting Dashboards can be configured for any OnePlan Plan Type or Area that has the Dashboards control activated. This includes:
- My Portfolio and other Portfolio Areas
- Individual plans (projects, programs, epics, engagements, etc.)
- The Global Resource Plan
- The Portfolio Modeler
Each dashboard lives on a tab. You can create as many dashboard tabs as needed within a plan or area. See How to Create a Reporting Dashboard Tab in OnePlan for setup instructions.
Dashboard Locations
OnePlan dashboards exist in five locations. Available data sources and widget types depend on where the dashboard is configured:
- Portfolio Area — Displays data aggregated across plans in the Portfolio Area. Supports Plans, Financials, and Resource Plans data sources.
- Plan — Displays data from a specific plan (project, program, epic, engagement, etc.). Supports Work Items, Plan, Financials, Resource Plans, and Timesheets data sources.
- Timesheet — Displays timesheet data for the current user. No data source selection — data is pulled automatically.
- Global Resource Plan — Displays resource data from the Global Resource Plan. No data source selection required.
- Modeler — Displays data from the active model in Portfolio Modeler. No data source selection required.

Widget Types
OnePlan offers six categories of reporting widgets:
- Cards — Display a single KPI or summary metric at a glance.
- Charts — Visualize trends, comparisons, and distributions (area, bar, column, line, pie, donut, stacked, combo, and bubble chart styles available).
- Tables — Present detailed, sortable, row-and-column data.
- Pivot Charts — Dynamically group and analyze data (supports financial and timesheet data).
- Heatmaps — Visually compare data across two dimensions to quickly spot trends and outliers. Available on Portfolio, Plan, and Global Resource Plan dashboards.
- Gauges — Track progress against a target. Available on Portfolio, Plan, Global Resource Plan, and Modeler dashboards.

Dashboard Management Features
OnePlan includes several features for managing and sharing dashboards:
Copy — Duplicate an existing dashboard within the same group to reuse a layout without rebuilding it. See How to Copy a Dashboard in OnePlan.
Export — Download a dashboard to a .json file (excluding Power BI tabs). The export includes layout, widgets, widget settings, filters, and slicers. See How to Export Dashboards in OnePlan.
Import — Upload a .json dashboard file into any supported OnePlan environment. Field mapping ensures the dashboard displays correctly in the new environment. See How to Import Dashboards in OnePlan.
Full-Screen Widgets — Expand any widget to full screen for focused analysis or presentations. See How to Resize, Rearrange, and Full-Screen Widgets in OnePlan.
Dashboard Slicers and Filters
Each dashboard supports Slicers — fields displayed directly on the dashboard page that let viewers filter data interactively without editing the dashboard. You can use most plan or work fields as slicers, including number, currency, choice, multichoice, lookup, multilookup, and date range fields.
In addition to slicers, you can set filters on the dashboard itself (which data flows into the entire dashboard) and on individual widgets (which further refine data within a specific widget).
Note: Widget-level filters layer on top of dashboard-level filters. If they conflict, a widget may show no data. Configure widget filters carefully.
Common Scenarios
Portfolio health summary — Create a Portfolio-level dashboard with card widgets for count, budget, and benefits KPIs, chart widgets for budget by category and business unit, and a table widget listing all portfolios with key metrics.
Plan-level risk tracking — Create a Plan-level dashboard filtered to Risk work items, with cards for total and active risk counts, pie charts for risk by priority and impact, and a table listing all risks with stage and health status.
