Submittal Dashboard

Modified on Fri, 12 Dec at 11:30 PM

The Submittals Dashboard provides a consolidated view of all submittal activity within a project, helping you monitor request volumes, due dates, approval progress, and overall workflow status. It presents key metrics through interactive charts that surface trends in submittal requests and responses. The information shown adapts to your project role, ensuring that every user sees the insights relevant to their responsibilities.

  • General Contractors – Access complete submittal statistics for the entire project.
  • Subcontractors, Architects, and Other Stakeholders – View statistics only for the submittals in which you are directly involved as a creator, assignee, reviewer, or approver.

You can filter the charts by status, type, contractor, and more to focus on the details that matter. Cross-filtering allows chart selections to update related visuals, helping you quickly narrow down data and understand patterns at a glance. For more information, see Cross Filtering Options.

Click on a sector to set that contractor as a filter and apply the same as filter criteria to other charts. See Cross Filtering Options to learn more about this.

Resolution Timeline

The graph shows the month-wise comparisons of the number of submittals that were responded to and delayed. This assists the project managers in having a tab on pending submittals that need attention. 

  • Hover over a month to see detailed statistics of Submittals created and closed during that month
  • See Zoom and Filter Options to focus on particular data on the chart.

Cross Filtering Options

The cross-filtering feature enables you to choose a category on one chart and instantly apply that category as a filter across all visualizations. This action refines the data displayed in the other charts, showing only the statistics related to the selected category of Submittals. Additionally, you can layer multiple filters by selecting different sectors across the charts, allowing for deeper, more specific analysis of the filtered results.

Note: You can add custom filtering options only from the donut/pie charts and the tables in the dashboard. 
  • Click on any sector within the donut charts to filter other charts with that category as filter criteria
  • Repeat the process on the other charts successively to drill down the results.

The Filters pane on the left shows the successively applied filters

  • Click the 'X' mark beside a filter to remove it.

Illustration:

For example, you want to view statistics of submittals that are 'In Progress' status and of 'Shop drawings' type, you can cascade these two filters from the respective charts:

  • Click the 'In Progress' sector in the 'Submittals Status Distribution' chart

All charts are filtered to show only the statistics of submittals that are in progress.

  • Then click 'Shop Drawings' in the 'Submittal Type Distribution' chart 

The charts now show only the Submittals that are in progress and of the 'Shop drawings' type.

 

The 'Filters' pane on the left shows the filters applied in order.

  • Click the 'X' button beside a filter to remove it
