Dashboard example #1 - Get an overview of maintenance jobs
A report on job completion performance can provide insights into whether tasks are performed on time. Use dashboards to create an overview of overdue and critical jobs. Additionally, you can display job triggers per vessel and see how many jobs are triggered by calendar, counter, docking, measurement, or run-once jobs.
Dashboard example #2 - Create a dashboard matching the daily tasks of your crew
You decide which information is relevant to your crew. Talk to the crew and create a dashboard matching their daily tasks.
In this dashboard, a superintendent gets the perfect overview of his day with focus on defect, upcoming, and overdue jobs. The superintendent can also track deliveries and upcoming certificate tasks or technical reviews. This dashboard functions as a nice reminder and helps structure the operations onboard.
