Dashboard reports

The dashboard reports are the key feature of the site. The reports are laid out in highly versatile way, with varying levels of detail ranging from company to driver level. Permissions can be set up for users so that they only see what they want to see – whether it's all levels from top to bottom or just one depot and all of its drivers. Different report levels can also be created for a higher quality reporting set up. The reports are user friendly with our new 'drill down' feature where users can click on reports to go down through the various levels of detail. FTA members have had a large input in what they would like their reports to do and this feedback has been integral to the development of our new cutting edge reporting.
