Caseload Dashboard
A detailed guide to using the caseload monitoring dashboard to understand your organization's workload distribution.
The caseload dashboard provides a comprehensive view of how work is distributed across your organization. This guide walks through each section and explains how to use it effectively.
Accessing the Dashboard
Navigate to Monitoring in the sidebar to access the caseload dashboard.
The dashboard loads with your current caseload data. If you see a message about no data, check that your data source is connected and synced.
Dashboard Layout
The dashboard is organized into several sections:
Summary Cards
At the top, you'll see quick metrics:
Total Clients The total number of clients across all team caseloads.
- Watch for unexpected changes
- Compare to your expected count
Total Teams The number of team caseloads included in the view.
- Should match your current team structure
- Excludes inactive teams
Average Caseload Mean number of clients per team.
- Quick indicator of typical team workload
- Compare to your target caseload size
Balance Score A measure of how evenly work is distributed across teams.
- Lower is better (more balanced)
- Watch for trends over time
Interactive Map
The main map shows aggregate metrics by geographic area:
Geographic Areas Each area represents a postal code or service zone.
- Color indicates assigned team caseload
- Click to see aggregate metrics for the area
- Hover for quick summary (client count, visit hours, etc.)
Territory Visualization Optional overlays show:
- Region boundaries
- Team caseload territories
- Coverage areas
Team Caseload Table
A sortable table with details for each team caseload:
| Column | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Team | Team caseload name (click for details) |
| Client Count | Number of clients in the territory |
| Worker Count | Number of workers assigned to the team |
| Visit Hours | Total visit hours for the territory |
| Utilization | Percentage of capacity used |
Sort by any column to identify:
- Overloaded teams (high utilization)
- Underutilized teams (low utilization)
- Imbalanced distribution
Distribution Chart
A visual representation of caseload distribution:
Histogram View Shows how caseloads are distributed across the team.
- Tall bars at extremes indicate imbalance
- Even distribution creates a bell curve
Box Plot View Alternative visualization showing:
- Median caseload
- Quartile ranges
- Outliers
