Jobs by Service Widget
How to read the Jobs by Service chart on the Dashboard, including what the slice size means and what extra figures appear in the tooltip.
Jobs by Service, titled Breakdown by Service on the Dashboard, is the pie chart that helps you judge which services are driving the most weight. It is useful when you want a service mix view rather than a status view.
What the Chart Shows
- Slice size: The pie is driven by the work done for each service, not just by the number of jobs.
- Service names: Each slice is one service type.
- Tooltip detail: When you hover a slice, Work Planner shows both the number of jobs and the Work done for that service.
How to Read It Well
- Large slice, low job count: Often means that service brings in higher-value work.
- Large job count, smaller slice: Often means that service is frequent but lower value per visit.
- Date range matters: Because the work done is part of the calculation, the selected date range changes how useful the chart is and can change the balance between services significantly.
Good Uses
- Service mix check: A quick way to see whether the business is being carried by one service or spread more evenly.
- Pricing sense check: Helpful when one service produces a lot of jobs but less work done than expected.
- Planning conversations: Useful when deciding which services deserve more attention, marketing, or operational capacity.
