Active Workload by Stage

Bar length is each person's active caseload — how evenly work is split. Segments show which stage that work sits at. Sorted by load.

Ageing of Active Work

Average and oldest days open per person. Long bars mean work is sitting, which a headcount alone will not show.

Licences Dashboard — User Guide

How to load data, use filters, and interpret what you see

1

What this dashboard is for

The Licences Dashboard gives the RBN Licensing team a live view of every builder licence application in the pipeline. It answers three questions at a glance:

Where?

Where are applications sitting right now in the pipeline?

Pace?

Is the team keeping up with the volume coming in?

Quality?

Are there data issues that need attention?

2

Loading data

When you open the dashboard it will automatically connect to SharePoint and sign you in with your Microsoft account. Once loaded, the data reflects the current state of the Master Licence List workbook.

Sign-in popup blocked? Allow popups for this page in your browser settings, then click Refresh Data.

SharePoint unavailable? Click Manual Upload and load the Excel file from your computer. The dashboard works identically either way.

3

Filters

The filter bar runs across the top of every tab. All filters work together — applying one narrows results across all charts, tables, and KPI cards simultaneously.

State / Licence Type / Stage / Specialist / Lic. Support / Month

Multiselect — click the dropdown, tick one or more options, dashboard updates immediately. Selected values appear as blue pills. Click × on a pill to remove it.

Fin. Year

Single-select dropdown. Financial year runs July–June. FY2025 = July 2024 through June 2025. Picking a year greys out months outside that year in the Month filter.

Reset Filters clears all selections at once. The Stage filter is hidden on the Monthly Submitted tab — that tab always shows submitted applications only.

4

Dashboard tabs

Overview

Your daily starting point. KPI summary cards across the top, pipeline stage breakdown, and intake volume chart by month.

Monthly Submitted

Submitted application trends by month, using Submitted Timestamp. Toggle between view modes. Shows month-on-month change.

New Applications

Application intake volume using Created Date — how many new applications entered the pipeline each month regardless of stage.

Specialist Workload

Per-specialist application counts and progress. Shows active vs submitted and percentage averages per person.

Data Health

Active data quality alerts that need team attention. See section 6 below for details on each alert type.

5

Reading the KPI cards (Overview tab)

Total Applications — every record in the system, active and submitted, for the current filter selection.

Active (incl. Not Assigned) — everything that hasn't been submitted yet. Includes records with no specialist assigned.

Submitted — completed applications, shown as a count and a percentage of total.

Avg Days to Submit — average calendar days from Onboarding to Submitted for completed records only. Records still in progress are excluded so they don't drag the number down artificially.

Specialists Active — number of distinct specialists with at least one record in the filtered view.

Where a prior month snapshot exists, a small delta tag shows movement versus last month.

6

Data Health alerts

The Data Health tab surfaces three categories of issues. These are records the team should act on to keep the data accurate.

🔴 Nobody in charge
Every live application with no specialist on it, at any stage — including ones with no stage set yet, which are the most likely to have been forgotten. Submitted work is excluded, since finished applications need no owner. Tick the rows and assign straight from this tab; the count drops as you clear it.

🟡 Missing admin %
Onboarding-stage records with no Percentage Complete (admin side) filled in. The team should update this field as they review documents.

🟣 Client ahead of admin
The client's Feathery % Complete is significantly higher than the admin review %. This may mean the team hasn't caught up with documents the client has already submitted.

7

A note on percentages

The dashboard tracks two distinct percentage fields — do not confuse them:

Client %

% Complete (Feathery)

How much of the application form the client has filled out. This is the applicant's progress — the team does not control this number.

Admin %

Percentage_Complete_[suffix]

How much of the admin review is done — has the team reviewed the documents and locked them down? The team fills this in manually.

Blank percentage fields are excluded from averages — they are not treated as 0%. A coverage indicator shows how many records contributed to each average.

8

Assigning specialists and support

On the Data tab, tick one or more records, choose a specialist and a support person, then press Review & assign. A panel slides in listing every record that will change — untick any you want to leave alone, then Save. Changes are written straight back to the SharePoint list: the same field you would edit by hand in SharePoint, recorded against your name in the record's version history.

Who appears in the list

Staff already on records

The dropdowns list the specialists and support people who already appear on records in SharePoint, ordered by active caseload. The list is built from live data every time it loads, so it follows staff changes on its own — there is nothing to edit in the dashboard when someone joins, leaves, or swaps roles.

Paired support

Filled in automatically

Choosing a specialist fills in the support person they most often work with, learned from the records themselves rather than from a fixed list. You can always change it — an unusual pairing shows a warning, but it is never blocked.

A new starter will not appear until they are on at least one record. The dashboard learns a person's SharePoint identity from records they are already on — it cannot invent one, so someone who has never been set as a specialist or support person has no identity to write. If a name is missing, open any one record in SharePoint, set that person by hand, then reload the dashboard. They will be available from then on.

If every checkbox is greyed out, assignment is switched off — no licence list has been write-enabled yet. This is the default: the dashboard is read-only until write access is deliberately turned on for a list.
