# Get analytics

{% note info "" %}

Dashboards and reports are optional tools when you're starting out. Create them when you realize you need them.

{% endnote %}

Sometimes a team needs to see the big picture: how many issues were closed over a period, how the workload is distributed among employees, and whether employees are keeping up with the flow of issues. Reports and dashboards help with this:

-   **Report** — this is an XLSX, XML, or CSV file containing a list of issues or time spent. It's convenient to export, send to colleagues, analyze in a spreadsheet, or transfer to another system.
-   **Dashboard** — this is a page in Tracker with charts, tables, and issue lists. Use a dashboard if you want to see all important metrics in real time and in one place.

## What is a report {#about-report}

A report is a file with data from issues in Tracker. It doesn't update automatically: if you need a new data snapshot, generate the report again.

There are two types of reports:
-   **Issue report** — a table with any issue parameters. Suitable for project status updates, exporting sprint issues, transferring a list to another team or program. Learn more: [Issue report](#).
-   **Report on time spent** — shows how much time assignees spent on issues. Suitable for contractor reporting, monthly timesheets, and assessing team effort over a period. Learn more: [Report on time spent](#).

### How to create a report {#create-report}

1.  In the left panel, click <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="16" height="16" fill="none" viewBox="0 0 18 18"><path fill="currentColor" fill-rule="evenodd" d="M13.5 3.94H9.84v4.22h5.35V5.63c0-.94-.76-1.7-1.69-1.7m1.69 5.91H9.84v4.22h3.66c.93 0 1.69-.75 1.69-1.69zM8.16 8.16V3.94H4.5c-.93 0-1.69.75-1.69 1.68v2.54zM2.8 9.84h5.35v4.22H4.5a1.69 1.69 0 0 1-1.69-1.69zm1.7-7.59a3.38 3.38 0 0 0-3.37 3.38v6.75a3.38 3.38 0 0 0 3.37 3.37h9a3.38 3.38 0 0 0 3.38-3.37V5.62a3.38 3.38 0 0 0-3.38-3.37z" clip-rule="evenodd"/></svg> **Dashboards and reports**.
2.  In the top-right corner, click **Create** → **Report** or **Report on time spent**.
3.  In the **Data source** field, specify the search criteria: issues that match them will appear in the report.
    
    <!-- source: en/_includes/dashboards.md -->
    - **Filter** — here you can select a quick filter, such as "Reported by me", or your saved filter. [How to save an issue filter](https://yandex.com.tr/support/tracker/en/user/create-filter.md)
    - **Query language** — here you can enter a condition in query format. Choose this if you need to insert a function or combine several conditions with the "AND" and "OR" operators. [How to set a condition using the query language](https://yandex.com.tr/support/tracker/en/user/query-filter.md)
    - **Parameters** — here you can set up a condition using buttons. [How to add search conditions](https://yandex.com.tr/support/tracker/en/user/create-filter.md#set-conditions)
    <!-- endsource: en/_includes/dashboards.md -->

4.  Fill in the other parameters and click **Generate report**.

The report is generated in the background. This can take from a few seconds to several minutes — it depends on the volume of data. You can download the file when the status changes to **Ready**.

{% note info "" %}

To avoid filling in the **Data source**, you can create a report directly on the page with the issue list: this could be a queue, project, or filter. Learn more in the article [Create a report from an issue list](https://yandex.com.tr/support/tracker/en/user/reports.md).

{% endnote %}

## What is a dashboard {#about-dashboard}

A dashboard is a page with widgets. You can add issue lists, charts, tables, and notes to it. Data on a widget is updated at the frequency you selected in the settings.

You can send a link to a ready-made dashboard to your team or colleagues from other departments so they can view the current issue data themselves. Learn more in the article [Configuring access to a dashboard](https://yandex.com.tr/support/tracker/en/user/share-dashboard.md).

You can also set a dashboard as the Tracker homepage. This is especially convenient at the start of the workday — you'll see all important changes on one screen instead of searching through different sections. Learn more in the article [Making a dashboard your start page](https://yandex.com.tr/support/tracker/en/user/startpage-dashboard.md)

2.  Enter a name and click **Create** again.
3.  An empty dashboard will open: you need to populate it with widgets. Which widgets to choose and how to add them is described in the article [What you can add to a dashboard](https://yandex.com.tr/support/tracker/en/user/widgets.md).
