Reports — Data-driven insights for team planning

Overview

The Reports module lives in the Workspace View and gives you five ready-made report templates. Each template answers a different question about your team's time, capacity, or project progress. You can filter results, bookmark configurations you use often, and export any report to CSV.

Open the app in Workspace View and click Reports in the left sidebar. You will see two tabs:

Reports gallery showing the five report template cards and the Bookmarked Reports tab
Tip Reports pull data from worklogs, timesheets, leave records, and from monday.com items, people, and timelines. Make sure your boards have the correct column mappings in Settings so reports show accurate data.

Report Types

1. Utilization Forecast

The Utilization Forecast shows each team member's remaining workload and utilization from today forward. It uses remaining estimates (Original Estimate minus logged worklogs) so you see real future load, not already-completed work. Past periods are excluded — the report focuses on what lies ahead.

Key columns

ColumnWhat it shows
Total Available Working hours based on the user's capacity scheme, minus holidays and approved leave.
Utilized Remaining estimated hours (Original Estimate minus logged worklogs) for future days. For Hours Per Day items, the daily rate is shown as-is.
Rate Utilized divided by Total Available, shown as a percentage. Cells are color-coded: green for balanced, orange for warning (100-120%), and red for overloaded (above 120%).

Grouping options

Use the Group by setting to organize results:

Utilization Forecast showing per-person daily utilization with color-coded cells
Important Set up capacity schemes before relying on utilization percentages. Without them the report assumes 8 hours per day, Monday to Friday, which may not match part-time or contractor schedules.

2. Board Resources Forecast

The Board Resources Forecast shows how remaining effort is distributed across your boards and projects from today forward. It uses remaining estimates (Original Estimate minus logged worklogs) to reflect real allocation, not already-completed work. Each board appears as a row with a total, and you can expand it to see per-person allocations broken down by day, week, or month. For actual logged time history, use the Detailed Worklog report.

Table structure

ColumnWhat it shows
Board Name The monday.com board. Each row shows total scheduled hours across all assignees.
Person Expandable sub-rows under each board showing per-person allocation.
Total Sum of scheduled hours for the entire reporting period.
Date columns Scheduled hours broken down by day, week, or month depending on the selected scope.
Board Resources Forecast showing remaining hours distributed across future working days per board and person
Note This report shows scheduled hours (planned work) from the Numbers column, not actual logged time. To see actual hours worked, use the Detailed Worklog report instead.

3. Leave Report

The Leave Report tracks approved leave days for every team member. It provides a timeline view with a breakdown by leave type, making it easy to plan around upcoming absences and spot coverage gaps.

Key columns

ColumnWhat it shows
Person The team member's name.
Total Total leave days taken across all types for the reporting period.
H (Holidays) Holiday days from the user's assigned holiday scheme.
Leave type columns One column per leave type (for example, AL for Annual Leave, SL for Sick Leave) showing total days.
Date columns Leave days per day, week, or month depending on the selected scope.
Leave Report showing per-person leave days by type with monthly breakdown
Note Only approved leave appears in this report. Pending or rejected requests are excluded. Process leave requests through Leave Management before running the report.

Use cases

Relationship to worklogs This report uses only leave and holiday data — it does not reference worklogs or remaining estimates. It is unaffected by the workload indicator mode you choose on the scheduler.

4. Detailed Worklog

The Detailed Worklog lists every work log entry recorded through the time tracking module. It shows logged hours per user, per item, and per board, along with the timesheet approval status for each entry. This is the report to use for invoicing, payroll, and compliance audits.

Report columns

ColumnWhat it shows
Status Timesheet approval status (Approved, Pending, or Rejected).
Approved by The person who approved the timesheet for this entry's period, if applicable.
Person The team member who logged the time.
Date The date the work was performed.
Board The board the item belongs to.
Item The monday.com item the worklog is recorded against.
Time Spent Number of hours logged.
Comment Optional note attached to the worklog entry.

Filters

Tip The Detailed Worklog includes the timesheet approval status for every entry. You can see at a glance which worklogs have been approved and by whom, which makes it well suited for compliance audits.

Approval status values

StatusMeaning
SubmittedTimesheet submitted but not yet reviewed by the approver.
Closed (Approved)Timesheet approved — worklogs are locked and cannot be edited.
Closed (Rejected)Timesheet rejected — the user should correct entries and resubmit.
ReopenedA previously closed timesheet was reopened for edits.
No timesheet submitted for this period — worklog is unsubmitted.

Use cases

Relationship to worklogs This report shows raw worklog entries exactly as logged. It does not use remaining estimates or the workload indicator mode. Every entry reflects actual time recorded through the time tracking module or mobile view.

5. Planned vs Actual

The Planned vs Actual report compares the Original Estimate (planned hours from the mapped hours column) with Time Spent (sum of worklogs for the selected period). It calculates remaining effort and deviation so you can see where projects are on track, over budget, or under-logged.

Two views

Key columns (By Item view)

ColumnWhat it shows
Item Name The monday.com item name. Subitems are indented.
Assignee People assigned to the item.
Start / End Timeline dates from the mapped Timeline column.
Original Estimate Planned hours from the mapped hours column.
Time Spent Sum of worklogs for this item within the selected period.
Remaining Original Estimate minus Time Spent (minimum 0).
Deviation Time Spent minus Original Estimate. A positive number means over budget.
Deviation % (Deviation / Original Estimate) x 100.

Deviation color coding

ColorMeaning
Red Over budget — Time Spent exceeds the Original Estimate.
Green On track — Time Spent is within 20% of the Original Estimate.
Yellow Under-logged — a large gap between estimate and actual hours.
Gray No data — neither estimate nor time spent recorded.
Planned vs Actual By Item view showing items grouped by board with deviation color coding Planned vs Actual By Board view showing board-level totals with a grand total row
Important Make sure an hours column is mapped in Settings. Without it every item shows 0h for Original Estimate, which makes the deviation comparison meaningless. The estimate can come from either the Original Estimate (total) or Hours Per Day column — see how these differ.

Use cases

Relationship to worklogs This report uses original estimates (as entered in monday.com) and raw worklogs. It does NOT use the remaining estimate calculation from the workload indicator. The "Remaining" column here is simply Original Estimate minus Time Spent — a retrospective comparison, not the forward-looking remaining distribution used by the scheduler.

Creating Reports

Follow these steps to generate a report:

Choose a template

In the Report Templates tab, click the card for the report you want.

Configure parameters

A dialog opens with the filters available for that report type:

  • Period — pick a preset range or choose Custom Range with specific dates.
  • Scope — date column granularity: Day, Week, or Month (not available for the Detailed Worklog).
  • Teams — filter by monday.com teams.
  • People — filter by specific team members.
  • Boards — select boards to include. Leave empty for Utilization and Board Resources to include all configured boards (up to 100). At least one board is required for Planned vs Actual.
  • View — By Item or By Board (Planned vs Actual only).
  • Group by — None, Team, Board, or Item (Utilization Forecast only).

Generate the report

Click Create. Results appear in a table. You can reconfigure from the toolbar without starting over.
