This article reviews the labor dashboard master. 

Upon opening the Labor Dashboard Master, users may be prompted to select a date parameter. The default setting is set to the date that is 3 months back from the current date.  Once loaded, the dashboard master will feature the data within the date window. 

This dashboard cannot be edited. However, should any changes need to be made, users can duplicate this dashboard master and edit the copy.

The labor dashboard master uses the Labor Dataset to create the following visualizations:

• Total Actual Hours
• Actual Shift Count
• Total Actual Wages
• Labor %
• Actual vs. Scheduled Hours
• Actual vs. Scheduled Wages
• Actual vs. Scheduled Shifts
• Labor Summary
• Labor Efficiency Analysis
• Void Analysis

Total Actual Hours

	Field	Description
	Total Actual Hours	The total number of hours worked within the selected date parameter.
	Scheduled Hours	The total number of hours that were scheduled within the selected date parameter.
	Variance	The variance percent. This variance is based on the comparison between the hours scheduled and the hours worked.

This visualization was created using the following metrics:

• Total Actual Hours
• Total Scheduled Hours

Actual Shift Count

	Field	Description
	Actual Shift Count	The number of shifts worked within the selected date parameter.
	Scheduled Shift Count	The number of shifts scheduled within the selected date parameter.
	Variance	The variance percent. This variance is based on the comparison between scheduled shift count and actual shift count.

This visualization was created using the following metrics:

• Actual Shift Count
• Scheduled Shift Count

Total Actual Wages

	Field	Description
	Total Actual Wages	The total dollar amount of all wages paid to employees within the selected date parameter.
	Scheduled Wages	The total dollar amount of all wages scheduled to be paid to employees based on the scheduled hours within the selected date parameter.
	Variance	The variance percent. This variance is based on the comparison between scheduled wages and actual wages.

This visualization was created using the following metrics:

• Total Actual Wages
• Total Scheduled Wages

Labor %

The labor percent shows the percent of labor used within the selected date parameter. This is calculated by taking the Total Actual Wages metric and dividing it by the Gross Sales metric.

This visualization was created using the following metric:
