Spend Analytics Tab

Spend Analytics is the default tab when you open a job. Three charts: a weekly stacked area showing how spend has accumulated over time, a monthly stacked bar of the same data at a coarser grain, and a category pie. The page is mostly visual — the charts speak for themselves, and your job here is to know what each chart represents and what each one will let you do.

This is the per-job analytics view. The portfolio-wide Analytics page is a separate surface that compares jobs across the org.

Weekly Spend by Category​

Across the top, full width: a stacked area chart with one band per category. Oldest week sits on the left, the most recent on the right. Hover any week to see a tooltip with the breakdown for that week.

Below the chart, six clickable legend pills toggle individual category bands on and off. Click a pill to hide its band; click again to bring it back. A hidden category shows a strike-through label and a gray dot on its pill.

The six toggleable categories are:

  • Labor
  • Concrete
  • Material
  • Sub
  • Rental
  • Change Order
The legend toggles visibility, not data

Hiding Labor doesn't subtract Labor dollars from anything else on the page — it just removes that band so the other categories are easier to read. Reset by clicking the pill again.

Monthly Spend by Category​

Lower-left: the same data as the weekly area, rolled up to monthly grain and rendered as a stacked bar chart. Best for "spend by month" conversations with executives. The same six toggleable categories work here too.

Cost by Category pie​

Lower-right: a pie chart with one slice per category that has any spend on this job. Below the pie, a clean list of category name plus total dollar amount.

The pie is the only chart on this tab you can click.

Click a slice to drill in

Click any pie slice to jump straight to the PO Detail tab with that category pre-selected as a filter. It's the fastest way to go from "where did the money go?" to "show me every PO in that bucket."

Six categories on the time-series, seven possible on the pie​

This catches readers who count the legend pills and then see an extra slice on the pie.

The weekly area and monthly bar charts only render the six categories listed above. Pump is intentionally absent from those two charts because every Pump row in source data resolves to $0 — adding a flat zero band to a stacked chart isn't useful.

The pie includes Pump if the job has any Pump rows at all. So if you're looking at a job with Pump activity, the pie will show a Pump slice (often with no visible angle because the dollars are zero) and the time-series charts won't.

Pump dollars are always $0

That's not a bug. Pump rows exist in source data but their dollar values are never populated. See Pump in the Glossary.

Empty state​

A brand-new job — or one whose source data hasn't landed yet — won't have anything to chart. The tab shows a single line:

No time-series data available for this job.

If you see that, the job is either too new to have a week of activity yet, or the source data is still in flight.

Why the rightmost week may look low​

Recent weeks can look incomplete

The numbers behind these charts come from materialized tables that refresh every four hours. So a labor line clocked in this morning won't appear until the next refresh. The most recent week on the chart is the most likely to look low for that reason — give it a few hours and it'll catch up. See Data Refresh Rates.

What you can't do here​

  • Click a band on the area chart — the area chart is read-only (with the toggleable legend). The pie is the only clickable chart on this tab.
  • Click a bar on the monthly chart — same. Read-only.
  • Drill from the rolled-up totals to a specific week's POs — the pie's category filter is the only "jump to PO Detail" interaction.
