The AnyDB Projects Dashboard template offers a centralized, high-level view of multiple projects in progress. It consolidates data from individual project records and dynamically displays their current status, project manager, and completion dates. This dashboard provides real-time insights across all projects using live references to child templates.

Suitable for

Project Management

Description

This template acts as a summary layer, pulling live data from several linked project records. Each project row includes:

  • A project reference
  • Current status (On Track, At Risk, Off Track)
  • Project Manager name
  • Project Completion Date

These values are populated using DYNREF() expressions, which automatically reflect updates made in each project's main template or weekly update. The dashboard also includes color-coded cells for status indicators and formatted dates for easy review in meetings or executive reporting.

This dashboard is designed for use by program managers, PMOs, or leadership teams overseeing multiple initiatives simultaneously.

  • Status – Dynamically updated from the latest project update (color-coded)
  • Project Manager – Pulled directly from the project record
  • Completion Date – Displayed as a formatted date field
  • Dynamic References (DYNREF) – Used to pull values from child templates without manual entry

Business Use Cases
