Performance Insights on monday.com: Analysis and Tracking
Looking to track your and your team’s performance on certain projects? Wouldn’t it be great to be able to track how long the creation phase took compared to the production phase, or how long it took to close your sales deal? With our Performance Insights View, you can now track how long your items were in a certain state or stage and analyze your productivity much better!
How to add this view?
To add the Performance Insights View, click the plus sign next to the “Main Table” tab in the top left of your dashboard. Click “Apps” at the bottom of the menu. Then, click “Explore more apps.” This will take you to the Apps area in the center of the views. 
Then, search for “Performance Insights” and add it to your board.
Once you select, you will find a set of different settings that allow you to customize your display to reflect the information you are looking for.
How does it work?
Once you’ve set up your Performance Insights view (see how below), you can track and weigh the time you spent in specific modes over any given period of time. The duration information will be pulled from the Activity Log on your dashboard. If there was no change in status in the journal during the selected period, the information displayed will be based on the item’s status tag from the start of the period to the end of the period (i.e., now).
When analyzing your graph, be sure to look at the status tag you’re interested in to understand how much time was spent on it. For example, if you’re interested in seeing how much time was spent working on a project before it was completed, you’ll need to look at the “Working” status tag, not “Completed.” 
How to adjust it?
Step 1: Select the status column to be measured
Click on the settings icon in the top right corner of the screen. Here you can choose which status column you want to measure. If you are interested in knowing how long your projects are at a certain stage in the process, at a certain priority, or anything else.
Step 2: Select the time period you are interested in
This refers to the time period you want to analyze and compare. For example, if you want to see how much time was spent on each stage of your project over the past month, and compare it to the previous month, select “Month.” 
Step 3: Select the calculation type
Here you can decide whether you want to see the average time spent on the situation or the cumulative time spent. 
Step 4: Select the Y-axis position unit
If you want to see the average or cumulative value in weeks, days, hours, or minutes, you can set this here to suit your needs. We are interested in seeing the average number of days spent on a specific situation, so we selected “days.” 
Step 6: Get an in-depth analysis of your data
If you want to take a closer look at the data and get a more focused picture, you can temporarily remove irrelevant tags from the graph, simply by clicking on the status tag itself (at the bottom of the view), to reduce noise. Let’s say we want to see all status tags except “Stuck”. 
To remove comparison data or the delta option, simply click on the tag itself (at the top of the view) and it will also be temporarily removed. 
Refine your graph even further
You can filter directly on your chart using the dashboard filters. This is a great way to display the exact information you need. Let’s say we want to see only the tasks on my board from the “Current” group that are categorized as high and medium priority. By selecting the relevant groups, names, or any other tag, the filter will narrow down all related items and display only those. 
You can also access more advanced and narrower filters from this drop-down menu. Simply click “Switch to advanced filters” as shown below: 
You can switch between “Quick Filters” and “Advanced Filters” using the button at the bottom of the filter menu.
Display settings
You can choose whether you want your graph to be in full view or split view. If you choose split view, you can see the graph and the board itself in the same view, as shown below:
