7.1 Dashboard Data and Calculations
KPI Summary Cards:
- Total Orders (1,247): Real-time count of all service orders ( month )
- Overdue Orders (45): Count of orders where current_date > creation_date AND status ≠ 'Completed', displayed with red indicator
- Average Resolution Time (4.2 hrs): Calculated as SUM(completion_date - creation_date) / COUNT(completed_orders) for completed orders in time period
- Total Cost ($284,750): SUM(labor_cost + material_cost + equipment_cost) for all orders in selected period ( month )
Service Orders Status Distribution:
- created: COUNT of orders created
- Overdue: COUNT of orders overdue
- Assigned: COUNT of orders WHERE status = 'In Progress' OR status = 'Assigned'
- Completed: COUNT of orders WHERE status = 'Completed'
SLA Performance Metrics:
- SLA Orders (754): COUNT of orders with defined SLA requirements complted within time period
- SLA Violations (155): COUNT of orders WHERE (completion_date - creation_date) > sla_target_time OR current_date > sla_due_date
- SLA Compliance (82.3%): Calculated as ((SLA Orders - SLA Violations) / Total SLA Orders) × 100
- Monthly SLA Trend: Monthly aggregation of SLA compliance percentage with green/red trend indicators
Service Orders by Source:
- Total order : total number of service orders recivied from other - meter, consumer , asset.
- from 3 sources (84%) : how much these 3 sources take from the total service orders that have been created in disptacher
Monthly Service Order Cost:
- Current Month ($46K): SUM of all order costs for current month
- Previous Month ($45.5K): SUM of all order costs for previous month
- Trend Line: Monthly cost aggregation over 6-month period with trend visualization
- Variance Calculation: ((Current Month - Previous Month) / Previous Month) × 100
Status Color Coding Rules:
- Completed: Green background
- In Progress: Blue background
- Pending: Orange background
- Overdue: Red background (when current_date > planned_completion_date)

Count of orders where current_date > creation_date AND status ≠ 'Completed', displayed with red indicator -> correct the formula
Calculated as SUM(completion_date - creation_date) / COUNT(completed_orders) for completed orders in time period -> Mention the time period in for every card or globally
SLA Compliance (82.3%): Calculated as ((SLA Orders - SLA Violations) / Total SLA Orders) × 100 -> remove this
from 3 sources (84%) : how much these 3 sources take from the total service orders that have been created in disptacher -> This metric is not required
Variance Calculation: ((Current Month - Previous Month) / Previous Month) × 100 -> Couldnt find this metric in the wireframe
Did not mention what the quick-action buttons should do
No mention of search bar and results fetched from the search
Provide formulas for all the percentage changes you have mentioned in the wireframe
impact analysis column is empty in process changes
Mention about filters provided in every card
