Hours By Service Report

To get a broad view of the scheduling activity in terms of hours assigned, you can use the Hours by Service report from the Reports button. This report shows the Assigned Hours and Total Hours for all Services, and for each individual Service.

When you first open the report, it will open on the current month. To choose a different month or some other time period, click on the drop-down time period picker list at the top of the form. You can also change the start and end dates directly, to get pretty much any time period you want.

Once you’ve set the time period, it will display a list of all Services that have some activity during that period (this may take a moment, the first time the report is opened). If the “focus” is on the time period picker field (in other words, if it is highlighted), you can cycle through the options with the arrow keys on your keyboard.

At the top of the report, the Assigned Hours and Total Hours for that period for all Services are displayed. Assigned Hours means just that: the hours that have been assigned to a Caregiver; Total Hours means the total of all the hours that are assigned and should be assigned (Open Shifts).

The main section of this report screen is the list of Services with activity during that period, with one line per Service. Each line shows the Name of the Client, the Service Type, the Assigned Hours and Total Hours during the selected month. Double-clicking on a line will bring up the Service form for that Service.
