Reports & Data

Report Submissions

Report submissions are the daily data entries your team members fill in. Each submission captures the user's activity numbers for their assigned data fields, creating the foundation for your dashboard analytics.

Filling in your daily form

If you're a regular (non-admin) user, the Fill in Form page is your home screen when you log in. You can also open it anytime from Quick actions in the top-right corner.

  1. You'll see your assigned data fields, each with the custom question your admin configured
  2. Enter the values for today
  3. Submit

That's it -- your numbers are recorded for the day.

Submission details

Each submission records:

Field Description
User Who submitted the report
Report date The date the report covers
Submitted at The actual timestamp of submission
Timezone The user's timezone at the time of submission
Field values The number entered for each assigned data field

On-time tracking

Limitlytics tracks whether submissions are on time:

  • A submission is on time if the submission timestamp (converted to the user's timezone) falls on the same day as the report date
  • A late submission shows a warning indicator with how many days late it was

Example: If your report date is April 10 and you submit at 11pm on April 10 in your timezone, it's on time. If you submit on April 12, it shows as 2 days late.

This is why your timezone setting matters -- it determines how "on time" is calculated.

Viewing submissions (admin)

Admins can view all team submissions:

  1. Navigate to Data > Submissions
  2. See a table of all submissions with:
    • Report date
    • Submitted date/time
    • User name
    • Target achievement

Filtering

Filter submissions by:

  • User -- see one person's submissions
  • Date range -- focus on a specific period

Target achievement

If data fields have targets configured, each submission shows how many targets were met:

  • The display shows something like "3/5 targets met"
  • Color-coded for quick assessment:
    • Green -- more than 70% of targets met
    • Yellow -- 50% to 70% of targets met
    • Red -- less than 50% of targets met

This helps admins quickly spot days when team members are exceeding expectations or falling short.

Editing a submission (admin)

Admins can edit any submission:

  1. Navigate to Data > Submissions
  2. Click Edit on the submission
  3. Modify the field values
  4. Save

All changes are audit-logged, showing who made the edit, when, and what the original values were.

Use this sparingly. Editing should be reserved for correcting errors, not retroactively changing data.

Zapier-submitted report data

Zapier can also create or update report submissions for a specific team member and report date.

Important rules:

  • Zapier submissions are still stored as normal report submissions
  • Each Zapier write is tracked separately in the Settings > Integrations > Zapier event history
  • Zapier can submit any supported data field
  • Admins can only undo a Zapier report event when the affected values have not changed since that event was applied

This keeps dashboard analytics consistent while preserving a clear audit trail of what came from Zapier.

How submissions feed into dashboards

The values submitted in daily reports are the raw data behind your dashboard widgets:

  • Stats and charts aggregate field values over time
  • Target tracking shows progress against daily and weekly goals
  • User comparisons use submission data to rank team performance
  • Custom dashboards can display any data field as a stat widget

The more consistently your team submits, the more accurate and useful your dashboards become.

Best practices

  • Submit daily -- consistency is key. Even if it's a slow day, submit zeros rather than skipping.
  • Submit on time -- late submissions affect your on-time metrics and can make daily dashboard data incomplete.
  • Be accurate -- the data you enter drives team decisions. Round to the nearest whole number when in doubt.
  • Check your timezone -- if your on-time status seems wrong, verify your timezone setting matches your actual location.
