# Analytics and dashboards

> ION's built-in dashboards, connecting your BI tools through the Data Connector, and how to troubleshoot a dashboard that looks wrong.

ION turns your operational data into reports without a separate reporting database. Built-in dashboards cover the highest-frequency questions inside ION.

## Built-in dashboards

ION includes dashboards for build readiness, quality, run execution, inventory, and purchasing. They read the same live data your floor uses, so there's no nightly extract and no sync delay.

Each dashboard scopes to a time window, such as the last 30 days, and to the data your role can access.

## Connect your BI tool

For custom reporting in Power BI, Tableau, Looker, Sigma, or a downstream data warehouse, use the Data Connector, a read-only SQL analytics layer over your ION data.

<Tip>
  Pin down each metric's definition before you build on it. "First-pass yield" can mean several different things; pick one, document the query, and reuse it everywhere.

For one-off questions that no dashboard answers, query the [GraphQL API](/api-reference) directly. See [Common Queries](/api-reference/common-queries) for copy-paste patterns.

## Troubleshooting

### A dashboard shows empty or unexpected data

Work through these in order:

1. **Check the date range.** Dashboards scope to a time window, such as the last 30 days. An event outside the window does not appear, so widen the range to cover the period you're investigating.
2. **Check the filters.** A filter left in place from an earlier session can hide current data. Clear the filters, confirm the data appears, then reapply only what you need.
3. **Check your access.** A dashboard shows only the data your role can see. On a limited or test account you may genuinely have no rows, so confirm the role you're signed in with.

If data is still missing after these checks, and others see the same gap on the same dashboard, gather the details under [When you contact support](#when-you-contact-support) and reach out to [support](https://support.firstresonance.io/).

### Autoplan figures look out of date

Figures that depend on Autoplan, such as anticipated demand and clear-to-build, refresh when Autoplan next runs on its configured schedule, not the moment you change an input. A change to a BOM, lead time, or on-hand inventory shows up after the next run.

When Autoplan output looks wrong, check the inputs first. BOMs, lead times, and on-hand inventory at the relevant locations are the usual cause. Wait one run after correcting an input before re-checking.

### Data Connector data seems stale

The Data Connector replicates ION data into its SQL analytics layer asynchronously, so it lags live data slightly. Expected latency is governed by the [SLAs](/automate-with-ion/analytics-and-dashboards/slas). If data is missing well beyond those targets, contact support.

### When you contact support

Include:

* Which dashboard, as a URL or screenshot.
* What you expected versus what you see, with specific numbers.
* The date range and filters in effect.
* When you observed it, and whether it reproduces.
* For Autoplan, the input you changed and when, relative to the next run.
* For the Data Connector, the exact query, its result, and the expected result.
