Your community dashboard is a powerful tool that provides real-time visibility into the performance of your organization’s programs, projects, and initiatives. Instantaneous reporting allows you to quickly identify trends, pinpoint areas for improvement, and make data-driven decisions to optimize program effectiveness.
Fuel Cycle Software’s Community Dashboard feature lets you access interactive visuals with detailed insights on key metrics like member rates or quick poll completions. This enables you to track progress over time and gain valuable insight into the impact of your efforts.
Users have access to current information for the community. There are four distinct sections:
- Quick Actions
- Member Trends
- Community Statistics
- Currently Published Activities

Member Trends
When viewing any of these reports and you change the graph scale to week or month, an average of the database snapshots is displayed.
Current Total Members
When viewing the Current Total Members tile, you will see the current total members (Active plus Inactive), giving you a real-time view of your community size. This feature is not affected by any date filters, representing the current snapshot of total members.
Current Active Rate
When viewing the Current Active rate tile, you will see the current active rate (Active Members divided by Total Members), giving you a real-time view of the active rate. This feature is not affected by any date filters and instead represents the current daily snapshot of members.
Total Members Over Time
To understand community membership trends, total community membership over time is shown in a chart so you can make decisions and gain insights regarding member management.
The count of total members includes both active and inactive members. This chart allows you to view the daily totals over a specific period. You can export the chart as an image (PNG, JPEG, SVG), PDF, CSV, or Excel file by clicking the hamburger menu in the upper right of the chart.
Active Rate Over Time
If you want to understand activity rates, you can view the community activity rate over time so you can make decisions regarding member retention and rewards.
Active Rate is determined by dividing the total number of active members by the total members based on a daily snapshot of community data. This chart allows you to see the active rate over a specific period. You can export the chart as an image (PNG, JPEG, SVG), PDF, CSV, or Excel file by clicking the hamburger menu in the upper right of the chart.
