This self-help guide is for TeamDynamix (TDX) Agents who have reporting permissions in TD Work Management. It covers how to use and create reports and dashboards.
This article uses the Tickets app to demonstrate how to work with reports and dashboards. If you have access to other TDX apps—such as Assets, Projects, Portfolio Planning, or Analysis—you can follow the same steps. The only difference is that you will navigate to the app you want to use instead of Tickets; all other instructions remain the same.

Use Existing Reports
Watch this Reporting Overview. It guides you on how to navigate to reports, find pre-built reports, run existing reports, and copy them.
Reference Reports
The TeamDynamix Admins have created Reference Reports for anyone to use. You can run, copy, customize, or add these reports to your dashboards. There are two categories of these reference reports.
- The 'My ...' reference reports useful for agents to view individual work and they are in the Reference Reports for Agents report folder in TD Work Management.
- The 'Group(s) ...' reference reports are useful to view group work and they are in the Reference Reports for Group report folder in TD Work Management.
Accessing Reference Reports
- Go to TD Work Management, click the Applications menu, and select the Tickets application if you are not already there.
- From the Reports drop-down, select View Reports. The Reports page appears listing all the available report folders and reports.
- In the search box, enter my or group keyword
- Click Search button above the Search box.
The Reference Reports will show in their respective folders. You will still see all the other folders but they will be empty.
- Click the report's Name to access it. The page refreshes and will be blank except for the report option buttons at the top.
- Click the Run Report button to see the results, or click the Actions button then Copy to make a copy of the report that you can customize.
Create New Reports
Watch these videos to learn the steps involved in creating and customizing reports. These videos cover how to add and remove columns, build filter conditions, set share permissions, manage report visibility, and schedule email delivery of report results.
Develop and follow consistent naming conventions for both the reports and the report folders you create.
Do not place your reports in the Reference Reports for Agents or Reference Reports for Groups report folders. Instead, create your own report folder.
Do not set your reports' visibility to Everyone with this application, as this will share your reports with agents outside your group. Remember to check Do not show this report in the navigator unless you want to push the report to the left navigator menu for all your group members.
Share Existing Reports
Report owners can share their reports with both groups and individual agents.
- Login to TD Work Management
- Click the Applications menu, and select the Tickets application if you are not already there.
- From the Reports drop-down, select View Reports. The Reports page appears listing all the available report folders and reports.
- Search for or scroll through to find the report you wish to share.
- Click the report title in the Name column to open it.
- Click the Actions button and choose Edit from the drop-down menu.
- Scroll down to the Owner and Visibility section.
- Choose the radio button for Owner and these People/Groups. A text box will appear.
- Enter the name of the group or individual(s) you want to share the report with.
- Click Save to apply the changes.
Agents you’ve shared a report with can run it, duplicate it to create their own copies, and modify those copies as needed. Sharing a report doesn’t transfer ownership; only the owner can edit the original and any changes to the original won’t affect the duplicated copies.
Use Existing Dashboards
You can use any dashboards available to you. This includes dashboards you created and own, as well as dashboards your group created and shared with you.
The TeamDynamix Admins have also created the following dashboards to provide insights into your assignments:
- Reference Dashboard for Agents – Helps agents view their work.
- Reference Dashboard for Groups – Helps teams view their work.
Choosing a Dashboard:
To choose dashboard for use, follow these steps:
- Sign in to TD Work Management.
TD Work Management displays the default dashboard.
- On the Home tab, open the dropdown list that shows the current dashboard name.
- Select the desired dashboard from the list.
Result: The dashboard you selected appears.
Change Default Dashboard
TD Work Management displays the default dashboard on the Home tab when you log in. You can replace the current default dashboard with another dashboard of your choice. Only one dashboard can be set as the default at a time.
Set a Dashboard as Default
To set an available dashboard as your default, follow these steps:
- Sign in to TD Work Management.
- On the Home tab, in the upper-right corner, click Manage Dashboards.
The Manage Dashboards popup appears, listing available dashboards and the one currently set as default.
- In the Manage Dashboards popup, click Set in the Default column for the dashboard you want to make your default.
- Close the Manage Dashboards popup.
- Refresh your browser to reload the TD Work Management site.
Result: The dashboard you selected is displayed as your new default.
Create New Dashboards
Dashboards let you create custom views of your Work Management data.
If you want a dashboard that displays data from multiple applications, such as Tickets, Asset, or Projects, create it on the Home tab.
Dashboards created within an application only display information from that application.
Dashboards are built from reports, so decide in advance which reports you want to add. You can add both the reports you created and the reports that others shared with you.
Create a Dashboard
To create a new dashboard, follow these steps:
- Sign in to TD Work Management.
- On the Home tab, in the upper-right corner, click +New Dashboard.
Ensure your new dashboard name includes your department or group name, or its initials (for example, SOM-xxxx, FOIT-xxxxTier2) as a prefix.
- Watch the Creating and Editing Dashboards video (~4 minutes) to complete the remaining steps, such as selecting layout, adding reports, and configuring your dashboard.
Share Dashboards
You can share a dashboard with a Responsible group to give all members of that group view access to the dashboard.
A dashboard only needs to be shared once with a group. It will automatically be shared with any new members added to the group in the future.
Ensure the reports used in the dashboard are shared with the groups you want to share the dashboard with.
Share a Dashboard
To share a dashboard, follow these steps:
- Submit a support ticket for the ITS-TeamDynamix Admin team and include the following information:
- Name of the dashboard you want to share.
- Names of the Responsible groups you want to share the dashboard with.
- Specify if you want to set this dashboard as the default for the team members.
Result: The dashboard will be available to all existing members of the specified Responsible groups. New members added to the group will gain view access automatically after the daily sync at 8:00 AM.
If a shared dashboard does not display any report content for your group members, verify that the report’s visibility settings are correctly configured for the group.
Unshare Dashboards
The owner of a shared dashboard or a Responsible group manager can request to revoke its access for their group.
Unshare a Dashboard
To unshare a dashboard, follow these steps:
- Submit a support ticket for the ITS-TeamDynamix Admin team and include the following information:
- Name of the dashboard you want to unshare.
- Name of the Responsible groups you want it unshared from.
Result: The dashboard will be unshared from the specified Responsible groups.
After the
TDX Admin team processes the request, group members can follow the steps in
Delete Dashboards to remove it from their available dashboards list.
Delete Dashboards
You can delete dashboards you own or use personally. Shared dashboards can only be removed from your list after they have first been unshared by the TDX Admin team.
Delete a Dashboard
If you are removing a shared dashboard, it must be unshared first (see
Unshare Dashboards).
To delete or remove a dashboard from your available list:
- Sign in to TD Work Management.
- On the Home tab, in the upper-right corner, click Manage Dashboards.
- The Manage Dashboards popup appears, listing all available dashboards.
- In the popup, click Delete in the Delete column for the dashboard you want to remove.
- Close the Manage Dashboards popup.
Result: The selected dashboard is removed from your available list.
