Every report you need — configured your way, always up to date.
Tracked hours flow straight into a polished invoice — no copy-paste, no manual math.
Use this page to plan a dashboard that shows the hours and costs behind Basecamp work. The practical output is a reporting view that explains which project took time, which to-do carried the work, who did it, and which date range the reviewer is looking at. That view should support a weekly internal check and a cleaner monthly billing or cost review.
Basecamp keeps the project structure, including projects, to-do lists, to-dos, assignees, and due dates. Everhour connects that structure to tracked time, billable status, rates, budgets, and reports. A dashboard works when the same Basecamp to-do names and list context appear beside hours, costs, and billable amounts, so the reviewer does not rebuild the story from scattered notes.
Start with the question the dashboard needs to answer. Project and client breakdowns show account-level spend. Member breakdowns show workload and labor contribution. To-do and list breakdowns show where the work actually accumulated. Date ranges separate this week's delivery review from a month-end invoice review or a quarterly cost check.
A strong dashboard keeps billable and non-billable time visible in the same reporting view, while separating the totals. Billable hours explain client charges. Non-billable hours explain meetings, internal cleanup, revisions, and support work that still affects margin and capacity. Hiding non-billable time makes the report look cleaner, but it weakens cost review.
Everhour's Basecamp report fields center on project, to-do, list, task ID, and task status. Those fields give the dashboard a stable structure because time attaches to Basecamp to-dos rather than unrelated notes. The clearest reports use consistent to-do names, specific list names, and a date range that matches the review period.
Common mistakes come from mixing reporting levels. A weekly delivery review should not start with every comment and time note. A client status view should not bury totals inside person-by-person detail. Use the top view to answer the main question, then drill into to-dos when a number needs backup, correction, or billing context.
A one-off spreadsheet works when one person needs a quick summary for a small Basecamp project. Manual reporting becomes fragile once several people track time, rates differ by person or project, or reviewers need the same dashboard every week. Rebuilt exports also invite version drift when someone edits the source after the spreadsheet was copied.
Everhour turns approved time into standing reports, with exports available for reviewers who do not work inside the system. Cost and billable rates can use per-person defaults, per-project overrides, dated rate history, and project, member, or custom task pricing, so the dashboard keeps hours and money tied to the right Basecamp work.

Start with project, client, date range, total time, billable time, non-billable time, cost, and billable amount. Add member, to-do, list, task ID, and task status as drill-down fields. The first screen should answer the review question before it shows line-level detail.
Use different saved views for different decisions. A delivery review needs project, to-do, member, task status, and date range. A billing review needs billable status, rates, billable amount, cost, and invoice-related context. Combining every column into one default view makes both reviews slower.
Use a weekly range for team follow-up and a monthly range for billing or cost review. Weekly views catch missing entries while people remember the work. Monthly views match client reporting, budget review, and accounting handoffs better than a rolling list of all tracked time.
Non-billable time explains cost, capacity, and project margin. A dashboard that removes it can still produce an invoice total, but it cannot explain why the project consumed more labor than expected. Keep non-billable work visible in a separate column or filtered view.
Exports work for clients, accountants, owners, or stakeholders who need a copy outside the reporting tool. Use CSV or Excel/XLSX when the recipient needs spreadsheet analysis. Use PDF when the report should be read as a fixed summary for review or archive.
Everhour separates internal cost rates from client-facing billable rates. Teams can set default rates by person, override rates for a specific project, preserve dated rate changes, and price billable Basecamp work by project, member, or custom task rate.
Everhour reports can be exported in CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF format. That gives managers a structured handoff for spreadsheet review, client sharing, or records without asking every reviewer to work from the same live report.
Track approved Basecamp time with rates, costs, and exports in Everhour, so recurring dashboards show the right hours and money without rebuilding reports by hand.
