Overview
The Power BI Dashboard is an interactive report built into the Celiveo 365 Web Admin in Cloud Print and Enterprise Editions. It turns the print, copy and scan tracking data that Celiveo 365 records into totals and charts. You see how printing is used across your organization on one page, without exporting any data.
Use it to:
- follow print, copy and scan volumes over time;
- see what printing costs, and what deleted (unreleased) jobs saved;
- estimate the CO₂ impact of printing;
- find the users, printers and departments that print the most;
- compare sites, buildings or other groups, using your own tags.
Who it is for: administrators and report administrators who monitor printer usage, control print costs or report on environmental impact.

Job types
The job type decides which cards count a job.

|---|---|---|---|
| Cloud Pull Print | Yes | No | Pull Print |
| Pull Print | Yes | No | Pull Print |
| No | No | Pull Print | |
| Print Direct | Yes | No | Print Direct |
| My Celiveo | Yes | No | My Celiveo |
| Copy | Yes | No | Copy |
| Scan | No | Yes | Scan |
| No | Yes | ||
| MailBox | No | No | |
| report | No | No | Scan |

Deleted jobs:
- are not counted in print, copy or scan cards;
- are counted in Savings and Saved CO2;
- still appear in the Cost card and in the pie.
How calculation works
- Pages card and pie total differ. The pie counts all job types, including scans.
- Dates use the print date. A job sent on 31 March and printed on 1 April counts in April.
- Cost shows $ for every currency. Different currencies are added together.
- CO₂ is a paper-based estimate. Consumed and Saved CO2 count about 18.6 g per sheet, for all job types, including scans. They do not use the CO₂ values configured per printer in Configuring the page cost and CO² impact.
- % Duplex counts jobs, not pages. Example: one 100-page duplex job + one 1-page simplex job = 50%.
- Top lists show 10 entries. Use the detail table to see all printers or tag values.
