Overview
This article explains the widgets available in the Productivity category of the Business Insights module. These widgets give you insight into how different roles, aircraft, and student groups contribute to the overall training output – both in the air and on the ground.
They are useful for monitoring balance, spotting underutilization, and improving resource allocation.
