How to View Manpower Data in Insights
Log into the Raken web app.
Click Dashboard in the left side navigation.
Click Insights, then click Daily logs.
Review the All Time Stats bar at the top — it shows total Man Days and Hours worked for the selected period.
Scroll down to the Workers by Project chart — this plots manpower trends over time for your most active projects, with an average line for quick comparison.
Use the time range dropdown in the top right to adjust the period.
Click the Recent Projects dropdown on the chart to toggle between your most recently active projects or a custom selection of up to 5 projects.
Click the download icon on the chart to export the manpower data as a CSV.
How to Export Manpower Data
Two export options are available:
From Insights — click the download icon on the Workers by Project chart to export that chart's data as CSV.
From the Reports menu — for a detailed manpower export organized by project and date, use Projects > Reports > Manpower and send it to your email as a CSV.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Do Time Cards count toward Man Days and the Manpower Report?
Yes. Time Cards roll up into both the Work Logs section of Daily Reports and the Man Days count in the Manpower Report. This is expected behavior — both Work Logs and Time Cards contribute to manpower totals. If no Work Logs exist on a project but Time Cards have been submitted, Man Days will still reflect activity. The historical confusion around this stemmed from Work Logs previously including time card data before they were separated into two distinct features in the UTC release.
Why is my manpower chart showing no data?
The Workers by Project chart pulls data from both Work logs and Time Cards entered in your daily reports. If your team hasn't been logging either for the selected period and projects, the chart will be empty. Confirm that field entries are being submitted and adjust the time range.
What's the difference between Man Days and Hours in All Time Stats?
Man Days counts the total number of individual worker-day entries (one entry per person per day). Hours shows the total labor hours logged across all Work logs and Time Cards for the selected period.
What is the difference between the Manpower Insights chart and the Manpower Report?
Both pull from the same data sources — Work Logs and Time Cards. The Workers by Project chart in Insights is a visual trend view showing manpower over time across multiple projects. The Manpower Report (Projects > Reports > Manpower) is a detailed exportable CSV organized by project and date, suitable for payroll review or client reporting.

Considerations
Time Cards and Work Logs both roll up into Man Days and manpower totals — using either method will count toward Insights and Manpower Report data.
Manpower data in Insights comes from both Work logs and Time Cards — encourage your field team to log consistently using either method for accurate data.
For a detailed, exportable manpower report by project and date, use the Manpower report from Projects > Reports.
