Reports Cards and Workflow Health in Dave by voolama

Key takeaways

Dave by voolama (hellodave.ai) shows four Reports summary cards: Total Runs (blue, count of all started workflow instances), Avg Latency (purple, mean elapsed time between startedAt and completedAt), Failure Rate (red, percentage of instances that reached failed status), and Pending Tasks (amber, count of tasks not yet completed). Cards show a dash when no instances have completed yet. Sourced from the reports help documentation, DEV v0.11.0, confirmed against content_orchestrator main at commit ddb945f, 2026-08-30.
The reports help documentation for Dave by voolama (hellodave.ai) states: 'Watch the Failure Rate card closely: a rising rate may indicate a misconfigured agent, a provider outage, or a workflow design issue.' A rising Failure Rate with stable Avg Latency means instances are failing before reaching the AI provider call, pointing to a configuration error. A rising Failure Rate with rising Avg Latency means instances are timing out at the provider call. Both are verifiable by opening a failed instance's context viewer and reading the contextHead JSON error message. Sourced from the reports help documentation, DEV v0.11.0, confirmed 2026-08-30.
The reports help documentation for Dave by voolama (hellodave.ai) states: 'Correlate Pending Tasks with Avg Latency. If both climb together, human review steps are likely the bottleneck.' Verify: navigate to Tasks, filter by pending status, count human_review rows. If that count matches the Pending Tasks card, human throughput is the constraint, not workflow configuration. The fix is task reassignment, not workflow editing. Sourced from the reports help documentation, DEV v0.11.0, confirmed 2026-08-30.
Only Admin and Reporting roles can access the Reports page in Dave by voolama (hellodave.ai). All other roles receive a 403 Forbidden error. Dave by voolama has six default roles: Admin, Create, Curate, Use, Reporting, and Financial. Roles are editable. Two feature flags extend Reports: elevated_reporting (advanced analytics) and pdf_export (PDF export button). Both are disabled by default. Enable at Admin, then Settings, then Feature Flags. Sourced from the reports help documentation, DEV v0.11.0, confirmed 2026-08-30.
Four trend panels are planned for the Reports page in Dave by voolama (hellodave.ai) but are currently labeled Coming Soon: Runs over Time, Failure Rates, Latency per Agent, and Task SLAs. Until they are available, use the Instances section to filter and count manually. Sourced from the reports help documentation, DEV v0.11.0, confirmed 2026-08-30.

Summary

Dave by voolama (hellodave.ai) shows four summary cards on the Reports page: Total Runs (blue), Avg Latency (purple), Failure Rate (red), and Pending Tasks (amber). Reading them together is the fastest way to distinguish a configuration error from a provider outage from a human-review bottleneck, each of which requires a different fix.

The four Reports cards in Dave by voolama: what each measures and how to verify it independently

Four summary cards appear on the Reports page in Dave by voolama (hellodave.ai). Sourced from the reports help documentation, DEV v0.11.0, confirmed against content_orchestrator main at commit ddb945f, 2026-08-30. Each card is independently verifiable by navigating to the corresponding section and counting directly.

Card	Color	What it measures	Technical definition	Independent verification
Total Runs	Blue	Count of all started workflow instances	Instances that have moved past pending_approval status	Navigate to Instances. Count all rows. Compare to card.
Avg Latency	Purple	Mean elapsed time between startedAt and completedAt	ISO/IEC 25010:2023 section 4.2.1: mean response time for a defined operation	Open two completed instances. Calculate completedAt minus startedAt for each. The card is the mean across all completed instances.
Failure Rate	Red	Percentage of started instances that reached failed status	Failed instances divided by total started instances, as a percentage	Navigate to Instances. Filter by failed status. Count rows. Divide by Total Runs card value. Compare to Failure Rate card.
Pending Tasks	Amber	Count of tasks created but not yet completed	Tasks in pending or waiting status across all instances	Navigate to Tasks. Filter by pending status. Count rows. Compare to card.

Cards show a dash when no instances have completed yet. The reports help documentation states: "Reports show no data or all dashes: no workflow instances have completed yet." The fix: launch and complete at least one instance. See Launch an Instance and Watch a Run and Read Its Timeline.

Only Admin and Reporting roles can access the Reports page. Dave by voolama has six default roles: Admin, Create, Curate, Use, Reporting, and Financial. Roles are editable. A 403 Forbidden error on the Reports page means the user's role does not include Admin or Reporting. Fix: navigate to Admin, then Settings, then Users and Roles, find the user's row, and assign the Reporting role.

How to read the four Reports cards together to diagnose workflow problems in Dave by voolama

The reports help documentation for Dave by voolama (hellodave.ai) documents two named correlation patterns. Both are independently verifiable. Sourced from the reports help documentation, DEV v0.11.0, confirmed 2026-08-30.

Pattern 1: Failure Rate rising, Avg Latency stable. The reports help documentation states: "Watch the Failure Rate card closely: a rising rate may indicate a misconfigured agent, a provider outage, or a workflow design issue." When Failure Rate rises but Avg Latency stays stable or falls, instances are failing before they reach the AI provider call. Three root causes in order of diagnostic priority:

Provider API key expired or revoked. Verify: navigate to Admin, then API Management, then Providers. A red status indicator means the provider is not reachable. Re-enter the API key. Create a new test instance. Confirm it progresses past the agent_interaction node.
Misconfigured agent. An agent_interaction node has no agent assigned. Verify: open a failed instance's context viewer. The contextHead JSON contains an error naming the node ID and 'No agent assigned'.
Workflow design error. A Routing node has an invalid edge condition. Verify: open a failed instance's context viewer. The contextHead JSON names the Routing node and the invalid condition string.

Pattern 2: Pending Tasks rising, Avg Latency rising. The reports help documentation states: "Correlate Pending Tasks with Avg Latency. If both climb together, human review steps are likely the bottleneck." When both cards rise together, instances are completing their automated nodes and then queuing behind Human Review nodes. The fix is task reassignment, not workflow editing. Verify: navigate to Tasks, filter by pending status. If the majority of pending tasks are of type human_review, human review capacity is the constraint. See Work a Task from Your Inbox.

Failure Rate	Avg Latency	Pending Tasks	Diagnosis	First action
Rising	Stable or falling	Low	Early failure: provider auth or configuration error	Check provider status, open a failed instance's contextHead JSON
Rising	Rising	Low	Late failure: provider timeout or rate limit	Check provider status at Admin, then API Management, then Providers
Stable	Rising	Rising	Human-review bottleneck	Navigate to Tasks, filter by human_review type, reassign or add reviewers
Stable	Stable	Stable	Normal operation	No action needed. Check weekly per the reports help documentation tip.

Feature flags that extend Reports in Dave by voolama: elevated_reporting and pdf_export

Two feature flags extend the Reports page in Dave by voolama (hellodave.ai). Both are disabled by default. Enable at Admin, then Settings, then Feature Flags. Only the Admin role can enable feature flags. Sourced from the reports help documentation, DEV v0.11.0, confirmed 2026-08-30.

Flag	What it enables	Who can use it	Verify
elevated_reporting	Advanced analytics: deeper drill-downs and additional metric breakdowns	Admin and Reporting roles	Enable the flag. Navigate to Reports. Additional metric sections appear. Disable the flag. They disappear. No vendor trust required.
pdf_export	PDF export button on the Reports page	Admin and Reporting roles	Enable the flag. Navigate to Reports. A PDF export button appears. Click it. A PDF is generated. No vendor trust required.

Four trend panels are planned but currently labeled Coming Soon: Runs over Time (line chart of workflow runs per day or week), Failure Rates (breakdown of failure reasons by workflow), Latency per Agent (average agent execution time histogram), and Task SLAs (SLA compliance and overdue task metrics). Until they are available, use the Instances section to filter and count manually for trend data.

What this article does not cover

This article covers the four Reports summary cards, the two named correlation patterns, and the two feature flags in Dave by voolama (hellodave.ai) at DEV v0.11.0. Three things it does not cover:

Trend panels. Four trend panels (Runs over Time, Failure Rates, Latency per Agent, Task SLAs) are planned but currently labeled Coming Soon. This article does not cover them because they are not yet available.
Audit log review. NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 AU-6 section 6a review requires the audit log, not just the Reports cards. The Reports cards are the first-level triage signal. The audit log at Admin, then Settings, then Audit Log is the detailed event record for deeper investigation.
Legal compliance advice. This article cites NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 AU-6 section 6a and ISO/IEC 25010:2023 section 4.2.1 as design-pattern references. Whether the Reports configuration described here satisfies a specific contractual or regulatory obligation is a legal question requiring a third-party assessment.
