Analytics Features

​
Client Demographics

The dashboard displays client distribution by gender:
  • Female clients count
  • Male clients count
This helps you understand your client base composition and track diversity metrics. Chart.js powered visualizations show:
  • Expedientes created by month - Track conciliation case volume throughout the year
  • Legal cases (Casos) created by month - Monitor litigation activity trends
These charts display data for the current year, grouped by month, allowing you to:
  • Identify busy periods
  • Plan resource allocation
  • Track business growth
  • Compare case volumes across months
Monthly trend data helps law firm managers make informed decisions about staffing needs and capacity planning.

​
Integrated Calendar View

The dashboard includes an embedded calendar powered by FullCalendar.js that displays:
  • General activities (Actividad)
  • Case activities (ActividadCaso) - with case number
  • Expediente activities (ActividadConciliacion) - with expediente number
Each activity shows:
  • Title - The activity name
  • Date and time - When the activity is scheduled
  • Associated record - Case or expediente number (where applicable)
The calendar provides a unified view of all scheduled activities across your entire practice, helping you stay organized and never miss important deadlines.

Expedientes::select(DB::raw("COUNT(*) as count"), DB::raw("MONTHNAME(created_at) as month_name"))
    ->whereYear('created_at', date('Y'))
    ->groupBy(DB::raw("month_name"))
    ->orderBy('id','ASC')
    ->pluck('count', 'month_name');

​
Cases by Month

Shows the count of legal cases created each month in the current year: 
Casos::select(DB::raw("COUNT(*) as count"), DB::raw("MONTHNAME(created_at) as month_name"))
    ->whereYear('created_at', date('Y'))
    ->groupBy(DB::raw("month_name"))
    ->orderBy('id','ASC')
    ->pluck('count', 'month_name');

​
Calendar Events Integration

The dashboard calendar aggregates events from three sources:
  1. General Activities - From Actividad model
  2. Case Activities - From ActividadCaso model (includes case number)
  3. Expediente Activities - From ActividadConciliacion model (includes expediente number)
Each event includes:
  • Title
  • Start date/time
  • End date/time
  • Associated record identifier

​

Route::middleware(['auth', 'verified'])->name('dashboard')->prefix('dashboard')->group(function() {
    Route::get('/', [IndexController::class, 'dashboard']);
    Route::get('/', [IndexController::class, 'dashCalendar']);
});
All authenticated users can access the dashboard regardless of role.

  • Schedule staff time off during slower periods

  • Click on events to view details

  • Color-code activities by type for quick visual reference
Use demographic data to:
  • Ensure balanced representation
  • Tailor communication strategies
