Studio Utilisation — Wide sidebar

by VizForge team · 5 Nov 2026

A small agency's Monday look at who is overbooked, which clients take the most time and whether the studio hits its utilisation target. Drawn with a wide left sidebar carrying the title, navigation and filters, in the Copper Industrial theme.

Studio Utilisation — Wide sidebar: Power BI report page design preview

Remix in the Design Studio →

Built in your browser. The PBIP carries sample data: the template’s own model when the design started from a template (visuals whose titles match the template’s are bound; the rest export empty, ready for your fields), otherwise the generic sales and operations model with every built-in visual bound by its kind and title. Downloads carry a small “Made with VizForge” mark.

Who the page is for

Lumen & Pike is a fictional company, so the figures in the preview are placeholders; the titles, layout and colours are what this design contributes.

The layout uses a wide left sidebar carrying the title, navigation and filters. The 4 KPI cards read Billable Hours, Utilisation %, Projects Active and Over Budget. Below them sit Hours by Person (column chart), Hours by Client (donut chart) and Utilisation vs Target (gauge). Filters: Team.

The same deterministic check the Design Studio runs. 85 or more, with every text box at WCAG AA contrast, passes the community quality gate.

Design Check results for Studio Utilisation — Wide sidebar
Check	Points	Result
Grid and alignment	20/20	Every visual slot and card panel is on the 8px grid, inside the page and clear of its neighbours.
Gutters	15/15	All 7 gutters between panels match (24px across, 24px down).
Text contrast	25/25	All 6 text boxes meet WCAG AA contrast against the background actually behind them.
Minimum text size	15/15	All text is at least 13.5px, legible when Power BI fits a 1920 × 1080 page to a laptop screen.
Colours vs theme	10/10	Every colour on the page comes from the theme or a tint of it.
Font families	5/5	2 font families (Bahnschrift, Segoe UI): a heading and a body face is plenty.
KPI density	10/10	4 KPI cards, each at least 168 × 84px: room for a value, a label and a comparison.
