What’s Inside the Municipal Services Dashboard in Google Sheets
Overview Page
The Overview page shows the four headline cards: Total Tickets, Completion Rate, Avg Resolution, and Citizen Rating. It also includes charts for Tickets by Month, Tickets by Status, Tickets by Ward, Tickets by Department, Open Tickets by Department, and Completion Rate by Department.
Departments
The Departments tab compares Service Cost by Department, Avg Rating by Department, Avg Resolution by Department, Monthly Tickets by Ward, Open Tickets by Department, and Completion Rate by Department.
Services
The Services tab breaks down Tickets by Service Type, Cost Share by Service, Tickets by Channel, Monthly Tickets by Priority, Open Tickets by Department, and Completion Rate by Department.
Costs
The Costs tab reviews Service Cost by Month, Cost by Ward, Cost by Channel, Staff Deployed by Month, Open Tickets by Department, and Completion Rate by Department.
Satisfaction
The Satisfaction tab focuses on Citizen Rating by Month, Tickets by Supervisor, Avg Rating by Priority, Avg Resolution by Month, Open Tickets by Department, and Completion Rate by Department.
Search Sheet Tab
The Search Sheet lets users select a Ticket ID and view the matching date, service type, department, ward, status, priority, supervisor, service cost, resolution hours, staff assigned, and citizen rating.
Data Sheet Tab
The Data Sheet is where users add municipal service records in the same format as the sample data. Keeping the Ticket ID, date, service type, department, ward, status, priority, supervisor, cost, resolution, staff, and rating fields consistent keeps the dashboard connected.

Who This Template Is For – and Who It’s Not For
This template is for municipal managers, city service desks, public works teams, ward supervisors, citizen-service analysts, local-government administrators, and consultants who already track service tickets and want faster reporting in Google Sheets.
It is not a full 311 platform, citizen portal, work-order dispatch system, payment system, GIS map, legal records archive, or regulated case-management application. If you need automated ticket routing, public submission forms, field-worker mobile workflows, or strict audit controls, use dedicated civic-service software and treat this dashboard as a reporting layer.
How to Use the Municipal Services Dashboard in Google Sheets
- Open the PDF guide from your purchase and copy the Google Sheets template to your Drive.

- Keep the same column format so cards, charts, slicers, and lookup formulas work correctly.
- Use slicers on the dashboard pages to filter by department, ward, status, priority, channel, supervisor, or month.
- Use the Search Sheet to select one Ticket ID and inspect the full service record quickly.
