# Monitoring operations in real time

Proactively monitor critical field service trends and track cost allocations with dashboards.

You can:

-   Track how proactively issues were identified and reported
-   Monitor how well field service resources were used
-   Analyze the estimate time compared to the actual time that it takes to complete tasks
-   Allocate, track, and report on expenses for all operations

-   **[Use the Field Service Management dashboard](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/field-service-management/t_UseTheFieldServiceOverviewModule.md)**  
The Field Service Management overview module provides a dispatch map that displays tasks and links to the related task records.
