View inspections by questions and responses in Analytics

Learn how to view inspections by questions and responses in Analytics via the web app to quickly identify trends and surface actionable insights.

What does it mean to view inspections by questions and responses in Analytics?

Viewing your inspections by questions and responses allows you to understand how often each answer appears across inspections. This helps you quickly see patterns, identify recurring issues, and understand where improvements are needed most. Teams often use this to track common non-compliances, measure performance, or monitor progress over time. It fits into your broader reporting and improvement process by turning inspection data into clear insights that support smarter, faster decisions.

Frequently asked questions

"Question not found" means that the question has been deleted from the template. Please note that deleting a question from a template and then creating the same question afterward won't link it to the previous question in any way.

Number placeholders such as [1], [2], and so on means that the response has either been newly added, renamed, or deleted from the template.
