What is Analytics?

Analytics in SafetyCulture allows you to visualize and understand the data your team captures. It’s best used when you need clear visibility into KPIs, performance trends, or specific areas that need attention. Analytics works through customizable dashboards, where you can choose from different chart types, tailor how your data is displayed, and control access using dedicated permissions.

For example, you can track inspection scores across sites, monitor action completion rates, or review data created across a period of time. You can also share dashboards within your team or export data for reporting, helping teams surface insights, highlight improvement opportunities, and make data-driven decisions.

Analytics features a homepage where you can view all dashboards you have access to and create new dashboards based on your needs. This allows you set up different dashboard types without reconfiguring charts and filters each time you visit Analytics or want to interpret different data sets. You can also duplicate dashboards to share the same insights with different team members without rebuilding your setup.

To help you get started with your dashboard, you can choose from recommended templates with pre-selected data sets or start one from scratch.

Focus on the insights that matter most by using powerful dashboard and chart filters to refine your view. With dashboard filters, you can quickly streamline your entire page by criteria such as date range, frequency, site, or group, ensuring your data is always relevant to your reporting needs. For a more granular analysis, you can also apply chart filters to drill down into specific data points and fine-tune your selection with precision. By narrowing your focus at both the dashboard and chart levels, you can cut through the noise and surface the exact information you need to drive improvements across your organization.

Once you’ve configured your analytics dashboard to suit your specific use case, you can selectively share it with groups or your entire organization. Sharing your dashboards empowers your teams with the data they need to stay aligned and make informed decisions that drive safety and quality performance. Whether you’re providing a high-level overview for leadership or generating a shareable link for specific team members, managing access ensures that the right insights reach the right people at the right time.

You can export data from Analytics in a format that suits your needs. Download charts as images or CSV files for a quick overview, or export different data types such as inspections, actions, issues, and schedules in bulk for more detailed analysis. This is helpful for sharing insights, creating reports, or reviewing trends outside the platform.
