What is Analytics?
The Analytics feature allows you to view and analyze the data your team captures in SafetyCulture. You can create customizable dashboards, enabling you to make sense of your data to identify improvement opportunities and isolate trends.
With Analytics, you can create customized dashboards to effectively share relevant data across your organization. Within each dashboard, you can tailor the charts shown to help your team cut through the noise and quickly gain an understanding of key data sets.
Visualize your data
Focus on what's important by creating dashboards and charts that you can tailor depending on the data sets you want to analyze.
Dashboards
Once a dashboard is created and shared, it becomes available on the Analytics page. Each dashboard can contain multiple charts, which can be used to focus on a particular area of interest.
Charts
Analytics charts can be configured to ensure only relevant data is shared with your audience. There are multiple data visualization options available to allow you to convey your organization's data in the most suitable way.
Measure your data
Refine your charts using metrics and attributes so you can easily identify and prioritize data sets for analysis depending on your needs.
Metrics
A metric is the measurement or calculation of data that's selected for a chart, such as inspection durations or the number of actions.
Metric | Description |
|---|---|
Actions | The number of actions created in the chosen period. |
Action completion rate | The percentage of actions completed or moved to a closed status in the chosen period. For an accurate reflection of the completion rate, we recommend that you filter the chart by all your action statuses. |
Inspections | The number of inspections created in the chosen period. |
Average duration | The average (arithmetic mean) duration of inspections conducted in the chosen period, denoted in hours and minutes. Inspections without a recorded duration are excluded. |
Average score | The average (arithmetic mean) score of inspections conducted in the chosen period, as a percentage. Inspections without a recorded score are excluded. |
Flagged responses | The number of flagged responses from inspections conducted in the chosen period. |
Flagged rate | The number of inspections with flagged responses as a percentage of the total inspections conducted in the chosen period. |
Inspection completion rate | The percentage of inspections, including any archived inspections, completed in the chosen period. For an accurate reflection of the completion rate, we recommend that you filter charts by the "Completed" and "Incomplete" statuses. |
Issues (Count) | The number of issues created in the chosen period. |
Scheduled inspections (Count) | A list of scheduled inspections in the chosen period. Kindly note that you need the "Schedules: Manage" permission if you'd like to view schedules created by other users in your organization. |
Responses (Count) | The number of times a response was selected in inspections in the chosen period. |
Attributes
An attribute is an element by which you can breakdown your metric to gain more insights. Attributes, such as inspection date, can be selected to group metrics in different ways.

Area | The area of an inspection, action, or issue. |

Response set values | The responses in a multiple choice response set. This attribute is only available to use with the Responses metric. |
Filter your data
A filter allows you to dive deeper into specific topics by limiting which data sets are shown. For example, the date filter can be used to focus on data from a specific date range.
Dashboard filters
Filter | Description |
|---|---|
Date filter | The date range to filter data by. Today: Filters data created on the current day. Yesterday: Filters data created from the previous day. Last 7, 30, and 90 days: Filters data from the selected time period to the current day. This month: Filters data created in the current month. Last month: Filters data created from the previous month. Year to date: Filters data from the first day of the year to the current day. Custom range: Filters data based on the selected time period. Please note that you can only filter data for a maximum of 1 year at a time. |
Priority | The priority of the action or issue. |
Site | The site or level to filter data by. |
Group | The group to filter data by. Depending on the metric that you've selected for a chart, the filter may work differently: Inspections: Filters based on the author. If multiple users have edited an inspection, the inspections are shown based on the last person who edited it if they’re in the group you’re filtering by. Actions and Schedules: Filters based on assignees. This works for both assigned to groups and individual users, where users in the group you’re filtering by will also be displayed. Issues: Filters based on issue assignees, where issues assigned to users in the group you're filtering by will be displayed. |
Chart filters
Filter | Description |
|---|---|
Category | The category of the issue. |
Priority | The priority of the action or issue. |
Status | The completion status of the inspection, action, or issue. Filtering inspections by the "Archived" status will show inspections regardless of whether they’re complete or incomplete. |
Template | The template used to conduct the inspections. |
Asset | The asset of an inspection or action. |
Dashboard sharing
Once you've configured your analytics dashboard to suit your use case, you can selectively share it with groups or give everyone in your organization visibility. Simply click Share while viewing your dashboard and selecting the relevant groups.
