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.

You can also use the "Question and response" filter to further narrow down your data.

Limitations

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.

If an inspection includes a repeat section and multiple response, the chart shows the total number of responses for the selected question.

For example, if a section is repeated 3 times within a single inspection, the chart will show 3 total responses for the question. For multiple-selection questions, each response selected is counted toward the total count.

Changes to response sets only apply to inspections conducted after the changes are saved. Previously completed inspections will still reflect the original responses.

However, edited or deleted responses will appear as placeholders in Analytics. This may also lead to inaccurate counts when filtering data by questions and responses.
