Track Your Audit Failures and Issues
The Findings Dashboard helps you monitor and analyze audit failures, non-compliance issues, and areas that need attention across your organization. This dashboard is essential for identifying patterns and driving continuous improvement.
Total Failures Overview
At the top left of your dashboard, you'll see your Total Failures metric for the selected time period.
What this shows:
Total number of failed audit items or non-compliant findings
Percentage change compared to the previous period (like "+124.7% compared to last month")
A trend line showing whether failures are increasing or decreasing over time
How to interpret:
Increasing failures: May indicate declining performance, new compliance challenges, or more thorough auditing
Decreasing failures: Shows improvement in compliance and performance
Stable numbers: Consistent performance levels across time periods
Action items:
High failure rates: Investigate root causes and implement corrective actions
Sudden spikes: Check for new procedures, staff changes, or external factors
Positive trends: Recognize improvements and reinforce successful practices
Analyze Top Failures by Checklists
The "Top Failures by Checklists" chart shows which types of audits are generating the most failures, helping you prioritize improvement efforts.
How to read this chart:
Each bar represents a different checklist or audit type.
The height of the bar shows the total number of failures for that checklist.
Different colors within each bar represent individual audit questions that contributed to the failure count.
Checklists are usually ordered from highest to lowest failure count.
What this tells you:
Tallest bars: Audit areas with the most compliance issues
Consistent patterns: Audit types that regularly have problems
Color distribution: Different types of failures within each audit category
Action items:
Focus improvement efforts on high-failure audit types
Analyze successful checklists to replicate best practices
Consider if certain checklists need revision or additional training
Monitor Failures Trend Over Time
The "Failures Trend Over Time" chart displays how different types of failures change across weeks or months, helping you spot patterns and measure improvement efforts.
Chart elements:
X-axis: Time periods (days, weeks, or months)
Y-axis: Number of failures
Different colored dots/lines: Various failure types or categories
Multiple data points: Allow you to track trends for each failure type
What to look for:
Rising trends: Failure types that are becoming more common
Declining trends: Areas showing improvement over time
Seasonal patterns: Failures that spike at certain times
Sudden changes: Dramatic increases or decreases that need investigation
Key insights:
Consistent improvement: Fewer or lower-positioned dots over time indicate positive trends
Persistent problems: Repeated or rising dot clusters suggest unresolved issues
Correlation patterns: Multiple failure types changing together may indicate systemic issues
Detailed Failures Analysis
The "All Failures by Location and Checklist" table provides granular detail about where and what type of failures are occurring.
Table columns:
Location Name: Specific sites, stores, or facilities where failures occurred
Checklist Name: Type of audit or inspection that had failures
Question: Specific audit item or requirement that failed
Failures: Number of times this specific item failed
% of Total: What percentage this represents of all failures
How to use this data:
Identify problem locations: Sites with high failure counts across multiple areas
Spot recurring issues: Questions or requirements that fail repeatedly
Focus training efforts: Target specific procedures or locations with highest failure rates
Track improvement: Monitor whether specific issues decrease over time
