Overview

The Answer Distribution widget visualizes the distribution of responses for a specific question on a checklist. It uses a clear and intuitive pie chart to represent answer categories (e.g., "OK" vs. "NOT OK"), enabling users to quickly assess performance or compliance levels.


Features and Conditional Formatting

  • Answer Categories: Each response category (e.g., "OK" and "NOT OK") is displayed as a proportional segment of the chart.

  • Conditional Formatting: The widget allows filtering based on specific conditions, such as only showing results where related questions have particular answers.

  • Dynamic Updates: Filters and conditions dynamically adjust the displayed data to focus on relevant insights.


Setup and Configuration

  1. Add the Widget:

    • Navigate to your Dashboard.

    • Select the Answer Distribution widget and add it to your preferred location.

  2. Set Filters:

    • Click the filter icon to select a checklist and a specific question.

    • Use the "Conditions" section to define additional criteria. For example:

      • Filter by a related question (e.g., "Inspect each seat unit") and set a condition (e.g., "OK").

    • Apply the filter to refine the data visualization.

  3. Customize Display:

    • Toggle between different time periods using the timeframe selector.

    • Adjust location-based filters for targeted analysis.


Tips for Effective Use

  • Use the widget during operational reviews to highlight key trends in compliance or performance.

  • Combine with conditional filters to isolate problem areas, such as high percentages of "NOT OK" responses.

  • Share filtered views with maintenance or operations teams to address specific issues.

Example Use Case: A safety manager reviews the distribution of responses for the question, "Check seat unit restraints for overall condition." By applying a filter to focus on results where another checklist question specifies "Inspect each seat unit," the manager identifies a higher-than-expected percentage of "NOT OK" responses. This insight prompts immediate action to inspect and resolve issues in specific areas.

This setup ensures data-driven decision-making for operational and safety improvements.
