Current Pages and Graphs:


Events by Custom Field

Number of Events by [Custom Value]

View the total number of events associated with each of your custom form fields. Use the filters to narrow your results by event type and date range.

What You Can Do:

  • Search and select from all your custom fields (single-line text, dropdown, checkboxes, and radio buttons).

  • See the total number of events associated with each answer option (e.g., how many events have "Design" as the "Failure Mode").

  • Change the date range for analysis (defaults to the last 6 months).

  • Filter the results to only display totals for specific event types.

Important Notes:

  • Field names appear only once in reports, even if used on multiple forms. Be consistent - even different punctuation could result in different options to select!

  • Only one field’s data can be displayed at a time.

  • Dates are based on the event creation date.

Analysis Tips:

  • Which custom field values have the highest number of associated events?

  • Are there unexpected patterns in the distribution of events across custom field values?

  • How does the distribution change when filtering by specific event types or time periods?


Trends Sheet

Trends of Events by [Custom Value]

Identify trends in your custom form fields based on event creation dates and totals over time.

What You Can Do:

  • Search and select your desired custom field.

  • See how the totals for each answer option change by month, displayed as separate trend lines.

  • Change the date range (defaults to the last 6 months).

  • Filter by event type to isolate trends further.

Important Notes:

Data points can overlap. Hover over the dots to view a breakdown or use the 3-dot menu (⋮) to View Summary Data.

Analysis Tips:

  • Are there trends in specific custom field values increasing or decreasing over time?

  • Do these trends correlate with changes in processes, products, or personnel?

  • Can you identify any seasonal or cyclical patterns in the data?


Field Totals Sheet

[Custom Field] Over Time

View totals or averages of your custom numeric form fields over time.

What You Can Do:

  • See the sum and average of that value across all events within your chosen date range.

  • Change the date range (defaults to the last 6 months).

  • Filter to specific event types.

Analysis Tips:

  • What is the total or average cost associated with quality-related issues over time?
