As your project progresses, you'll begin to collect a huge amount of incredibly valuable data from the field, but how do you make sense of all that data?

In this article, I'll give you an overview of the different ways you can drill into what's happening on your project to understand the status of your QA, answering questions like "Which company has the most outstanding inspections?" or "Which inspections have been open for more than 60 days"

Within a location page, you'll see a range of tools to help you understand your data, these include filters, an overall progress bar and views.

There are many ways you can distill the data in your location pages including:

You can apply multiple filters at once to find exactly what you're looking for, for example here I'm filtering to Visis Open & In progress, an Inspection Visi type and also assigned to Visibuild. These filters you apply will stay the same as you dive through your location tree.

As you filter your data you'll notice the status bar will update to provide a reflection of the total close % of your Visi list.

The default view for your Visi list is to display data with no grouping however if you wish to see Visis rolled up and grouped their category or assigned location you can do by using the Group By tabs.

Grouping your data is powerful as it allows you to quickly compare which company or location has the most outstanding Visis at a glance without having to filter individually.

Select one of these tabs to Group the data into what you want to see.

Select your grouping option and the results will automatically update. You can also filter grouped results for extra granularity.

By default, your location pages won't display child Visis that are inside other inspections. This is to keep your data clean and make it easy for you to find the parent inspection.

However there are times when you may wish to view all data if you're trying to find something specific eg. all the tasks that contain concrete test results.

This is where the All toggle comes in handy. Simply toggle to All Visis and your list will display everything allowing you to find what you're looking for.

Using a combination of the All toggle and the search I was able to surface all Concrete Test results across the project.
