This guide will help you understand your Administrator permissions in ANVL Editor, focusing on managing workflow templates, tags, and Strength Score configurations across your organization.

Editor Admin Permissions Overview

As an Editor Administrator, you have special permissions that allow you to:

  • Manage workflow templates across your organization

  • Edit tags at both workflow and question levels

  • Set up reporting parameters through tag

  • Configure Strength Score formulas for workflow templates

! Remember: Your Admin permissions allow you to make organization-wide changes to tags and scoring. Always test changes on a small scale before applying broadly across your organization.

Workflow Template Tags

Workflow template tags are essential for organizing and reporting on your workflows across the organization. These tags help you group similar workflows together for better data analysis.

Important: It is recommended that all templates include a "reportName" tag for proper reporting functionality.

Setting Up Workflow Template Tags

  1. Login to ANVL Insights

  1. Navigate to Mobilize > Editor

  1. Open the workflow template to edit

  1. Review the value in the Tags field

  1. Edit the value as needed, using the following format: [{"key":"value"}]

Example workflow template tags:
[{"reportName":"Good Catch"},{"workflowType":"Safety Observation"},{"Language":"English (US)"},{"languageCode":"en-US"}]

Workflow Template Tag Keys:

  • ReportName

  • A short, descriptive name used in reports and analytics

  • Required to populate the Workflow Drilldown reports in ANVL Insights and PowerBI

  • Example: "Safety Inspection", "Equipment Check"

  • workflowType

  • Groups different workflows under a common category

  • Example: Both "In-Shop JSA" and "Field JSA" can have workflowType "JSA". This allows you to analyze all JSA data together regardless of specific workflow

  • Language and languageCode

  • Specify the language settings for the workflow

  • Useful for multi-language organizations

Question-Level Tags

Question-level tags are used in the Workflow Drilldown reports in ANVL Insights to analyze individual question responses. They're also essential for Power BI reports and can be accessed through ANVL REST APIs.

Important: It it recommended that all questions include a "reportName" tag for proper reporting functionality.

Setting Up Workflow Template Tags

  1. Login to ANVL Insights

  1. Navigate to Mobilize > Editor

  1. Open the workflow template to edit

  1. Select the question to edit

  1. Review the value in the Tags field

  1. Edit the value as needed, using the following format:
    [{"key":"value"}]

Example question-level tags:

Without Custom Scoring: [{"reportName":"Hazard Type"}]

With Custom Scoring:
[{"reportName":"Housekeeping"},{"minScore":"0"} ,{"maxScore":"10"}]

Working with Mobilize for Tag Management

When using Mobilize to create new workflow templates, you can instruct it to apply proper tagging automatically.

Standard Mobilize Prompt for General Templates:

"Please apply an intuitive reportName tag to all questions in this workflow for reporting purposes."

Example Mobilize Prompt for Scored Workflows:

"Create a workflow with custom scoring.

For questions that should be scored, use only Checklist Radio Question types with response options that fall within a 0-10 range (you can use any values like 0,5,10 or 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10).

Apply minScore and maxScore tags to these questions with minScore set to 0 and maxScore set to 10. Also apply intuitive reportName tags to all questions for reporting purposes."

Best Practices for Tag Management

Workflow Template Level:

  • Always include a clear, descriptive reportName

  • Use consistent workflowType values across similar workflows

  • Include language settings for multi-language environments

Question Level:

  • Apply reportName tags to ALL questions

  • Use consistent tag values across similar questions

  • For custom scoring, ensure only appropriate question types are used

  • Test your tagging strategy with sample reports before full deployment

Strength Score:

  • Start with standard parameters and adjust based on your organization's needs

  • Monitor completion rates and adjust thresholds if scores are too high/low

  • Use the ANVL-provided questionnaire for complex scoring requirements or guidance

Strength Score

Strength Score is a quality parameter that measures how thoroughly users complete workflows, helping prevent "pencil whipping" (rushing through without proper attention).

How Strength Score Works

Strength Score calculates a percentage based on configurable parameters for each workflow template. Each completed workflow receives a score based on how well it meets these quality criteria.

If you want to refine your Strength Score formulas, complete this questionnaire for personalized recommendations: ANVL Strength Score Setup Questionnaire

Label

Business Objective Definition

Example Value

Flags

Encourage users to raise flags on their workflows

1 if there were there any flags raised, otherwise 0

NA

0

Interventions

Encourage answering questions that lead to interventions and additional follow-up questions

1 if there was at least one intervention in the workflow, otherwise 0

NA

Stops

Encourage answering questions that lead to stops and additional follow-up questions after returning to the workflow

1 if there was at least one intervention in the workflow, otherwise 0

Photos

Encourage users to take photos on some or all of the questions. Could be used with a parameter 0 to score if at least one photo was attached to the workflow

1 if the count of total photos divided by the number of photo questions greater than <parameter>, otherwise 0

Responses

Some workflows have a minimum number of questions that can be viewed if pencil whipped - if the parameter threshold is set higher than that number, it encourages more than a minimum effort on the workflow

NA

0

% Non Blank Checklist Responses

Encourage users to select at least one response to checklist questions (even if there is a "None" option) so that they don't skip the question

Count of checklist questions that had a non-empty response (user selected at least one item) divided by the total count of checklist questions in the workflow

# Text Responses Completed

Encourage users to add text to a minimum number of open text questions

Custom Workflow Scoring

You can set up custom scoring for workflows when you need specific point values for questions.

Requirements for Custom Scoring

  • Questions must be tagged with both minScore and maxScore

  • Only Checklist Radio Questions can be used for scored questions

  • Response options must fall within the min-max range Custom Scoring Setup

Example

Question Tags: [{"reportName":"Housekeeping"},{"minScore":"0"} ,{"maxScore":"10"}]

Response Options Examples:

  • Simple: 0, 10

  • Moderate: 0, 5, 10

  • Scale: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Viewing Custom Scores

To see custom workflow scores:

  1. Navigate to ANVL Insights > Live Feed

  1. Use filters to find the specific workflow

  1. Click the workflow link to open it

  1. View the score in the top header of the workflow.

Both the percentage score and the points earned out of total possible points are displayed.

The score is calculated only on scored questions: those with minScore and maxScore tags).

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Tags not appearing in reports: Verify all questions have reportName tags and check spelling/formatting

Custom scoring not working: Ensure you're using Checklist Radio Questions and only numeric response values. (e.g. 1, 2, 3, etc.) Ensure all questions to be scored have the correct minScore/maxScore tags.

Strength Score too high/low: Adjust parameter thresholds or weights based on actual workflow completion patterns

Inconsistent reporting data: Review tag consistency across similar questions and workflows

! Remember: Your Administrator permissions allow you to make organization-wide changes to tags and scoring. Always test changes on a small scale before applying broadly across your organization.
