Before You Start (Important)

Power BI reporting is permission-based. To access ANVL Power BI reports, you need:

  • A Power BI Pro license

  • Access enabled by your organization

  • A link to your ANVL Power BI workspace

    (often available from the ANVL Analytics menu at insights.anvl.com)

If you don’t see the reports, contact your administrator.

What’s Included in ANVL Power BI

Every ANVL subscription includes 7 standard Power BI report pages.

These reports cover 80%+ of common executive and leadership questions without custom development.

Each page answers a different type of question.

1. Trending Metrics - “How are we doing over time?”

Use this page to:

  • Track weekly and monthly trends

  • Monitor completion, quality, and activity metrics

  • Compare performance across sites or supervisors

Best for:

  • Monthly and quarterly reporting

  • Leadership updates

  • Long-term trend analysis

2. Weekly Summary - “What happened this week?”

Use this page to:

  • See how many workflows were completed

  • Identify top-performing sites and users

Compare week-over-week changes

Includes:

  • Completion counts

  • % change from previous week

  • Breakdown by site, role, and user

Best for:

  • Weekly check-ins

  • Operational reviews

  • Supervisor accountability

3. Escalations & Actions - “Where are our biggest challenges?”

This is one of the most powerful reports.

Use it to:

  • Analyze stops, flags, concerns, and interventions

  • Identify recurring problem areas

  • See which topics trigger the most escalations

    • Powered by question tags!

You can:

  • Drill into specific questions

  • See affected users and sites

  • Track trends up or down over time

Best for:

  • Leading indicator analysis

  • Corporate EHS or Operational oversight

  • Prioritizing corrective actions

4. Open Text Analysis - “What are people actually saying?”

This report analyzes free-text responses.

Use it to:

  • Search for specific words or phrases (e.g., “traffic”, “fire”)

  • Identify common themes across workflows

  • Filter by site, supervisor, or role

Tip:

  • Searching for punctuation (like !) can surface urgency or frustration

Best for:

  • Data mining

  • Identifying emerging risks

  • Finding issues not captured by checkboxes

5. Workflow Drilldown - “Show me the details.”

This page lets you:

  • Drill from summary metrics → individual workflows

  • Compare performance across multiple sites

  • Review binary/checklist responses at scale

Difference from Manager Dashboard:

  • This drilldown spans multiple groups, not just one site

Best for:

  • Cross-site comparisons

  • Regional or enterprise analysis

6. Raw Data Export - “Give me everything in an Excel”

This report provides:

  • A flat, table-style view of all ANVL data

  • Exportable format for Excel or further analysis

Best for:

  • Analysts

  • Custom calculations

  • External reporting needs

7. ANVL Scores (Strength Score & Power Score) - “Where should we focus?”

This page combines ANVL’s proprietary metrics:

Strength Score

Measures workflow quality, such as:

  • Time spent

  • Photos added

  • Hazards identified

Helps combat “pencil whipping.” Completely configurable by client.

Completion / Goal Tracking

Measures how close teams are to defined goals

(e.g., JSAs per week, observations per month).

Power Score

Combines quality + completion into one score.

Use it to:

  • Rank sites

  • Identify struggling locations

  • Prioritize coaching or intervention
