Viewing Blackline Analytics Essential Reports
Blackline Live includes a built-in suite of analytics reports that help you understand the data being collected from your device fleet. Blackline Analytics includes a list of reports focused on different applications of your Blackline safety devices, including event and alert counts and location, usage and compliance data, and trends over time.
- From the Main menu, select Blackline Analytics. The analytics report page opens.
- Select a link to display the corresponding report.
The following Blackline Analytics Essential reports are available with the basic analytics service that comes with the purchase of one or more of Blackline’s connected devices.
Report G7c/G7x G6 G7EXO/EXO8 Beacon Overview
This dashboard is the Analytics landing page. It provides a collection of metrics from the other reports and shows trends across key safety metrics: usage, compliance, and alerts for the last four months.
✔ ✔ ✔ Usage and Compliance
Display the total usage of your fleet's devices during a chosen period of time, as well as the percentage of compliance within that time frame. Use this report to determine which users are staying compliant and track overall compliance trends over time.
✔ ✔ ✔ Bump Tests and Calibrations
Review your fleet's bump test and calibration history. You can select a date range to see the number of devices tested, tests performed, tests performed with a G7 Dock, and the overall success rate. You can also use the data in this report in combination with the Usage and Compliance report to determine whether compliance trends coincide with bump test and calibration frequency and success.
✔ ✔ ✔ Worker Safety Analytics
Review worker safety trends, including alerts by device, alerts by day of the week, alerts over a worker’s shifts, the impact of longer shifts on alerts, and alert types by month compared against planned operations and maintenance events. These trends can assist you in narrowing down possible root causes of alerts, which can help determine corrective measures to improve worker safety and reduce alerts.
Note:The Worker Safety Analytics report was retired on October 31, 2024. Data from the Worker Safety Analytics report is included in the updated Alerts report.
✔ ✔ Gas Exposures (formerly the Gas Readings report)
View a combined chart of gas-sensor readings alongside an interactive map. This can help you understand the profile for a worker's gas exposure risk
✔ ✔ EXO Analytics
Review area monitoring gas readings by sensor and device. This data can help you to identify trends worth investigating and to create area monitoring logs.
✔ LEL-MPS Readings
View LEL readings for LEL-MPS sensors over a selected date range, separated by the classification of gases detected. The readings in this report are shown alongside an interactive map. This can help you identify where exposures are occurring, when they are highest, and understand the profile of a worker’s gas-exposure risk.
✔ ✔ Events
View a high-level overview of your data that allows you to drill down into specifics using a selection of filters. Compare data across users, explore how frequently certain event types are reported, compare gas-sensor alerts, and see when events occur over time.
✔ ✔ ✔ Events map
Explore the locations of your data events to help determine if there are issues that may require further investigation. For example, if multiple events of the same type occur in the same location, you may want to investigate the cause.
✔ ✔ ✔ Alerts
View the full breakdown of alerts across your device fleet. This includes which device users are triggering the most alerts, when and where alerts are being triggered, and which types of alerts are most common. If your organization is using Blackline's monitoring services, you can also see how long it takes for alerts to be resolved and resolution trends, including the most common resolutions.
Note:The Alerts report has been updated and includes the data originally found in the Worker Safety Analytics report, which will be retired on October 31, 2024.
✔ ✔ Devices and Cartridges
View an overview of the status of your devices, including their firmware and cartridges. You can use these logs to stay on top of firmware updates and ensure your devices and device cartridges are being used and maintained regularly.
✔ ✔ ✔ Device Assignment History
Track changes made to devices to aid in troubleshooting and device management. Device changes can include team member reassignments, device name changes, and instances where devices are moved between organizations.
✔ ✔ ✔ Device Logs
Review data from device alerts from the past seven days.
✔ ✔ ✔ Docks
View information on the locations and usage of docks. Use the map to see where a dock was last used and view each dock's bump test and calibration results to track performance and ensure regular maintenance.
✔ ✔ Location Beacons
Review the status and effectiveness of your Location Beacons. You can use this report to monitor battery levels and ensure locations are being delivered frequently and consistently.
✔ In addition to the listed Essential reports, there are three Essential emailed reports, including:
Usage report. This report provides usage details for G7 devices only. It does not include compliance details.
Alerts/Worker Safety analytics reports (populated for customers on self-monitored or Blackline-monitored plans)
High Gas Exposures report
Emailed Analytics Essential reports are available on a weekly or a monthly cadence. To request an emailed report, please contact your Blackline Safety Customer Service Manager (CSM).
