R3 Visualisations and reporting - Create a visualisation chart

Supervisors - Supervisors with access to data requiring analysis.

Safety team - safety teams are required to provide support to members within their organisational units which may include data analysis.

Please Note: You need to be a Supervisor or have a Safety Role to access Risk Analytics. Contact uqsafe@uq.edu.au if you can’t see the module and require access. 

1. From the menu, click to open the Risk Analytics module.
2. Click on visualisation designer.
   • To see or edit any existing visualisations, click the visualisations tile.
3. Choose the best chart type for your data. If you’re visualising injuries, then a body map would be best. If you need to show the prevalence of data breaches over time, then we recommend a line chart.
4. Click to choose the data to visualise. If you have lots of data use the search box to look for what you need. You can use the filter button to filter by data type. For example, incident or risk assessment data. 
5. Enter a title and description for your visualisation. These will be seen by others using visualisations and help them know what’s being shown.
   • Use the dropdown option to change the chart type. You’ll only see the chart types your selected data will work on. 
6. Next choose the data and set the conditions and options. Click a sideways arrow to see more options.
   • The option names will change for each chart type. For example a line chart will have a series and a pie chart will have slices.
7. Click Save When adding any data.

Most charts are easier to read with fewer data points. You can create more visualisations to show everything needed.

You remove a data point with the rubbish bin. Or click and drag the cross to move it higher or lower in the list.

You can choose to limit the data being visualised. For example, you might only want incidents from a single location, for example the Saint Lucia.

Note: adding conditions reduces what your visualisation can show. If your visualisation is missing data, try removing or changing some conditions.

Options let you choose what else to show in your visualisation. These are helpful to explain the chart. For example, data labels identify each data element.
