Cultural Pattern Rank Order (CPRO)

GOOD TO KNOW  CPRO reads from Cultural Pattern questions. An assessment whose survey drew on Safety Culture or Other questions instead will not contribute a meaningful column — see Question Composer.

GOOD TO KNOW  The date window filters on the activity's date, not on when responses were collected or when you run the report. An assessment that ran over a period is included or excluded by its activity date alone.

PRO TIP  Start wide and narrow down. Set a generous date range first to see which assessments exist in the window, then tighten it once you know what you are comparing. A too-narrow range is the usual reason a report comes back empty.

HEADS UP  Selecting many utilities across a long window produces a very wide table — one column per matching assessment. The table scrolls horizontally, but for anything beyond a handful of columns the Excel export is far easier to work with.

PRO TIP  The insight is usually in the top three or four rows. A pattern appearing in the top three of every column is a fleet-wide theme; one appearing high in a single column is a site-specific finding. That distinction is what the report exists to make visible.

GOOD TO KNOW  Column headers use the utility's Short Name. If a header is cryptic, that short name is set in Manage Utility — see Utilities. Renaming it there changes these headers, including on reports of past assessments.

HEADS UP  Because each column comes from a different assessment, columns are only comparable where the assessments asked comparable questions. Two activities built from different question sets will produce two valid rank orders that do not mean the same thing side by side. Check what each survey actually contained before drawing conclusions across columns.

GOOD TO KNOW  An empty result means no assessment matched all the criteria — the date window, the chosen utilities, and having cultural pattern data to rank. Widen the dates first; that is the most common cause.

PRO TIP  Export to Excel for anything you intend to circulate or annotate. Wide CPRO tables are hard to read in the browser, and the export preserves the column headers so the workbook stands on its own.

HEADS UP  Export Excel — it is the only export on this report. A CSV option is not available here.

GOOD TO KNOW  The export is a snapshot of the criteria you ran. It carries no record of the date range or utilities you selected, so note those in the filename or a header row if the workbook is going to someone else.
