Allow users to select multiple labels for an action

Hey @Broc Reed 👋

Thank you for the note and suggestion, I love the idea. 

Its something we are discussing currently, we absolutely see the value in this! I would say this is a matter of when and not if we extend this functionality to be a one:many relationship.

Can I ask how you use this label data downstream, do you analyse your task data via label to see where you need to pay particular attention?  

I have had requests for multiple label selections on Actions, as well as the ability to have sub labels.  For example, if we pick food safety, a sub label could be pest control, food defense, chemical control, etc.  I suppose a multi-select might work, but that means we’d need to find the higher level label and the sub label in this case where we may want to roll up all food safety actions regardless of the sub type.  In other cases, like Broc, we may “cross” types such as a food defense issue could also be a maintenance action.

Hi @James Bell 

We have a goal to reduce the number of repeated nonconformances that are found each month during our Food Safety audits of the facility and use the label feature to quickly sort and filter the types of nonconformances such as chemical control, building maintenance, pest control, etc.

There are a number of ways that I can use multiple labels to help me create even more compartmentalized assessments of our food safety program. For example, I would like to be able to choose “Chemical Control” and “Aseptic Department” that way I knew how many nonconformances a specific department had in relation to chemical control.

Thank you @Broc Reed and @Corey 

Really interesting to hear the ideas for future improvements of labels and how these would benefit your businesses. 

 

Hi @James Bell,

Just checking in if there has been any more thought on the ability to use multiple Labels. This feature would provide a really great way of managing Actions across multiple reporting internal and external reporting requirements. The current structure of Safety Culture provides a lot of Control and filtering based in Inspections / Issue Categories / Sites and Assets as One-to-One

Multiple labels would really help as a One to Many ways of filtering all Actions for day to day management purposes but also compliance reporting for our Aviation Safety Management System and multiple other stakeholders. 

Great idea.
For myself I would also see the colour coding, scoring etc or sub-category of the labels.

Our industry may have various labels that we may use that are linked.

For example there could be 5 Labels where they are all Working at Height Activities but the specific label maybe Cheery Pickers or MEWPs.

It could be hot work / fire etc.

It could relate to hazard type such as slips, trips and falls or environmental etc

I am trying to look at rationale within the action structure then leads the org in certain circumstances to then may escalate or expand based upon this.

When we then link analytics and the Non-Compliance side of the business we can start to male more informed decisions that link initially to the label type.

I would also add that there may need to be a PRIORITY such as SEVERE / CATASTROPHIC this is an immediate risk of severe risk to personnel, assets or the environment

Let us not forget that at a lower level an action maybe very simple and a snagging measure for the site team to record a gap.

in more serious scenarios this can be very serious and the consequences can b e far reaching that affect the Health & Safety Management System and Quality Environmental System and Procedures.

It may also be the proof of good compliance to recognised standards or accreditation proof.

Hey everyone! You’re sharing some fantastic, very valid comments that will continue to help shape this features growth and improvement. On that note, I am jumping in to let you know that support of multiple labels per action is not far off from being released, likely over the next couple of weeks. I will report back as soon as I can, however do keep your eyes peeled. I am looking forward to hearing your feedback! 

Hey everyone, I’m pleased to announce that Multiple labels per action. You can see the detailed post here: 

Looking forward to any feedbacks from you regarding this feature. Thanks for participating.
