The dashboard is designed to help users quickly monitor:

The visual layout helps both operational teams and management gain quick insight into organizational safety and risk performance.

Accessing the Dashboard

After logging into BowTiePro Cloud Edition, users can access the dashboard from the main navigation menu.

The dashboard opens automatically for many users depending on system configuration and permissions.

Understanding the Dashboard Layout

The dashboard is organized into multiple sections containing charts, graphs, and operational summaries.

These sections may include:

Monitoring Hazards and Risk Distribution

The dashboard provides visual summaries of hazards across:

Organizations can use this information to:

Charts and summaries help simplify large volumes of operational data into easy-to-understand visuals.

Reviewing Controls and Safeguards

BowTiePro dashboards also provide visibility into controls and barriers used to manage operational risks.

Users may review:

This helps organizations evaluate how risks are being managed across different operational environments.

Monitoring Incidents and Deficiencies

Incident-related information may also appear within dashboard summaries.

Users can monitor:

This improves visibility into operational issues requiring attention.

Reviewing Action Tracking Metrics

The dashboard helps teams monitor action management activities, including:

This allows organizations to improve accountability and follow-up management.

Using Dashboard Analytics

The dashboard analytics help management:

The visual format simplifies communication between operational teams and leadership.

Benefits of the Dashboard

Using the BowTiePro dashboard helps organizations:

The dashboard provides a high-level operational overview while still supporting detailed analysis workflows.

The BowTiePro dashboard provides organizations with a centralized and visual overview of operational risks, incidents, actions, and safety performance metrics.

By combining analytics, workflow visibility, and operational summaries into a single interface, the dashboard helps organizations improve oversight, decision-making, and continuous risk management processes.

BowTiePro organizes operational risk information using a structured hierarchy built around:

This structure helps organizations manage large amounts of risk information in a centralized and organized manner.

Understanding how these components work together is important for creating effective BowTie diagrams, LOPA assessments, incident records, and action tracking workflows.

What is a Case?

A Case is a high-level container used to organize operational risk information within BowTiePro.

Cases may represent:

Each case contains its own:

Cases help organizations separate and manage risk information across different operational areas.

What are Locations?

Locations are subdivisions within a case that help organize hazards and operational activities geographically or functionally.

Examples of locations may include:

Locations help organizations:

Understanding Hazards

A Hazard represents a source of potential harm, operational loss, or unwanted events.

Hazards are the central element of BowTie analysis and are linked to:

Examples of hazards may include:

Hazards help organizations identify and manage operational risk systematically.

Relationship Between Cases, Locations, and Hazards

BowTiePro organizes these elements in a hierarchical structure.

Example structure:

Level Description
Case High-level operational or organizational grouping
Location Specific operational area within the case
Hazard Source of operational or safety risk

This structure helps organizations maintain clear separation and organization of operational risk data.

Using Hazards Within BowTie Analysis

Hazards serve as the foundation for BowTie diagrams and LOPA assessments.

Each hazard can include:

This allows organizations to build complete operational risk models around each identified hazard.

Benefits of Structured Organization

Using cases, locations, and hazards helps organizations:

This structure becomes especially valuable in large organizations managing multiple operational environments.

Filtering and Reporting

Cases and locations can also be used for:

This allows management teams to review risk information by:

Best Practices

When organizing cases, locations, and hazards:

Proper organization improves long-term reporting, scalability, and operational visibility.

Cases, locations, and hazards form the foundation of operational risk organization within BowTiePro.

By structuring risk information in a consistent and centralized manner, organizations can improve visibility, simplify risk analysis, strengthen reporting, and support more effective operational safety management.
