How to Create a Classifications SPI

How to Create a Classifications SPI

What is it?

The ability to create SPIs based on Classification data being collected in Baldwin.

Who can create/manage Classifications SPIs?

Any user who is a Form Owner can manage Classifications SPIs.

How can these SPIs be created/managed?

A Classification SPI can be created in the Safety Performance Management (SPM) feature.

Select Safety Performance under Reports

Select the Safety Performance Indicators tab.

Select +New Submission Classification SPI.


Here you can name the SPI, set caution and warning levels, and select the associated Classification.


Complete the following fields to create the SPI:

  • Title: Display name for SPI
  • Published?:
    • Toggle "Yes" to allow SPI to appear on the Quick Risk Safety Profile (QRSP)
    • Toggle "No" to not have the SPI on the QRSP
  • Caution & Warning Levels: (optional)
    • Indicates the level of criticality for exceeding thresholds. 
    • The system monitors these safety indicators within the organization. Should the monthly value exceed the set thresholds, form owners will receive a monthly notification of these exceedances.
    • Note: Setting a warning level lower than a caution level means an exceedance happens when the monthly value is too low.
      • For example: An organization has a safety objective to have an average of 20 submissions per month. To monitor this objective, they would create a submission activity SPI, set the Caution Level to 15 and the Warning Level to 10. Form owner receives the monthly notification alerting them that they are below their goal. 
  • Caution Level: Set a desired caution level to appear on the SPI graph. This will appear yellow on SPI gauge/graph.
  • Warning Level: Set a warning level to appear on the SPI graph. This will appear red on SPI gauge/graph.
  • Classifications: Here you can select which Classification you want to track on your SPI graph. 

 After entering all relevant information, click Save. You can then view your SPI as a graph in the SPI tab. 


The SPI can now be tied to a Safety Objective or to keep as a monitoring SPI, leave as is.
