In the sidebar, open **Operations**, then **Checklists**. The page address is `/checklists/reports`.

## Before you start

Your admin has to give your role the checklists permission, and checklist reporting has to be turned on for the organization. Without it the page says checklist reporting is not enabled.

## Steps

1. Under **Reporting scope**, narrow the report with **Owner** (accounts, work orders, tasks, assets and more), **Template**, **Status**, **Branch**, **Assignee**, **Customer ID**, **Due after** and **Due before**.
2. Tick **Include completed and approved checklists** to see finished checklists too. Until you do, the report covers open checklists only.
3. Read the counters: **Open**, **Blocked**, **Overdue**, **Failed**, **Blocking Items**, **Blocked Owners**, **My Items**, and, when checklist reporting is turned on for those record types, **Blocked Work Orders** and **Blocked Assets**.
4. Press a section button (**Blocking items**, **Owners**, **Work orders**, **Assets**, **Templates**, **Overdue**, **Failed** or **My items**) to jump to that table.
5. In a table, press the owner's name to open the work order, asset or other record and finish the checklist there.
6. Press **Refresh list** to reload the numbers, or **Reset** to clear every filter. **Templates** opens the checklist templates in settings.

## What you see

- **Blocking Items**: failed or blocked checklist items that stop a record from completing, with **Item**, **Checklist**, **Owner**, **Due** and **Evidence** (the number of files attached). An item marked **Blocking** holds the record until it passes.
- **Owners Blocked**, **Work Orders Blocked** and **Assets Blocked**: records held by a checklist gate, with their failed items, overdue count, next due date and progress.
- **Template Performance**: total, completed, completion rate and average time for each template.
- **Overdue Checklists** and **Failed Checklists**: active checklists past their due date, and checklists with failed items.
- **My Assigned Checklist Items**: open items assigned to you.

Each active filter shows as a chip above the counters; press a chip to remove that filter, or press **Clear filters**.

## If something looks different

- A table says nothing matches the current filters: widen the scope or press **Reset**.
- **Blocked Work Orders** or **Blocked Assets** is missing: checklist reporting is not turned on for work orders or assets in your organization, so those tables are hidden.
- The header shows a generated time: that is when the numbers were last calculated. Press **Refresh list** for fresh ones.
