Add Dynamic Report Items (Compounds, Crosstabs, Rating Scale Summaries & Rating Scale Pivots)
Adding dynamic report items - Compounds, Crosstabs, Rating Scale Summaries & Rating Scale Pivots - is easy with the floating toolbars. Between each question panel in the report is a set of buttons allowing easy insertion of a new item at that location. These dynamic items can also be added using the Add button at the top right of the report.
Crosstabs (Cross Tabulation)
Cross tabulation (or crosstab) reports are used to analyse the relationships among the responses to two or more questions. The crosstab presents data in a table with the x-axis presenting the responses for a selected lead question and the y-axis mapping the responses from the target question against each of the responses to the lead question.
Cross tabulation helps to identify the relationships within survey results. Crosstab tables record the number (frequency) and percentage of respondents that have the specific characteristics described in the cells of the table. They allow close investigation of the relationships within a set of survey responses that might otherwise not be evident.
With the crosstab feature, users first select a lead question followed by the target question for cross tabulation. Multiple crosstab tables can be created for a single lead question by selecting multiple target questions. When multiple target questions are selected, a summary table will show at the top, followed by crosstab tables for each selected target question.
Layout options can be configured from the Configure/Layout icon.
Rating Scale Pivot
Rating Scale Pivot reports can be used to compare the responses to a lead multiple choice question against responses to selected rating scale or emoji scale questions.
First select a pivot type (rating scale questions or emoji scale questions). Then select a lead multiple choice question, followed by the target scale and questions. The selected rating scale or emoji scale questions will be presented in charts (with an option to show tables) and present the average for each lead question response option against the scale options. A summary chart will show at the top, followed by charts (and table options) for each Rating Scale question.
A use case example is a 360 degree feedback project. The lead question might be the relationship that a respondent has to the 360 degree feedback recipient (e.g. manager, colleague, direct report, self, other). The target questions could then be about the 360 recipient's performance against the scale for specific expected competency or behaviour questions. The Rating Scale Pivot would present charts and tables showing on average how each relationship group in the lead question responded against the scale for each target question.
The layout of the Rating Scale Pivot can be customised from the Layout icon. There are options to set the sorting order, data precision, chart type, chart colours and table options.
The Rating Scale Pivot can be presented in chart or table format or both.
Rating Scale Summary
A Rating Scale Summary compares the average data between questions in a single chart. By selecting a Rating Scale (or Emoji Rating Scale) and two or more questions, you will get an accurate comparison of the responses for the questions, as well as an overall average for all your selections.
The layout of the Rating Scale Summary can be customised from the Layout icon. There are options to set the sorting order, data precision, chart type, chart colours and table options.
The Rating Scale Summary can be presented in chart or table format or both.
Compound Charts
A Compound Chart aggregates results for selected Rating Scale questions, Answer List questions and Emoji questions. Compound Charts are created from the "Floating Toolbar" or the "Add" button at the top of reports. Statistics and Data Panel options are available for Compound Charts. Compound Charts will appear when printing reports (unless the hide option is selected). However, they are not included when exported to CSV.
Select the Compound type based on the desired question type. Then select the content scale or answer List type. The title for the compound chart can be added using rich test.
Then select the questions to be aggregated.
The compound chart can be dragged and dropped anywhere in the report using the arrow up/down icon at the top left. By default, the questions included in the compound chart are shown above the chart/table. This can be turned off by selecting the "Toggle question caption" icon.
Print or Export Reports (including creating PDF and Microsoft Word versions)
Survey results can be printed from the Reports Menu. There is a Print Button alongside each report. There is also a Print Button in the top right menu when editing a report.
Print will bring up a print version of the survey results which can be either printed or saved as a pdf. Most browsers have advanced settings to make adjustments depending on the layout of the report being printed.
Print to Microsoft Word can be achieved by simply saving the report as a pdf first and then opening the pdf document with Microsoft Word.
You can export the data contained in a report in CSV format. To do so, create the report and, while viewing the report, click the Export button on the toolbar.
On the export screen, you will be able to select a number of options:
Anonymise completed participants
This will allow you to remove any participant names & email addresses from those who have completed the survey. Please note that this option is only available to users with an Administrator level.
Export all (or selected) questions
If you don't wish to export all of the question data, you may select which questions are included in your export.
Once you have selected the desired options, click the Export button at the bottom. The CSV file will be automatically downloaded by your browser.
Net Promoter Score – Automatic score calculation and a Gauge in reports
The Net Promoter Score calculates automatically for all Emoji Rating Scale questions that use the NPS scale (RECOMMENDED) and also for normal Rating Scale questions with a rating scale ranging from 0 to 10. A Gauge with a scale from -100 to +100 will show for NPS questions in reports.
Additionally, reports can be filtered by selected dates, meaning NPS can be measured and reported over time to allow comparison of performance between time periods.
