Section element title

An optional title for the section element. If defined, the title is shown in the report.

Content

Defines the type of data shown in the section element. The options available are:

• Questions: The data for all or some of the questions in the surveys for the report will be shown in the section element.

• Respondents: The section element will list the respondents for the responses that match the filters defined for the section element.

• Contingency table (cross-tab): The section element will contain the contingency table formed from 2 questions in the survey. When this option is selected, 2 analysis variables must be defined. Analysis variable 1 defines the rows for the contingency table and Analysis variable 2 defines the columns for the contingency table.

• Survey completion summary: The section element will contain a summary of the answers for questions in the survey. The summary provides information as to which questions are answered, not answered, or answered as 'not applicable' (see also: Allowing to answer a question as 'Not applicable'). The information displayed will contain either counts of questions when multiple responses for a survey are included or the status for a question, when a single response for a survey is included. To perform a drop-off analysis across a set of responses, choose option 'Show charts', and 'Show status count by question' (see below for the options available). To get detailed completion data itemized by participant, select options 'Itemize individual responses', 'Show status count by survey' and 'Show status count by question'.

• Scores: The content of the section element will depend on whether the report is for a set of responses or for a single response. If the report is for a population of response, the section element will contain distribution for the score(s) characterizing the set of responses. There will be one graph per score in the section element. If the report is for a single response, the section element will contain a single graph showing the scores for the response.

Filters

Filters subset the data for the surveys for the report. Three type of filters are supported:

• Response filters: response filters are conditions that select responses based on the answer to specific questions in the survey. Response filters are similar and managed in the same manner as page conditions.

• Respondent filters: respondent filters are conditions that select responses based on fields for respondents. Respondent filters are meaningful only when respondent tracking is set to Identifying for the surveys.

• Parameter filters: parameter filters are conditions on responses that apply to parameters captured when a user start a survey. These allowed parameter are defined at the level of each survey.

Filters are a powerful mean to perform segmentation analysis where multiple subsets of responses can be selected and contrasted to each other.

Display options

• Questions: Specifies if all or selected questions should be shown in the section element. This option is available when the content (see above) of the section element is set to either 'Questions' or 'Survey completion summary'.

• Show summary: If set, summary statistic on the responses that match the filters defined for the section element will be shown in the report at the beginning of the section element.

• Show charts: If set, a chart will be shown for each question with discrete or numeric answers. If the section element is a survey completion summary, graphs will be added to visualize the question status data.

• Show descriptive statistics: If set, descriptive statistics will be shown for each question. The statistics shown depend on the type of question and may include counts, frequency, mean, median, standard deviations, and 25% and 75% quartiles.

• Show textual answers: If set, the answers provided to textual fields (e.g., from open ended textual question) will be shown for all responses that match the filters for the section element.

• Show statistics for the absence of answers: If set, graphs and descriptive statistics for each question will include data corresponding to participant who did not answer the questions. These data will be identified as "no answer" in the graphs and tables of descriptive statistics.

• Show reason not applicable: If set, reason provided to justify why a question is 'Not applicable' (see also: Allowing to answer a question as 'Not applicable') will be shown. This option is available only when at least one the questions for the surveys included in the report includes the 'Not applicable' option and allows the participant to enter a textual reason.
• Show status count by survey. This option applies to 'Survey completion summary' section element only. If set, the number of questions answered, not answered, and answered as 'Not applicable' will be shown for each survey included in the report and for the set of responses that match the filters for the section element.
• Show status count by question. This option applies to 'Survey completion summary' section element only. If set, the number of questions answered, not answered, and answered as 'Not applicable' will be shown for each question and each survey included in the report and for the set of responses that match the filters for the section element.
• Include answers for pages saved partially: If set, response data for partially saved pages will be included in the report. Partially save pages correspond to pages where data was saved prior to the respondent pressing the forward button at the bottom of the page. Note that response data for partially saved pages is not fully validated and that some of the data may not conform to the constraints placed on the questions (e.g., ranges for numeric values). See also Adding or setting up an organization.

• Itemize individual response: If set, the answer to each question matching the response filters defined for the section element are listed for each respondent. The answers  to questions are provided in the same format as for the browse responses function. Note that this option is not available if option 'Items to include' (see above) is set to 'Respondents'.

• Show score interpretations (single response mode only): If set the interpretations for the scores selected for the section element will be provided. Note that this option applies to the case when the report shows data for a single response only. If the report includes data for more than one response, then this option does not affect the content of the report.

• Insert page break after each question in PDF export: If set, the PDF generated for the report will include page break after each question.

• Anomize participants: If set, the first name, last name, and email of the participant will be removed. If a semi-anonymous ID is available for the participant, it will be used in lieu of the participant's name.

Charts

Charts for the section element can be customized through the options available in the charts tab. By default, the charts for the section element will use the settings defined at the level of the report containing the section element. The charting options available for a section element are identical to those available at the level of the report.
