The Edit section element screen allows to define the filters for responses and the data to display in the section element.



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.

Items to include


The items to include defines the data shown in the section element. The options available are:


  • All questions: The data for all questions in the surveys for the report will be shown in the section element


  • Selected questions: The data for selected questions in the surveys for the report will be shown in the section element. When this option is selected, a table of questions is shown in the screen. In the table, tools New, Edit, and Clear allow to defined precisely which questions should be included in the section element. See also How to work with tables


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

Display options


  • 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.


  • 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.


  • 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'.
