Summary Reports: View Response ID’s in Appendix Tutorial

What is this?

By popular demand, we now have a feature that allows you to view the Response ID#s of each individual response in an appendix element within a Summary Report.

Whenever you have an open-ended question, inside of a Summary Report, it will end up reporting with an Appendix element. You can now edit your Appendix element so that it doesn't display the response count of each open-ended question, but instead shows you the response ID. This new feature also allows  you to display and Sort by Response ID, and also allows you to sort by your alphabetical answer text as well.

When would I use it?

This is best used when you're interested in tracking down exactly who said what from inside of a Summary Report (instead of a CSV/EXCEL file) you can do so now by sorting by and displaying your Response ID#'s next to each response.

Customizing your Appendix Element

Step 1: Go to the Project tab-->Analyze & Report

Step 2: Create a Summary Report (or edit an existing one)

Step 3: Click on the pencil icon to the right of the appendix element you'd like to edit

Step 4: Select the Checkbox next to "Show the Response ID next to each Row of the Appendix"

Step 5: Customize your element further (choose if you'd like to hide response count, and how you'd like to sort your responses).

A: Hide Response Count for this Reporting Element: If you do not wish to view the response count for this appendix element, be sure to check this off.

PLEASE NOTE: If you do not check off this item, it will display the Response Count next to each answer as well.

B: Show the Response ID next to each row of the appendix: If you ever want to display the Response ID's in your appendix, this option must be checked.

C: Sort by: This field allows you to choose how you'd like to sort your responses. You can sort by Response ID # and Answer text.

PLEASE NOTE: If you choose Answer Text it will organize your responses in alphabetical order.

Step 6: Click Save

Viewing your Report

Step 1: Click "Run/View Report"

Step 2: Click "Run Report Now" or "Refresh Data"

Depending on how you've customized your appendix element, it will look something like the following:

PLEASE NOTE: For this example, we have hidden response count, and sorted by response ID
