Create and Customize a Standard Report

The insert tool is the easiest way to add questions to your report. Click the Insert button between any two elements in your report and select Question Chart from the menu. Then select the question you wish to add from the dropdown menu and click Add Question.

You can also click Bulk Edit in the upper right of the report.

1. Select the Question Chart from the Add another report element dropdown menu.
2. Then select the question you wish to add from the dropdown menu and click Add to Report. When you are finished adding questions click Done.

If you wish to add all the questions in your survey select the Add All Questions option at the very bottom of the question dropdown menu.

Remove Questions via Bulk Edit

To remove questions, use the Delete option found to the right of any element. If you wish to remove questions in bulk click the Bulk Remove link to select multiple questions. Last, click Remove Selected to finish.

The rows of both Radio Button Grid and Checkbox Grid questions can be reported on separately as either a pie chart or a bar chart. Here are the steps to set this up:

1. Click the Insert button between any two report elements and select Question Chart from the dropdown menu.
2. In the next dropdown menu look for your grid question. Instead of selecting the overall question title select the first row of the grid, seen below, and click Add Question.
3. Continue adding each row of the grid question. This will display the rows of the table in chart format.

Well-designed survey questions often allow customers an opt-out option via a "not applicable" answer (or something similar) to maintain the question's validity. If you are using this option, you will likely also want to remove this option from your reports.

1. To remove NA options for all questions in your report click Report Options > Layout and uncheck N/A Options under Show the Following.
2. Click Save to apply the setting. For all questions with answer options set to N/A this will remove them from the chart, table and total response count!

If you wish to remove your NA options on a question-by-question basis go to the question in your report and click Layout & Options to edit. Scroll to the Answer Options, uncheck N/A Options and click Save.

Haven't set up any NA options yet? You can do so by following the steps below!

1. Edit the question with the NA option.
2. Edit the NA option (it can be called whatever you wish NA, N/A, Not Applicable, Does not apply, etc.) by clicking the pencil icon.
3. Select Not applicable in the Special Settings dropdown menu.
4. Click Done and Save.

If you wish to include various statistics in your report go to Report Options > Layout and check the Statistics Table option.

If you wish to customize the statistics shown on a question-by-question basis go to the question in your report and click the Layout & Options to edit. Within Question Options select the statistics options you wish to include or exclude and click Save.

Please note, many of the below statistics require numeric Reporting Values.

Once you are finished customizing your report, you can export the entire report either to PDF, Excel, Word, or PowerPoint. To do so click the Download button in the upper-right corner and select your desired option.
