The report settings screen:
Response data
- Include incomplete responses: Select this option if you want to include incomplete responses in your report. Checked by default.
Security
- Report results visibility: There are two options, public or private. If public is selected everybody will have access to view the report (including respondents), if they know the url to the report. If private is selected only users with access to the report are allowed to view the report. NOTE: A private report can be added to a public report portal. That way the report will be public through the report portal. In other words, if the report is included on a portal, the security settings of the portal will take precedence.
Behavior
- Enable drilldowns: Enabling drilldowns allows you to click on items in the report to open up new reports based on the item you clicked on. The new report that you get will be exactly the same as the original report, except for the filtered data. You can drill down as many levels as you like. Many consecutive clicks will likely result in a report with very little data. Clicking on drilldown reports works the same way as adding report filters, except that these filters are temporary.
- Cache report results: For surveys with many responses, and with a report page at the end of the survey (if you have set up the survey to forward to the report after respondent has completed), recalculating every time would put an enormous load on the server. To avoid this you can choose to "cache report results". This means that instead of recalculating statistics continuously, you set a "recalculating period". For example once an hour. This way the report will be fairly updated at all times without bringing your server down. Even so, we recommend to turn off reporting for respondents, if the number of respondents get very high. NOTE: Free-text comments are never cached. This means that if the report is available to the respondents, you could face serious server problems at high loads.
Other
- Description: Description is used in the admin module only and is useful to remember what is included in the report.
