The Survey Management > Interview Progress overlay - provides up-to-date information on the current state of the survey with regards to the total number of respondents, the number of completes, incompletes, screened, quota fulls, and errors etc. The figure below shows an example of the interview progress overlay for a survey’s test database.
Figure 1 - Example of an Interview Progress overlay
- Total no of respondents – for open surveys, this is the number of respondents who have accessed the interview. For limited surveys, this is the total number of respondents who have been uploaded to the survey.
- Response rate – the ratio of the number of completed interviews against the number of respondents invited to participate, presented as a percentage.
- Respondents emailed – the number of invitation emails that have been sent to respondents.
- Interviews not started – the number of respondents who have been emailed but who have not yet accessed the interview.
- Complete – the total number of interviews that have been completed.
- Incomplete – the number of respondents who have accessed the interview but who have not yet completed it. This does not include respondents who have been screened, who have been denied access due to the quota being full, or who have been closed out due to an error.
- Screened – the number of interviews where the respondent has been screened out due to constraints defined in the interview (for example the respondent’s age).
- Quota full – the number of respondents that have been denied access to the survey due to the quota being full.
- Error – the number of interviews that have been stopped due to an error in the survey.
- Total interviews initiated - this field is the count of respondents who have received the first page of the interview irrespective of whether or not the page has been submitted. The field will only appear if the survey has the "Create database row only after first page submission" setting in the Web Options tab enabled (go to Web Options for more information), and there is at least one respondent who falls into this category.
- Incidence status – indicates the percentage of respondents who were willing to complete the survey and who were actually qualified to do so. Incidence (the “strike rate”) is the proportion of respondents contacted in a survey who qualify to complete it.
