Instant Analytics is a "standard" simplified report that you as the survey designer can create when you launch the survey. The general layout of the report is preset and cannot be changed.
When you have created an Instant Analytics report for a survey, the report will be accessible to Forsta Professional users and end users depending on the access permission set for those users. The Professional user access permission is set in the Survey Management > Permissions page (go to Permissions for more information), whilst access for end users is set via the Survey Management > End Users Reporting page.
The report is intended to enable the user to quickly view the survey status, quota information and responses, and interactively perform cross-tab analysis on the data. You can also save reports and export the raw data.
Once you have created the report, Professional users will be able to access it via a link on the survey overview page. If changes are made to the survey, for example new questions are added, then when you compile the survey you can also select to update the report. The data presented in the tables and charts in the report is updated automatically as respondents reply to the survey.
You can create "versions" of the report by specifying which interview statuses and questions are to be displayed and then saving a copy of the report.
Note: The Instant Analytics report only accepts data from the Production database. So until some respondents have replied to your survey, the tables and graphs in the report will be empty.
Instant Analytics is not currently supported in Safari.
Instant Analytics can handle up to 100 000 responses, including all statuses except "Not answered", with a limit of 2000 questions per survey. If the survey has less than 100 000 responses then you will be able to select the Update Instant Analytics Report box in the Launch Survey page.
In the event the Exclude from reporting property has been set for questions in the survey, these questions will also be excluded from the IA report.
IA reports can include a maximum of 200 open text or open text list questions. In the event a survey with more than the maximum is launched with the IA report option selected, the launch will abort with an error message. If this occurs, you must open questions you wish to exclude and select the Exclude from Reporting option, until you have fewer than 200 such questions.
