Figure 1 - The report settings and navigation options
The navigation options are as follows:
- Jump to question – click the down arrow beside the field to open a drop-down list of all the questions in the survey, then click on the question you are interested in. Rapid Results jumps directly to the question.
- Report – here you can select the report you wish to display. You can choose between all the saved reports for the current survey.
- A Back to top link beside each question enables you to move quickly back to the top of the results list if you need to change the display parameters or move to another question.
Report Settings
Click Report Settings to toggle the report settings panel open and closed. This panel contains some general settings for specifying how the result lists are to be displayed.
Note: If the Rapid Results settings are changed, they will be stored (user-specific) after the session and will be used the next time a user enters the page.
- Decimals – the number of decimal places to be used when displaying numerical results (percentages and averages).
- Distribution – specifies how the results are to be presented.
- Count and Percent – gives both the actual figure for the number of respondents choosing this answer, and that figure as a percentage of the total.
- Count – gives the actual figure for the number of respondents choosing this answer.
- Percent – gives the result for each option as a percentage of the total.
- Significance testing – will check statistical significance between the results in the columns in the aggregated table when they have independent samples. When a value is specified in this field, an "Include significance testing" checkbox is displayed in the question selection page when sending a report to Excel (go to Exporting a Report to Excel Using Rapid Results for more information).
Note: “Statistical significance” means that the differences found in the sample(s) may be assumed to exist in the population(s) from which the probability samples are drawn. Statistical significance has nothing to do with “importance” as the term “significance” is used in normal language. For example, 95% confidence level means that there is a 5% chance that such a difference in scores could have been found purely through the effects of sampling. When a significance testing level is selected, each column in the table is given a letter that is included in the column header. Rapid Results represents statistical significance by displaying in which columns in the same row the difference is statistically significant.
- Off – no confidence testing is performed on the results.
- Confidence level T test (%) – Rapid Results looks for the selected level of statistical significance between the segments in the tables and indicates if found.
- Status filter – Rapid Results can present all the responses that have been received, or only the results pertaining to Surveys in a specific status. Click the drop-down arrow beside the Status filter field and select the desired option.
- Total column – you can specify whether a Totals column is to be presented, and if so, where it is to be located. Click the drop-down arrow beside the field and select the desired location. Note that this option functions only in combination with a banner – if a banner is not used then totals will always be displayed.
- Apply Changes – click this button to apply the changes you have made to the parameters and refresh the data displayed.
