Subgroup reports are useful when different report viewers should see results for a specific group, for example a department, country, location, team, course, customer group or manager area.
To create subgroup reports, you need respondent data and the corresponding filters
Recommended workflow:
- Prepare respondent data before distribution
- Decide which fields you need for reporting, such as department, country, location, team, manager or role.
- Import or validate respondent data
- Make sure group names are consistent. For example, avoid using both “Sales,” “sales” and “Sales Department” if they should be one group.
- Create value filters in Results
- Use value filters to define the group you want to report on.
- Create a report
- Create a report that shows the relevant results. Apply the correct filter or comparison.
- Apply anonymity and thresholds
- If the Quest uses Hidden Identity or Advanced Hidden Identity, check that subgroup reports do not show results below the response-count threshold.
- Test before sharing
- Open the report and check that the correct filters are applied and that no unintended data is visible.
- Share the report
- Share the LiveReport or report export with the relevant viewer.
