WSC now supports the ability to Data Pipe individual question responses into
Response Summary Templates,
allowing for additional control over what response data gets merged when the report is
produced.
The following guide will demonstrate the use of Data Piping in a Response Summary Template:
- 1. From the survey designer, navigate to Analysis --> Reports & Exports. Use
the Create Report
icon to create a new survey report.
- 2. Select the Response Summary in the Report Type section.
- 3. In the Summary Response Details section, click on the Summary
Template dropdown box. Select the
Standard Report Summary Template and then click the Download
Template button.
- 4. The system summary template will be downloaded as a Microsoft Word docx
file.
- 5. For Data Piping to work, ensure your survey questions have a valid Question Access
Code. It is important to note that not all survey question types support Data Piping
functionality. This tutorial will be using a Single Line Text question with the
access code MYTEXTQUESTION.
- 6. Add the individual Data Piping codes for your chosen survey questions to the Response Summary
template and save the document. The template document can then be
uploaded back into the platform by
using the Upload Template button.
- 7. Input into the available text field any Data Piping Codes that will be
referenced in the
Template, (excluding [@SUMMARY@]). These will be checked and
merged when the summary report is
produced.
- 8. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and select the Submit button to save your
changes. The report with the applied template can then be downloaded from the Reports &
Exports
browse when it has finished generating. Response data will replace the associated Question Access
Code in the finished report:
