Edit Subject Report Basic Overview (360)

About the Edit Subject Report Section
You can access the Subject Report by going to the Reports tab and clicking Edit Subject Report.
Subject reports are reports that contain the evaluation data for one subject. For example, John Doe’s subject report will contain data from his self evaluation, as well as his manager and peers’ evaluations of him, but it will not contain the evaluation John completed for his manager.
Subject reports are usually only viewable by the subject and the Brand Administrators who edit and distribute the project. Through the use of special report options, managers can also be given access to their direct reports’ subject reports.
The subject report has one template that applies to all subjects. Any formatting changes you make to the subject report for one participant will apply to all other participants’ reports. This means you can build a standard report quickly without worrying about having to manually apply it to every individual participant.
Qtip: Reports in 360 should be kept under 4MB total and under 20 data sources. You can see what size your survey is by exporting the QRF and seeing what size the downloaded file is.
Generating a Report from Scratch
The first time you navigate to Edit Subject Report, a Generate Report window will pop up. You will have a chance to determine some settings before you start editing your report. These are settings that can be modified at any time.
- Data Sources: Data sources specify the type of data you can include in your subject report. By default, we provide you with data sources that isolate each relationship you’ve included in your project. For example, in this image, the “Self” will only contain the subject’s evaluation of his or herself. “Others” is a source that combines all evaluators who are not the subject themselves. Click the linked page to learn more about how to set up custom data sources.
- Graph Colors: Here, you can determine what color groups your graphs will use by default. Visit the linked page to learn more about setting a color group up.

John Doe
When switching between subjects, you’ll notice that there’s an option called John Doe (Example Data). This is a fake participant with sample data.
John Doe will not affect your admin reports, your raw data export, or your limit on auditable participants. John Doe data is there to help you visualize what your subject report will look like with data in it, so you can start building reports before you collect any data.
