Results Table Visualization

About Results Tables

The Results Table visualization displays data in a list format. It breaks out each response as a separate row, and allows you to customize what columns of collected data to include. The Results Table is best if you want to see individual responses or open-ended feedback; if you want to display aggregate data, use the Statistics Table or a Data Table.

Customization

Adding Field Columns

Instead of choosing one question as the source of your Results Table, you can add multiple fields that serve as data columns.

1. Click Add Field to add a field, or column, of data.
2. Type in the text box to change the name of a column. This does not edit the question’s appearance in the survey, just the report.
   Qtip: Want the edited field to revert back to its default name? Just erase what you’ve written, and it’ll automatically go back to what is was before.
3. Remove a field from your table by clicking the X beside it.
4. To change the order of your columns, click the icon beside the field and drag it.

Sort by

Click the Sort By dropdown to change how the rows are sorted. You can only sort by columns you’ve inserted and dates.

Reverse the sort by clicking the arrow button to the right.

Rows

You can manually adjust the Number of rows the table displays by typing in the field or clicking the plus (+) and minus (–) buttons.

Include the first row of column headers by selecting Show header row. Deselect this option to hide it. Remember that you can edit the text of headers above, where it lists Fields.

Table Cell Length

By default, your table cells will show the full cell values. However, you can decide to truncate your cell values using the Table Cell Character Limit option. After enabling this option, enter the desired character limit in the box below.

Hiding Empty Responses

The Show responses with no content option is disabled by default. Responses that do not contain a value for your selected field will be automatically excluded from your results table. If you wish to display empty responses, then enable this option.

This option is only available for results tables containing one field. If your results table contains multiple fields, then this option will be hidden.

Show line breaks in responses

Some open-ended feedback formats, like essay, allow respondents to add line breaks to their responses. By default, these line breaks are displayed in responses added to results tables. If you’d like to enable or disable this option, use the Show new lines in responses checkbox.

Rater Category Display Logic

This feature is only available for results table visualizations in 360 subject reports. If you’ve created a rater group filter, you can add it to your widget by clicking Display Logic and choosing your filter.

Styles

Select the Styles tab to modify table header and body fonts.

Select Alternate Row Colors to shade every other row and make them easier to read.

Selecting Repeat Table Header will make sure that the header row (not the title) will repeat as the table gets much larger and has many rows.

Use Margin to adjust the table’s margins.

Compatibility

Results Tables are compatible with all question types, custom variables, survey metadata, and Embedded Data options.

Results tables can be used in survey advanced-reports, 360 reports, and employee report templates.
