About Migrating to Results Dashboards

Qualtrics has released a new version of Results-Reports, called Results Dashboards. Both versions of Results are designed to give you a quick and simple visualization of your survey results. Each question in your survey will have a visualization pre-made for it. However, there are also many customization options available to you to help you build a report to fit your needs.

This page is for Results Dashboards users as a guide to learn about new functionality and recreate features from your Legacy Results-Reports. For more in-depth information about each feature described here, visit the linked pages.

Qtip: If you’re looking for an introduction to each reporting platform, read these support pages:

Question Page vs. Custom Page Migration

On October 1, 2026, Legacy Results-Reports will no longer be available. You will only be able to use Results-Dashboards.

On September 30, 2026, question pages of Legacy Results-Reports will be automatically migrated to Results Dashboards. This requires no action on your part.

However, custom pages of Legacy Results-Reports will not be migrated. Before September 30, 2026, you will need to migrate these manually or save them.

Question Pages (No Migration Required)

Question pages are default pages of the report that Legacy Results generate for you. The visualizations on a question page can only show data for the corresponding question.

Here are some ways to tell if a page is a Question Page:

The page is named after a question / field, and cannot be renamed.
Under Page Options, you can’t delete the page.
The visualizations' sources can’t be changed to different questions or fields.

Extra visualizations or different themes and color schemes are not necessarily evidence of a custom page.

Custom Pages (Migration Required)

Custom pages include any page created by clicking Create Custom Page.

Here’s how to tell if a page is a Custom Page:

You can name the page whatever you want.
Under Page Options, you can delete the page.
There is data from different questions on the same page.
In the list of pages, the Custom Pages are listed above Question Pages, with a dividing line between them.

If you’d like to save your Custom Pages, you can download individual pages or download the entire report. Make sure to download content before September 16, 2026, when editing is disabled.

To rebuild Custom Pages in Results-Dashboards, read the rest of this support article.

Qualtrics may, in its sole discretion and without liability, change the timing of any product feature rollout, change the functionality for any in preview or in development product feature, or choose not to release a product feature or functionality for any reason or for no reason.

Does copying a project also copy the Results Dashboard?

Yes. Copying a survey project also copies the Results Dashboards created to visualize data. Note that private report pages will not be copied.

Does Results Dashboards have the same visualizations as Results-Reports?

Yes, Results Dashboards supports all of the same visualizations, including Text Highlights and Heat Map Plots.

Can I create a Statistics Table widget within Results Dashboards?

There is no Statistics Table widget in Results Dashboards. A similar widget can be created by making a Simple Table and adding your desired statistics as metrics within the Metrics section.

How are tracked events stored?

Tracked events are stored in a cookie called QSI_CT, which counts the number of times that event has occurred. For instance, if there are two different events that you tracking, eventOne and eventTwo, and the first happens five times and the second only once, QSI_CT will be '{"eventOne":5,"eventTwo":1}'. If you want to reduce cookie size, it's a good idea to keep event names short. Additionally, the cookie should only last for the lifetime of the user's session.
