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 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:

FAQs

Will reports I built in Results-Reports be automatically transferred to Results Dashboards?

Default Reports will automatically be transferred. Reports with any customization will not be transferred.

Will scheduled emails in Results-Reports transfer to Results Dashboards?

No, any emails scheduled in Results-Reports will need to be re-created in Results Dashboards.

When will I lose access to Results-Reports?

Results-Reports are currently estimated to be accessible until the end of Q1 2026, when they will be removed from the platform. 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?

No. New Results Dashboards will have to be created to visualize data within the survey copy.

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

Yes, except the Text Highlight visualizations do not exist within Results Dashboards. Results dashboards do support 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.
