Advanced Appendices work best with open text fields and single select questions. You can technically pull data from all question types except Checkboxes, Checkbox Grid, Other Textboxes, Max Diff, and Conjoint Experiment, though the data from questions like Drag & Drop Ranking and Grid questions will not be terribly meaningful in this format.

Add-as-Needed data is not available for reporting using the Advanced Appendix Element.

  • Headline - Add a headline for your Advanced Appendix reporting element. There is no default headline for Advanced Appendices.
  • Number - Number your Advanced Appendix reporting element if you wish. There is no default number for Advanced Appendices.

Quotes

Within individual responses you can highlight portions of the text that are particularly relevant to your project as quotes to be used in final reports.

Piped Page

If you edit this element once it's added to the report, you will see an additional set of options!

  • Piped Pages - This is where you'll select which piped page you'll be reporting on.
  • Display as - Under the Questions from piped page heading, you'll be able to choose which chart type is used. You can also toggle whether or not this option is visible in this area.
  • Piping Values to be shown - In this area, you can select which piped values you want to see. When the element is created, all options will be selected. You can remove piped values to essentially filter which piped pages appear in a report.
