The Answer Summary Report shows the breakdown of answers for a selected questions within the selected date range. The data can be displayed in a table showing each answer per shop and can be graphed as either a bar or pie graph.
The Answer Summary Report can be accessed from the Client Reports page within the Survey Reports drop down and selecting Go.

Figure 2: Report Controls
Begin by selecting a single survey or all surveys depending on client settings and numbers of surveys.
*Selecting all surveys will change the UI from selecting a single question to linking individual questions from all the client's surveys.
Choose your date range to report on. Depending on client setup you will either see a Start Date and End Date or a From Date and number of Periods to report on.
The SHOW ONLY SHOPS IN filters allow the user to limit the data being shown as the default is to include all the data. There are separate filters for Levels, Groups, and Waves so that they can be used together or individually to really control what data is being shown.
The QUESTION filter allows the user to select which question to report on. If using all surveys, the user will link together a single question from each survey that the user decides to report one; you can link any number of questions/surveys but they must be of the same type, example: all date questions.

The SHOW settings control whether to show a table of the answers per shop, to graph the answers in a bar or pie graph, or to do both.
*Graphing is only available for non-text questions, example: yes/no questions, radio questions, etc.
The SCALING settings allow the user to control the X and Y axis and spacing of the bar graph. If data is tightly clustered, this allows the user to reduce the white space on the graph and really zoom in on the data points.
If needed, there is a text box where the user can enter text to display at the end of the report.
In order to run the report, you must use the Full View or Print View button. Based on client settings, some clients will also have a PDF View or Excel View button.
*Excel users will see an additional setting called EXCEL OUTPUT which will change the layout of the document for the columns and answers.
You will also notice at the top right of the page is a Jump To Report drop down which allows you to quickly switch to other reports.
*This report also supports Data Mining by including an additional filter in the controls that lets the user filter the data by Overall Scoring, Shopper Demographics, and Survey Questions.
