View and Download Data

The 3 critical components needed to archive a survey for future reference and analysis are:
  • The Excel Report with labels downloaded from the Reports Manager page.
  • The Quick Report to see the questions, response choices and r numbers
  • The Print View to see the survey as a respondent and save to PDF for reference.
WSU is working on a feature that would enable you to download all three components in an archive with a single click.
An announcement will be here when this feature is ready. 

There is no bulk download for multiple surveys;  this process must be done on a survey-by-survey basis.

General concepts survey account holders need to know before starting the download process:
  • Response data is tied to the survey questions by the use of response codes called  “r” numbers
  • Response data can be exported as Excel or CSV formats.
  • R numbers are downloaded and in the excel report with labels, the excel report without labels and the CSV file.
  • R numbers are displayed along with the question text and response choices on the Quick Report displayed in the browser.
  • The Quick Report shows the questions, the response choices and the data in graphical form.
  • Print view can be used to display survey questions without data, even if the survey has multiple pages.
  • You must have a minimum of shared manage permission for the survey to access all components you need.
