Previous Report Builder: Table

The Table widget allows you to display results clearly and concisely to your respondents. It is an easy and fast way of showing any data in rows and columns.

Rather than writing your data in text, you can make it more understandable and easy to read with this widget. Here is an example of how this could look like:

Check out our video taking you through the table widget set-up.

1. Setting up the widget
2. Widget logic rules

1. Setting up the widget

1.1 Configure table data

1.2 Widget styling

1.3 Choose a table style

1.4 Set table properties

1.1 Configure table data

Now getting into the table content. Set up the table by adding rows and columns, as many as you need, and either typing your own text in each row or column, or use variables from the drop-down menu.

1. Specify the number of columns you need in your table. Ensure you enter the right number of columns because if you add columns later, you will lose the data that you have entered for each column.
2. For each part of your table, decide if you will be giving it a label, which you can type here, or see number 3 about adding a variable.
3. Add a variable to display customized data from the responses. You could choose to show an answer given to a question, the score from a question or question block, or many other variables. Scroll through the drop-down list to find the variable you want.
4. Click Add Row to add more rows and repeat the steps above.

This is an example of the question block custom score ranking table, which has a text section added before the table to explain what is shown:

Now if you want the table to be displayed to all respondents, you're done! Just make sure to click save PDF and continue adding other widgets. 

1.2 Widget styling

Choose how you would like to align your table widget. You can choose to align it to one side and have explanatory text or another widget on the other side or center it.

• Left - widget will be aligned to the left side of the page, in a column layout
• Center - widget will be presented centered across the entire page from the left to the right (full width)
• Right - widget will be aligned to the right side of the page, in a column layout

If you would like a widget to appear side-by-side the table, make sure to set the table aligned on one side of the page, and another widget on the opposite side. For example, choose to align the text widget to the left, and the table to the right.

1.3 Choose a table style

Choose which table style you would like to use.

Here you can see an example of each of the four table styles;

1.4 Set table properties

Next, it's time to choose the table properties. This is your opportunity to customize the table colors and size of the table. Choose the table width as a percentage of the width of the page.

Click on the color selector if you want to change any of the table colors - either the primary color or header text color. By default, the colors are the same as your survey colors. If you select a banded table, you will also be able to select the secondary color.

2. Widget logic rules

If you want to only show this widget under certain conditions, it's time to set the widget logic rules. You can create logic rules so that widgets are only displayed when certain criteria are met. If you want to show a general widget that is visualized every time a PDF report is generated, you can choose not to include a widget logic rule. Learn more about Widget Logic. 

Once you've saved your logic rules, don't forget to save PDF and you're ready to add more widgets!

What's next?

• Conditional Rendering is a way of displaying elements based on a condition. It allows you to create simple conditions inside a widget and reduce the number of widgets and rules. With Conditional Rendering, you can render different UI markups based on certain conditions.
• Add the Formula KPI widget to display the results of formulas that you have set up. You can use this widget to have a quick visual representation of your formulas.  KPI stands for key performance indicator, a quantifiable measure of performance over time for a specific objective.
• The custom results by respondent table is a dynamic type of widget that will add records automatically to the table once you have set it up. You can set the maximum number of records to show and set it to sort records from low to high or high to low.
