The response 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 the table to sort records from low to high or high to low.
Here's how a table could look like in your report:
This guide will teach you:
1. Add a response table widget
To add the widget to the page, all you have to do is click on it and drag and drop it on the page.
Once you add the widget a pop-up window will open where you can add your content.
2. Setup the widget
First, you will set up the data that will appear in the table. Each row you are setting up here will be displayed as a column in the table.
- Give the column a name so respondents will know what data they are being shown.
- Use the drop-down arrow to select the value which you want to show in the table. This could be the date and time of the response, a response to a particular question, the custom score, or a formula.
- Use the drop-down arrow to choose how to sort the results. No sorting is the default option, but you can choose to sort results from highest to lowest or vice versa.
- Add or remove columns from the table. Adding another column will bring up the same 3 options, so repeat steps 1-3 to choose what to display in the next column.
- Choose the style of your table: Basic, Header, Banded or Column.
- Adjust the table width.
- Select your primary color from the color selector.
- Select your header text color from the color selector.
- Limit the number of rows that will be displayed.
- Click the + sign to add a filter to your table. Only records that match this filter will be displayed in the table. The default filter type is based on answers to a particular question. If you'd like to change this, click the arrow to access the drop-down menu of all available filter options, such as intro field, date, language, and quiz score.
The custom filter is useful if you want to always show the table, but only want data shown if it matches certain criteria. If you want to only display this widget for example for a particular company department, you can set the logic widget rules. The conditions for the custom filter and the widget logic rules don't need to be the same. Eg, set a custom filter to only display rows of data for those who answered the English version of the survey, and the widget logic rules could state that the entire widget should only be displayed to those in a particular company department.
3. Additional settings
Select the widget and then at the right of the screen click on the gear button. The widget list will be replaced by the additional settings.
Here you can find the following settings:
1. ID
This is the ID of the widget.
2. Name
You can name your widget to identify it easier.
3. Rules
You can add your widget logic rules to ensure that your content will be visible only when the conditions are true.
When you click the Edit rule button a new pop-up window will appear.
Select from the dropdown menu the option you want, and then fill in all the required fields. Once you add everything you can click the Submit button.
Your content will not be displayed on the page anymore, instead of the content, you will be able to see the widget logic rules.
If you would like to edit your content again just click on the rule and the widget will expand. To edit the rule you would have to click on the Edit rule in the settings.
This is the window where you can delete the rule by clicking on the Delete rule button.
4. Margins
Add margins to create space around elements and move them on your page. By default, the margins are set to 0, but you can change that anytime and add the margin you prefer.
4. Additional buttons
When you click on your widget, 4 blue buttons appear.
The Arrow allows you to move between the different layers of the page. For example, if you add a widget in a column then you have 3 layers: the page, the column and the widget. The arrow allows you to quickly select a different layer.
The second icon, the four arrow sign, allows you to move your widget up or down to the page.
The third icon, the page, allows you to copy this widget and the forth icon, the bin, to delete it.
