  1. Widgets

Widgets represent visualisations you create of responses provided to your survey.
They can also show other data automatically generated or collected by Qualtrics as part of the survey such as response date, time taken to complete survey, estimated respondent location, and for text questions: estimated sentiment and emotional intensity.
Based on the type of information collected (eg number, text, choice, date) for a given question, Qualtrics will initially select what it thinks is a suitable chart type to illustrate this. You can replace these types with others, or adjust settings and styles for these suggestions to better represent your preferences.

ix. Pushing content from other areas

It appears you can’t for example push widgets from the Results tab into the Reports tab.
You thus need to build the same widget in both tabs if you want it displayed in each.

    1. Multiple reports can be created within the Reports tab.
      To create a new report, click on the dropdown arrow the right of the current report name and select +New…
      Check you are in the New Report tab, then enter a report name, report size, orientation and overall margin.
      If you want to specify the margin for each edge of the report, select the Advanced link and enter these.
      Finally, click the Create button.

      Note that you can have multiple reports with the same name.
      See below under Menu options > File for steps on how to rename and delete reports.

    2. Select current report
      If you have more than one report saved in your Reports tab, you can select the report to display by clicking the dropdown arrow the right of the current report name and selecting the name of the desired report.

  1. Menu options
    The menu area consists of File, Share, Edit, View and Insert options.

    1. File
      The File menu allows controlling mostly file-related aspects reports generated in the Reports tab.
      This menu also duplicates options found in the Settings shortcut in the toolbar banner.

      1. New…
        This option is used to create a new report. See the Toolbar Menu > Report name and creation > 'Create new report' section above for more detail.

      2. Copy
        Use this option to create a copy of the currently displayed report. The new version of the report will have ' (Copy)' at the end of its name.

      3. Export to QRF
        An exported QRF file should contain all settings and visualisations from the source report.
        Qualtrics doesn’t include the name of the survey project in the filename it suggests, so while it is possible to find this survey from within the QRF file, it might be quicker to include this in the filename when saving it.
        Since you can include content from other surveys in Reports tab reports, QRF files should not need to be used in the same survey project they were created in.

        QRF report files can be imported into the Reports tab by clicking the report name dropdown in the toolbar menu, clicking on the ‘Import from QRF’ tab, then using ‘Choose a file’ to browse in your system to find and upload the file.

      4. Delete
        To delete a report, select it via the dropdown arrow the right of the current report name. Then in the Toolbar Menu select File > Delete and confirm the deletion.

      5. Rename…
        To rename a report, select it via the dropdown arrow the right of the current report name. Then in the Toolbar Menu select File > Rename.

      6. Settings… and Page Setup…
        These options provide much the same functionality across their Visualisation, Page and Locale tabs.
        On selecting either of these options, a dialogue box is displayed.
        - The Visualisation tab allows setting these options across the entire report: typeface including font size and colour for body text, table header, table body, and chart text; default table density, response count, metric, decimal places, weighting, table totals and cell character limits, colour palette, visualisation margin, response lower limit; and the ability to create custom metrics.
        Some of these options may be offered at the widget level, in which case they would only apply to the widget being edited
        - The Page tab
        The Page tab in this menu option is a duplicate of the options available when creating a page.
        See the Toolbar Menu > Report name and creation > ‘Create new report' section above for more detail.
        - The Locale tab provides options for length units and timezones.
        For the length unit display, you may only be able to select between Cm and Centimetres since our Qualtrics instance may not have been set up to include American measures such as inches.
        For the timezone, NIDA’s standard setting is Australia/Canberra UTC+10 (or UTC+11 during daylight savings).

        In addition to these tabs, there is the option to save these settings as defaults so that they can be applied to new reports.
        To save a default, select the dropdown arrow to the right of ‘Apply my default settings’ at the bottom of the dialogue box and click ‘Save as my default settings’.
        No confirmation is provided that the settings have been saved, however if you then make a change to a setting and then select ‘Apply my default settings’, your change should be reversed.
        Another option that can be used to restore settings is 'Apply Qualtrics default’

      7. Help Link
        Clicking the Help Link opens a new browser tab to https://www.qualtrics.com/support/survey-platform/reports-module/reports-section/paginated-reports-overview/?utm_medium=ReportsSection&utm_source=product&utm_campaign=AdvancedReportsOverview, which is a landing page on the Qualtrics website with more in-depth information on Reports tab options.

    2. Share
      The Share menu allows controlling access to reports generated in the Reports tab.
