BACKGROUND
** 24/1/25: TOTALXM REPORTS ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE SINCE WE DIDN’T ADOPT THEM AFTER THE OCT 24 - JAN 25 EVALUATION PERIOD **
The Results tab is the first of two dashboard options available as standard with any Qualtrics survey.
This tab has less flexible dashboard publication options, meaning it is more easily used when combined with TotalXM Reports for this purpose.
Its focus is to allow you to quickly “view and analyze your results in a Default Report consisting of question-based Pages and customizable Visualizations”.1
Qualtrics has recently created a new version of the Results tab dashboard which is available alongside the older version until April 2025.
Qualtrics thus refers to the old version as ‘Results-Reports’ and the new as ‘Results Dashboards’.
You can download or email to share publicly the results you set up in this tab.
Widgets you create in the Results tab can be pushed into TotalXM Reports (or ‘TXRs’ from now on), whereas this is not possible for the equivalent visualisations you create in the Reports tab.
Dashboards/widgets/pages created in the Results tab are not copied when you make a copy a survey project.

Filter options for widgets are available on the widget edit screen and allow you to be more specific about which data your widget should display.
This edit screen can be accessed independently of the status of the edit mode for the dashboard as a whole.
You may also be offered an option to lock certain filters. This allows you to prevent “changes to [the] filter when not in Edit mode”.
In other words, if the filter informational icon is selected for a widget with the Lock filter enabled, options in the filter section are disabled and a lock icon is shown:
Compare this with unlocked filters, which provide a dropdown where choices for a given filter are available:
The lock option is useful if people with only View access to the Results dashboard should be prevented from changing filter settings.
To add and change filters for a widget, click the 3 dots to the right of the relevant widget then select Edit.
The options available in the left hand bar then may include filter options, depending on the widget’s chart type.

COMPATIBLE VISUALISATIONS FOR EACH SURVEY QUESTION TYPE

The following table shows you what visualisations / lists the content items you can use for a given question.This is useful because that can be found in Results tabs.
This includes a list of all Results visualisations and which survey questions they can be used with.
Qualtrics will guess what type of visualisation will suit each question when you first set up the Results tab, however it may not pick the most appropriate one for your needs, and it .
Qualtrics also doesn’t make further guesses after this point, even if you add a new question to the survey.
This table may thus be useful in both cases.
To see a list of just those visualisations that match a given question type, type in part of the question type name in the Search box at the top right of the table.
The tale table will then filter out non-matching options.
(For example, if you are using a multiple choice question, type in ‘mult’.)
You can then click on the links in the ‘WORKS WITH QUESTION TYPES docs’ ‘CONTENT ITEM DOCS’ column to jump to Qualtrics' support pages on how to use that visualisation / content item.
For example, if you are using a multiple question, type in ‘mult’.(You can also click on the ‘WORKS WITH QUESTION TYPES DOCS’ column to jump to Qualtrics' support pages on how to set up the related question.)
To find what question type is used for a given question, in the Survey tab, select the question and check the left hand pane:
