Robust Reporting Options
We are confident that our reports are the best you will find from any online survey provider. Reports can be generated at any time, even while you are still collecting responses. You can also filter the results to create specific reports for any demographic subgroup (cross-tabulation) or date range of responses (trend analysis). Regardless of what your data needs are, we have a report that has been designed to meet them. For more complete details on reporting features, click here.
Available report formats include:
- MS Word - Our flagship report provides full-color bar charts as well as numeric data break-downs. This report is presentation-ready - just click and print and you are done (view sample).
