The Quick Poll tool allows your participants to vote on preferred options or answer other multi-choice questions quickly. When your consultation ends, there are two main ways you can collate and analyze your Quick Poll data:
You can analyze your data while the consultation is ongoing for some preliminary insights, but you will not be looking at the final dataset. To report on the final dataset, please ensure that the project or tool is archived so there will be no more contributions.
Using the Detailed Excel Report
The Detailed Report will show you overall tool statistics, each Quick Poll submission, and relevant participant data. To generate the report:
Go to Reporting > Project Reports, choose the relevant Projects and date range, then select Update.
Expand the Download Report menu and select Excel under Detailed Report. This option is only available when you have selected five or fewer projects.
Once the download is complete, open the ZIP file and the relevant project file. There will be an Excel file for each selected project.
Go to the Quick Poll tab to see your data. Each tool instance has its own tab, so multiple tabs may exist.
There are contains three sections to explore:
Summary information: Columns A and B provide an overview of participation and a breakdown of the participation type (registered, unverified, anonymous, or admin).
Contribution information: Columns D-G provide contribution details such as the contribution date, the question asked in the Quick Poll, the answer the participant submitted, and the user’s screen name or whether it was an Anonymous User.
Signup Questions: Columns I and onwards contain each question in your Signup Form and your users' answers. We provide this information so you can filter your submissions using demographic data. Please note that this information is only available if a contributor is registered and logged in when they submit.
