Restrict Reporting to Specific Survey Questions

Within the Report Setup, this feature is designed to specify a subset of specific questions (from the main survey and/or any targeted surveys added to the project) that should be accessible to administrators, instructors, and/or TAs. This feature can be used to restrict access to specific survey questions in results for administrators, instructors, and/or teaching assistants. The default setting is no restrictions to specific survey questions.  NOTE: Report Builder 2.0 does not restrict questions based on this setting.

1. Select the Administrator, Instructor, or TA role.
2. Select only the questions you wish for this user role to have access to in results. Any survey questions that are not selected will not appear on the reports for that role.
3. Click Save.
4. To review what you have selected, select the role and click on the question dropdown.
5. Repeat Steps 2 - 4 for additional roles in which you wish to restrict reporting.

2. Select the specific question(s) to include in the chart.

Benchmark Data for Course-level Reports

Create up to three benchmarks to be included in course-level reports against other levels in your hierarchy, for instance you can create a departmental benchmark or a university/college benchmark. The steps on how to create a benchmark are outlined below: 

NOTE: 

 As a project-level setting, the benchmarks will only include courses in the same project that align to the hierarchy level(s) selected.

1. Use the dropdown menu to select the level of your hierarchy where you want the benchmark data to be aggregated.  You can view your hierarchy by navigating to Account > Hierarchy Builder.

Selecting the level in the dropdown menu corresponds to the level in your hierarchy:

2. Give the benchmark a label.  For example, you might label level 1 as University Level, level 2 as College Level, and level 3 as Department Level.  Be sure to choose labels that will make sense to the report viewers at your organization.

3. Click Save.

 

Performance Flags

Used to highlight mean scores for survey questions with specific values, you can set these colored flags to highlight ranges of mean values within your report. You can create multiple mean value ranges for a batch of questions, or individually. Performance Flags only appear in the Detailed Report and Detailed Report + Comments, either course level or aggregated results.
