View Results

There are three ways to view results:

• List: List of survey responses based on who submitted the response and when. No response data is visible.
• Table: Survey response data viewable in a table. Only data you have permission to see will be visible, with private data hidden from non-admins.
• Raw: Survey responses visible as a json.

Download Results

• Select EXPORT RESULTS from the upper right of the results page.
• There are numerous download settings available:
  • Format: Results can be downloaded as a csv or json file.
  • Range: You can also choose to download all of the data or just a subset of the data based on filters or just downloading the active page.
  • Matrix Answers: Matrix question types have a complex results structure that doesn't easily map to a spreadsheet. They are essentially a table within a single cell. For this reason, when downloading survey results, you have several options depending on how you need to deal with your data (see special note below).
• After choosing your download settings, select DOWNLOAD.
• You can also copy the API link which can be used to integrate SurveyStack data into a data pipeline or acquire the data in a more flexible way.
• SPECIAL NOTE FOR MATRIX QUESTION TYPES: The export results menu has multiple options relevant to matrices.
  • Selecting add a row for each matrix answer from Matrix answers will simplify the data into the flattest possible spreadsheet (only available for the CSV format. This will expand each row containing a matrix into several rows, instead of 1 submission = 1 row, and you will get a table that's easy to work with.
  • Selecting Keep matrix answers in a single cell from Matrix answers will encode the matrices as json text inside single cells, while the rest of the data is translated to the CSV in a straightforward way.
  • If you want maximum flexibility, you can get a JSON file in the exact format SurveyStack uses for storage, which you can process in any programming language/data environment you intend to use as needed.
