Report
There are up to two reports to help you analyse your organisation’s results. The NISCI report is always available and the optional Comments report is available if you opted to add open-ended questions in the set-up. You can apply filters to your report to look at a specific area in more detail. You can view the filter information underneath the Run report and Run comments buttons.
Please note: you will need a minimum of 10 responses to run a report. Until then the report will be unavailable.
Run report
Click on the Run report button to run your NISCI report.
You can run your report as many times as you like, including while you are still collecting responses. Each report you run will reflect the data received at the time of running, along with any filters that are applied.
Reports will open in a new window and can take up to 1-2 minutes to run. If it takes longer than 30 seconds to run your report, you’ll be shown a message explaining that your request is being dealt with, and the system will continue to generate your report in the background. If this happens, please wait another 1-2 minutes, then click on Run report again to view your report.
Run comments
Click on the Run comments button to generate a report of responses to the open-ended questions that you added to your survey.
This report is only available if you have included a comments question in the original set-up.
Apply filters
By default, the report will contain all data collected in your survey, but you can apply a filter to create filtered versions of your report. For example, you can run a report for a specific site or work area.
You can view the filter information underneath the Run report and Run comments buttons.
To remove any filters currently applied to the report, select Clear all filters.
