Below is a description of each of the dashboard features:

A. General Options (upper dashboard only)

C. Drilldown Variables (upper and left-hand dashboards)
Charts can be drilled-down (or broken down) by gender, grade, or any other demographic variable available. You can also break down the results using your School MCQ as a drill-down variable.

When selecting drill-down variables, your graphs can become quite complex and difficult to interpret visually. By clicking the drop-down tab beside a given drill-down variable, you may select or deselect specific sub-populations to tidy up the chart and focus on a specific group of students.

Did you know? As you drill down to smaller and smaller sub-populations, you may encounter data suppression put in place to protect the anonymity of survey takers. Click here for more information.

 

3. Add Charts to a Scrapbook
Interactive Charts can be added to your Scrapbook by clicking on the camera icon in the top right-hand corner of each chart. For more information on how to use the Scrapbook feature, see the How to Scrapbook article.
