You can compare the results of two surveys in a Heatmap - this lets you see how responses to the same questions change over time.
A few notes about comparing Surveys:
- a Survey Heatmap only shows scorable questions so these are the only questions that can be compared
- to compare a question between two Surveys it must be an exact match (Eg both the question-type and how the question is worded must be the same)
- if there are no matching questions or scorable questions, the report will simply show a comparison of the Response Rates between the Surveys
- to protect anonymity there must be at least 4x responses to a question before it can be unlocked & compared (Learn more about locked responses & anonymity here
- you can compare a maximum of two surveys at the same time
How to compare two Surveys
- Select Heatmaps from the side navigation
- Choose an existing Survey Heatmap or create a new one
* if you have a matching survey that was previously run this can be set in the Heatmap editor - Once the report is open, select a survey from the Compare to dropdown list
- Get comparing
Compare to
The Compare to can be used in two ways:
- Compare results from different time periods: If you have a survey that is always open you can compare submissions made in January with submissions made in Febuary.
- Compare results to the Entire Organisation: You can view the changes in Teamgage results across your heatmap in relation to the Entire Organisation's results. Please contact support@teamgage.com if you would like this feature enabled.
Change scores
As you compare different questions & different teams you'll notice a few different icons across your Heatmap. Here's what they mean:
- Score change: the small (+) or (-) figure indicates the whether the question's score has gone up or down between the surveys
- No change: a dash indicates there's been no change between the two Surveys; basically the score has stayed the same
- Responses locked: if all you see is a grey box with a padlock, this means the responses are currently locked as there's been less than 4x responses
- Comparison Survey locked: If there is a score, but there is a small padlock alongside the score, this means the responses for the comparison survey are currently locked as there have been less than 4x responses.
