Comparing Survey Results

Comparing Survey Results

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
  1. a Survey Heatmap only shows scorable questions so these are the only questions that can be compared   
  2. 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
  3. if there are no matching questions or scorable questions, the report will simply show a comparison of the Response Rates between the Surveys  
  4. 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 
  5. you can compare a maximum of two surveys at the same time

Compare to

The Compare to can be used in two ways:
  1. 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.
  2. 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:
  1. Score change: the small (+) or (-) figure indicates the whether the question's score has gone up or down between the surveys   
  2. No change: a dash indicates there's been no change between the two Surveys; basically the score has stayed the same
  3. 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
  4. 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.
