To provide our clients with timely information on their projects, we have developed the Track & Field dynamic reporting tool (DRT). Track & Field includes two levels of access:
• A survey overview page that allows clients to log in and view real-time survey statistics on projects in field (e.g. completions and refusals to date); and
• A customized DRT that allows authorized clients to log in and generate, view, and download real-time graphical reports on their surveys.
The survey overview tool is provided to all clients at no additional cost as part of our survey service. The DRT is customized for each client’s unique needs so has minimal additional cost depending on the analyses and reports required, as well as the number of user access levels. (In some studies, some users will have access to all data while other users will have access to only a segment of the data, such as the data for their region or facility.)
Our DRTs have included a variety of report generation functions, including the following:
• Calculate priority metrics, both for a single data collection period and over time;
• Explore individual questions’ responses in depth (e.g. number of respondents, response distribution);
• Develop custom response distribution tables by filtering data by characteristics of interest;
• Compare two questions side by side;
• Review open-ended comments, both in their provided format and using theme categorization; and
• Create weighted or unweighted trending charts to view longitudinal data.
