Jump to 'How to download or export contributions 'data for offline use'
When you export contributions data from your dashboard, the output will be in a comma-separated values (CSV) format, and in there you will find the contributions made by respondents. The CSV export allows you to dive deep into the contributions data to analyse the data collected and displayed in a tabular format, and this CSV file is accessible offline.
By default, you will be able to download and access all the data in the contributions table on the dashboard. However, this export will adhere to the filters you apply. In addition, you can choose to include or exclude respondents’ data from your export.
How to download or export contributions data for offline use.
- Log into the dashboard
- Click on the Contributions tab on the side menu located at the left hand side of the dashboard page
If you would like to download data report from a specific proposal or tile from the Contributions page, you can select your desired tile as shown in the image below
Click on Export to download the contributions data report in the dashboard.
You can choose to use the export structure:
“I prefer multiple choice answers in multiple columns…” which means when you download your data report, you want answers to questions with multiple choices (like a text poll question) to show up in separate cells and columns.
OR
“I prefer multiple choice answers in one column…” which means that when you download your data report, you want responses to questions with multiple choice options (like a text poll question) to show in the same cell under one column with each response separated by a comma. Please keep in mind that the survey question is represented by the column header.
You can choose to include respondents data in your offline report by ticking the checkbox or exclude respondents data by unticking the checkbox shown in the image below
When you have selected your preferred option, click on the Download button.
You will receive an email notification similar to the image below with a download link to download your report. Click on the link to download the offline report in CSV format.
Please note that the download link is available for 7 days before it expires.
That’s it! You’re all done! 🎉🎉🎉
