1 - PANELS


Purpose of panels

• Panels allow you to get quick insight into the survey results

• They are not a substitute for an analysis tool such as SAS, Excel or a GIS

• Data can be shown at a whole of of survey level, for example a table showing all records and all questions, or as a single question optionally grouped by another question


Managing Panels

• Panel Actions– Adding– Re-sizing– Moving– Editing– Adding to a report– Deleting

• Beware of!– Too many table panels

• If you have large surveys with thousands of records and hundreds of columns then drawing these as tables in the browser can take some time. In these cases it is a good idea to only have one large table panel at any one time.

Panel Types

• There are 4 types of panels– Graph

• Show the results of a question

– Table– Map– Media

• Show the pictures, audio and videos from a survey


Change Data View - Sidebar Information

• At the top right of each panel is an icon “<“• This opens a sidebar that lets you manipulate the

panel data• On a table survey view you can select which of the

survey forms to show (Each “Begin Repeat” starts a new form)

• For a graph or map it allows you to select the options to show from a select_one or select_multiple


Exercise: Create a “Whole of survey” panel

• Add Panel• Select panel type of graph, table, media, map– Graphs can only be used with questions

• Specify a title• Select the survey• Save• Delete your panel


Graph and Table “Question” panels

• Edit the panel that you previously created• Select panel type of graph, table, media– Media panels only work with the whole of survey

• Update the title• Select a question• Save


Exercise: Group By

• Graphs and Table panels can show a Question grouped by another question, for example– Problems faced grouped by gender– Average age grouped by marital status

• Maps can show a question grouped by regions– These region files need to be pre-loaded or can be

generated (see next section)


4 – EXPORTING RESULTS

Basic


Surveys with Repeating Groups

This survey has 1) a repeating group to get information of all the household members 2) a second repeating group to get information on the vehicles that the household hasThen for each vehicle there is another repeating group to get all the faults for that vehicle

Including Question Text in Exported Results

• When exporting to XLS or CSV format, you can include the question and option labels in the column headings

• Choose the language you want to use in the export dialog

• If you leave the language as “none” then the question / option labels will not be included in the spreadsheet


5 - REPORTS

Basic


Creating a report - 1

• Each report has a single “item” from a survey attached to it, one of:– A picture, audio file, video file– A graph– A table– A map

• To create the report you select one of these items– For picture, audio, video; right click on the item– For graph, table, map; left click on the “up arrow” at the

top of the panel


Creating a report - 2

Fill in the report details and click “Save”. If there are location questions in the survey then the area covered by the report is filled in automatically. Otherwise update by pressing shift and dragging with the mouse across the map.


Publishing a report - 1

• Creating a report does not make it available to other people. You need to send them a link to the report.

• This can be done in several ways:– Sending an email– Embedding in a Wordpress blog– Sending a tweet– Posting to a Facebook group

• First select the “Reports” menu option in the Analysis module


Publishing a report – 2 Filtering reports

• The report list can be filtered by time or region– Drag the end points of the timeline at the top of the page

to change the reports that are shown– Select a region of the map to change the reports shown


Viewing a report

• The report link that is published by email or Facebook shows the report on a web page

• There are 2 menu buttons on this web page that the viewer can select to export the report into– MS Word– MS Excel


Reports and Security

• A password is not required to access a report• However the link to the report contains a long

random set of characters– 1154d8c0-0984-4513-aabd-f863cef2b812

• Hence the need to publish a report as these characters can’t be guessed

• So reports are secure until they are published, then anyone who is given the link can view the report


Exercise: Reports

• Create a report containing– Tables– Graphs– Photos– maps

• Email the report


2 – ADVANCED MAPS

Advanced

Tech Tip – Map Zooming

Shift and drag with the mouse

This will zoom to the rectangle that you mark with your mouse


Adding more layers to a map

• When you create the map you can chose to show the results layer on a different map panel

• The panel that is providing the data will be minimised and colored dark grey in the management sidebar

• You can edit the settings by clicking un-minimise, change the settings and then minimise again


Create a Hex Grid for Aggregation - 1

1) Select Administration then Monitoring2) Show as Map3) Select Create Grid



• Fill in the details for the hex grid• Make sure the name has no

spaces and is in lower case• Use the mouse to select the

center one cell in the grid• Also use the mouse to select the

boundaries of the grid by pressing the shift key

• Make sure the cell width is reasonable relative to the overall grid size or it will take a long time to generate the grid



The grid that is generated can be used to aggregate data in an analysis map panel


Exercise: Grouping on Maps

• Create a hex grid in Administration | Monitoring• Group map data by this grid


Using OCHA icons on a map - 1

• You may want to collect data on things and people that have an OCHA icon assigned to them

• For example

• These icons can be shown on a map at the location the data was collected


Using OCHA icons on a map – 2 – Specify Survey

• Available names are listed in this file https://smap-suite.googlecode.com/files/ocha%20symbols.txt

• For example:

https://smap-suite.googlecode.com/files/ocha%20symbols.txt

https://smap-suite.googlecode.com/files/ocha%20symbols.txt


Using OCHA icons on a map – 3 – Show Map

• Create a map panel• Choose the select_one question that collected the

OCHA icon value• Specify the question function as “OCHA Icons”• Save


3 – AMENDING DATA AFTER COLLECTION

Advanced


Discarding results

• Individual survey instances can be discarded if they are not valid• Create a whole of survey table panel• You will see a column that is colored green and labeled “_bad”• Right click with your mouse in that column on the survey instance

that you want to discard.• Enter a reason• The color of the cell will change to red• This survey instance will now not appear in exported results or be

used for question level analysis on the server, for example in graphs

• You can re-enable this survey instance by repeating the above steps which will toggle the instance status back to “good”
