Adding banners to modern report crosstabs

Use banners to compare results from different segments in the same view.

Banners enable you to answer questions about your data by viewing a crosstab report that groups your results by one or more segments, or categories. For example, you may reveal insights in your report by segmenting each question's responses by gender.

Note: Subgroups in standard reporting offer similar insights to banners, but present the results in a different format. Banners provide a more compact way of viewing results. This makes it easier for you to see similarities and contrasts in the results.

Banners are defined using answers to survey questions or profile variables.

The following survey question types and response data fields, which are automatically added to all surveys, are supported:

  • Single Choice
  • Multiple Choice
  • Rating
  • Display Type (Response Data)
  • Respondent Locale (Response Data)
  • Response Status (Response Data)
  • Dataset Type (Response Data)

The following profile variable types are supported:

  • Single Choice
  • Multiple Choice

Nested banners

You can use nested banners to segment each crosstab into multiple levels. You can add one or two nested banners under a top-level banner. This enables you to examine the results for multiple questions or profile variables simultaneously.

Example: A crosstab with a nested banner

You have a survey where the questions are displayed in crosstabs segmented by gender. You want to drill-down into your data and also view each gender segmented by age group.

  1. Open your modern report and, in the report toolbar, click Banners.
  2. Click + Add a Nested Field.
  3. Select the Age field and click Add.

    The Age field is added as a nested banner under the Gender field.

  4. Click Preview and verify that the banners are displayed as you expect.
