Add report labels for questions and answers in QuestionPro surveys

Often researchers, while conducting online surveys, use descriptive questions and answers. It helps them to carry out an in-depth analysis of the research topic. Sometimes the question or answer text they use is pretty long. However, when they want to analyze the results of their research product, they find the analytic reports are not so good looking. Due to the limit of characters, a survey legend displays often the long text is broken and does not makes sense. Labeling questions and answers according to their understanding, is a solution that helps in making survey reports look excellent and meaningful.

Update report labels in QuestionPro Surveys

In online surveys, ‘labeling’ somehow has much importance. It can be labeling questions, labeling answers, or labeling survey reports. Although researchers are aware of survey labeling, not many of them give it a thought. Constraints in the online survey software or complicacy in updating the labels are few known reasons why researchers are less interested in updating the question, answer, or report labels in their surveys.

At QuestionPro, we do provide an option to label questions and answers. Labeling the questions and answers in an analytics report makes data classification easier and also helps in providing meaningful reports and charts.

Recently we had a growing demand from researchers to introduce report labels for the question and answer text. Researchers using very long answer text in their surveys faced a problem while analyzing the data. The chart legends in the analytic dashboard took a lot of space on the widget, making it look bad and difficult to read.
