Voting Task Analytics – Digsite
The voting task analytics view provides comprehensive insights into participant responses with proportional visualizations and key participation metrics. This interface displays voting patterns using neutral data presentation, allowing you to understand agreement levels and participation rates without bias.
View total respondents, overall agreement rates, and individual statement performance through clear visual indicators that show the proportion of support for each voting item in your study.
At the top of the analytics view, you'll find three key metrics that provide context for your voting results:
- Total Respondents - The number of participants who completed the voting task
- Total Votes - The aggregate number of individual votes cast across all statements
- Agreement Rate - The overall percentage showing how often participants agreed across all voting items
These summary statistics help you quickly assess participation levels and general consensus patterns before diving into individual statement analysis.
Each statement displays comprehensive voting data through multiple indicators:
- Vote count - Shows the number of participants who voted on this specific statement
- Visual proportion bar - Displays the ratio of agreement using a neutral blue color scheme
- Agreement percentage - The exact percentage of participants who agreed with the statement
The proportional visualization makes it easy to compare support levels across different statements and identify patterns in participant responses.
Use the sorting options in the top-right corner to organize your results based on different criteria:
- Most downvotes first - Shows statements with the lowest agreement rates at the top
- Default item order - Displays results in the original order they appeared in your voting task
- Most upvotes first - Prioritizes statements with the highest agreement rates
These sorting options help you quickly identify consensus items, controversial statements, or maintain the original context of your voting sequence.
The analytics interface uses a neutral blue color scheme for all voting visualizations, avoiding traditional green/red associations that might imply positive or negative sentiment. This approach ensures:
- Unbiased data presentation that doesn't suggest value judgments
- Consistent visual treatment across all statements regardless of agreement levels
- Professional appearance suitable for stakeholder presentations
The proportional bars show agreement levels as factual data points, allowing you to draw your own conclusions about what high or low agreement means in your research context.
Monitor participation effectiveness by examining:
- Response consistency - Compare individual vote counts to total respondents to identify incomplete responses
- Engagement patterns - Look for statements with significantly different participation levels
- Overall completion rate - Use the total votes versus expected votes (respondents × statements) to gauge task completion
Variations in individual statement participation can indicate comprehension issues, technical problems, or varying levels of participant engagement with specific content.
The neutral presentation and clear metrics make voting task results ideal for stakeholder communication:
- Reference specific agreement percentages for quantitative reporting
- Use the visual proportions to quickly communicate relative support levels
- Cite participation metrics to establish credibility and context
- Sort results to highlight key findings or maintain original task flow
The unbiased color scheme and professional layout support objective data presentation in research reports and presentations.
