The Trend Analysis module allows you to plot aggregated response data over time. Analyzing trends is useful in detecting patterns in survey responses that could lead to future quality problems, and in forecasting future demand periods.
Grouping analysis gives you the ability to segment your data for analysis based on one or more survey responses. Enabling filters on your data offers the capability to analyze data based on gender or age for example.
Banner tables allow you to visualize and view your data relative to a single question. For example, if in your survey, one of the questions is "Where are you from?" - You can see how different users responded to all the questions in your survey, based on that question.
Total Unduplicated Reach and Frequency Analysis is used to identify a subset of items that, when taken together, maximizes the net level of consumer interest in a superset of choices. Example: you've just tested consumer interest in 10 proposed new ice cream flavors but marketing constraints only allow you to introduce three flavors. TURF can identify the three flavors that, taken together, generate the highest net level of interest for the total line.
Survey Analyzer / Dropout Analysis
With the Dropout Analysis option, you can dive into your drop-out rates (users not completing the survey.) The dropout analysis takes a look at all the users who have not completed the survey and gives you a snapshot view of where they "dropped out" ie. the last question they completed successfully.
Fundamentally Gap Analysis is a very simple concept. For each attribute, the difference between the expectation and delivery is measured and sorted from highest to lowest. It effectively highlights the attributes you need to focus on.
Data and System Integration Tools
The Report Scheduler is a recurring and automated interface to automatically email reports on a periodic basis. Typically this is used in a long running survey (transactional surveys) where you have a continuous data collection stream.
The Automated FTP Upload option allows you to receive periodic "data dumps" or reports that SurveyAnalytics generates for any of your surveys to be uploaded to an FTP Server of your choice.
Action Alerts enable you to be notified immediately when someone answers in a particular way to your questions in your survey. For example, if you had a "Satisfaction" question and you would like send out an email to your Customer Service Manager, every time someone chooses a low satisfaction score you could use the Decision Support System to do this.
Import data already collected (via other means) into the system for TURF Analysis.
