Introduction

Extended Filters

Extended filters are unique feature that will allow us to apply filters based on text entries answers given by respondents.

Extended filters are available when you have marked at least one Answer Item to act as an extended filter.

Once you have marked an answer item you will be able to select, from a dropdown list that contains all respondent text answers, the one that you want to use as a filter for your results.

As an example we could use the extended filters features along with the Xml - Country type to create geographic / demographic filters that will allows us to filter our report based on countries selected by the respondents.

Here is how the extended filters would look like with the example above.

As you can see we can choose to set a filter based on "live" respondent's answers. Here we have set country and region to act as an extended filter. If we would set these filters the report would show all respondents answers from whom answered CH to country and Geneva to region.

We could have as many extended filters as we want. Each answer filter will be populated according to the other selections, the group of all filters must represent a valid combination of at least one respondent.

As extended filters are based on respondents answers it is highly recommended to create and apply the filters once you have finished the survey as this will give us the widest choice of filters available.
