Types of Exports

Individual responses

Individual responses exports let you see how each respondent answered the survey. This export type is also good if you want raw data to create charts or do analysis on your own.

If your survey uses skip logic or randomization, you may see Page Order variables in your responses data exports. These variables ensure respondents are served the correct pages in the right sequence if they leave and return to the survey. They are not intended for data analysis. Because this information is only required while a survey is in progress, the system automatically clears these values once a respondent completes the survey. Consequently, you will only see page order data for incomplete responses.
