Trend data
If you create a new survey do you lose trend data even if some questions are the same?

Feb 27, 2024Hello, if you create a new survey cycle within the same survey program, you will see trend data for each repeat question that is asked. If you have the same question in different programs, you will not see trend across the programs directly within the dashboard. As example, if you ask "how happy are you at..." on your Engagement survey as well as an Onboarding survey, you will only see trend for the specific program and not across the multiple programs. I hope this helps, but please let us know if you have additional questions.
- emma_606Mar 01, 2024Copper ContributorHi, would the above apply to scenarios of 2 engagement surveys?

Hello, trend applies to any similar question within the same survey program. If you have a quarterly engagement program and you ask the same question set for each quarterly cycle then trend would apply. If you have two entirely separate engagement programs where the same questions are asked, you would not see trend directly on the dashboard reports. In this scenario, you would need to toggle to each survey program separately and compare the results/trend scores outside of a single dashboard report.
Example:
- Quarterly engagement "program" (4 survey "cycles" each year):
- February 2024 cycle
- May Cycle 2024 cycle
- August 2024 cycle
- December 2024 cycle
- February 2025 cycle
- Ongoing cycles............
- Note: each time a question is repeated within the above cycles of the same program, trend would appear on the dashboard for this program
- The cycles do not need to be in consecutive order. If a question was asked in Feb. and not again until December, trend would still appear on the December cycle. In this example, the scores would appear for the December survey cycle and the trend data would be looking at the Feb. survey.
I hope this helps to provide clarity but let me know if you have additional questions.
- emma_606Mar 01, 2024Copper Contributorsorry i should have been more explicit, so i mean in scenario you run 2024 cycles but then in 2025 want to create new survey with slight tweaks to questions. It won't pull trend data from 2024 into 2025 new engagement survey?
