Can't Export Responses

Raw data from survey responses can be exported as csv, native SPSS, and csv compatible SPSS (some plan limits apply). This user guide demonstrates the steps taken to export survey response data from your Checkbox account.

1. From the survey dashboard or survey editor, click the Analyze -> Responses -> Export Responses.

NOTE: You can also choose Quick Export, which will bypass all the following steps by using your default export settings found under System Settings -> Report Settings -> Response Export. You can use this one-click export method if you don’t need to change any of the options that are described in the following steps.
