What are filters?
Filters allow you to drill down into your data by creating reports for certain groups. Additionally, if you have two filter sets you can compare groups results against each other. There are no limits on how many filters you can use, for example you can look at the data for' 18-16 year old, males, from Practice 'X'.
Most filters are sourced from the data in the recipient list that is provided to Cemplicity to send out the survey invitation. Other filters are sourced from answers that the respondents have given in the survey.
For some users, a filter is automatically set to their specific service or facility so that when the user logs in they will only see data that is relevant to them. This is called the ‘Preset Filter’ and it cannot be removed.
If you have no filters applied to your report then data in view is that of the aggregate data set in the time period. NOTE: If you want to see all data, do not apply all filters, as by default all data will be shown.
How to use filters?
(double click the video to expand it to full screen)
Your filter panel can be found by clicking on Filters in the top right hand corner of your reports.
2. To see the data for a specific group just click the filter category and select the filters desired. You can select as many filters as needed. Once selected, these will be highlighted in blue.
Note: If you have two filter sets you can compare data against two groups at the same time.
3. Once your filters are all selected, click Apply to build the report for the selected filters. Alternatively, you can click on the Filters button to collapse the panel and the filters will be applied.
4. Click your Filters button to collapse your filter panel, creating more room for your report. Your selected filters will now show on your report, and the number of filters selected will be highlighted next to the filters button.
NOTE: When you apply a filter it will stay in place as you go from report to report, until you remove it.
Removing filters
There are three simple ways to remove a filter:
Click on the filter category you want to edit and deselect the options you no longer want to view, then click Apply
Click the "Clear Filters" button and then click Apply
OR click the cross icon on the filter label that you want to remove
Two filter sets
To add a second filter set where possible, click on the 'Add filter set' button. This will allow you to compare the survey results between selected demographics, service groups and locations.
Alternatively, the 'clone' button can be clicked so that the chosen filters in Filter Set 1 are copied into Filter Set 2.
NOTE: In stacked column graphs, Filter Set 1 data will be in the left bar whilst Filter Set 2 will be in the right.
