Survey Results Export Format

When a participant completes a survey, it generates a Survey Result. Each survey result contains multiple step results (corresponding to each step of the survey), and each step result can contain multiple child results (answers to questions, results produced by active tasks, etc.). In some cases (e.g., instruction steps, or if a step was skipped)—a step result may not have any child results.

Survey Result Component Data

In the CSV export, multiple data files are produced for survey results for the different survey result components, with keys that can be used for cross referencing. In the JSON export, all of the results are contained in a single file and data structure. Deleted survey results will always be contained in a distinct file in both CSV and JSON format.

For more information about how to cross-reference data across the different survey result components, see Export File Type and Format Summary. For more information about the other components, see the following topics:
