Customize how answers are displayed in modern report tiles

You can customize the presentation of your modern report by merging answer options, relabeling answer text, sorting answers, and reordering answers.

You can customize how answers are displayed for the following question types:

• Single choice
• Multiple choice
• Single choice grid
• Multiple choice grid
• Rating
• Rank order

Open the modern report and make any of the following customizations to the answers in supported data tiles. You can combine any of these customizations, such as merging answers, and then renaming and reordering the new merged answer.

Note:

The "Did not answer" answer is available when you customize answers regardless of whether you choose to include or exclude "Did not answer" responses in your report. You can hide these answers to prevent them from showing up in charts and crosstabs.

Reorder answers

   A red line indicates where the answer will be inserted.
   
   
5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the answers are in the order you want.
6. Click Save.
   Note: The order you define is applied when charts and crosstabs are unsorted. If you sort the total values in the tile in ascending or descending order that sorting overrides your defined order. For more information, see Sorting visualizations by total values.

Merge or merge and append answers

4. Click the merge option you want to apply:
   • Merge: The answers are replaced by a single answer and prefixed with Merged:.

     For example, merging answers 1 and 2 results in a new answer labeled Merged: 2 OR 3. The original answers are no longer listed.

   • Merge and Append: The original answers remain unchanged, but a new answer labeled Merged appears at the bottom.

     For example, merging and appending answers 1 and 2 leaves these answers unchanged, and a new answer labeled Merged: 2 OR 3 is added to the bottom of the answer list.
