When you need the same survey results split into many views, building reports one by one quickly becomes busywork. Multiple Reports lets you generate a full set of reports automatically, based on how you choose to structure your data.
You set it up once, then the platform creates and maintains separate reports for each group you want to report on.
How to create multiple reports
To create multiple reports in Survey Automator:
1. Go to Dashboard → click the cogwheel → select Multiple Reports.
2. Select the variable you want to generate reports for (for example Location or Department). Survey Automator will create one report per category and category children.
3. Once the reports are created, use the header dropdown to switch between views. You can change which category you’re looking at (for example a specific region) directly from there, without rebuilding anything.
Organize your reporting with a Category Tree
A Category Tree is simply a way to group results in levels.
Example category levels could be:
● Location
● Department
● Customer segment
● Brand
● Partner / reseller
● Any tag or grouping you use in your project
Once the tree exists, you can reuse it whenever you need reporting split the same way.
Generate reports for a whole level
Multiple Reports creates one report per category on the level you choose.
Example:
● Choose the “Location” level
● The platform creates one report per location
● Each report only shows data for that location
Same idea works for any other level you define.
Set a minimum response threshold
When you generate a lot of reports at once, some groups will always be small. With Multiple Reports you can set a minimum response threshold, so a report is only created when there are enough answers to make the results meaningful. This keeps the report set clean, avoids thin “empty” reports, and helps protect confidentiality in small groups.
Compare groups without extra setup
Multiple Reports can also help with comparisons.
● Compare categories on the same level (example: Segment A vs Segment B)
● Compare a parent category with its children (example: Region total vs each location)
When Multiple Reports is a good fit
This feature is useful if you:
● Deliver results to many different audiences
● Want consistent reporting across groups
● Need to scale reporting without extra manual work
● Expect your structure to grow over time
With Multiple Reports, you set the structure once and generate consistent reporting for every group you need—inside one platform.
