There are two ways to report on survey response on accessplanit:

• The Legacy 'Custom Forms' report wizard
• A report in Report Writer

There are positives and negatives for each option, so it's worth weighing these up first:

Legacy - Pro	Legacy - Con	Report Writer - Pro	Report Writer - Con
It is ready to run, it doesn't need to be built	It can't be customised	The output is customisable as you have access to the raw survey data	There is a lot of work involved in setting up the report
It includes a lot of calculations and is powerful	It can't be scheduled to send automatically from accessplanit	It can be scheduled to automatically send out from accessplanit	Only available for users with the Report Writer module
It is interactive, so you can have overviews as well as being able to click into each course and delegate	Exporting free text responses can't be done with certain file formats	You can add more filter options

Using Report Writer to report on survey submissions

Here are a few use cases where Report Writer has been used:

• Showing a summary table of response rates and times in the same report as the questions and answers
• Showing free text responses along with percentages and scores in the same report
• Showing multiple full survey submissions in the same report, for easier side by side comparisons
• Linking more information about each delegate as a user into the report, such as Email Address, Account, Account Group, etc.
• Multiple graphs based on the survey results
• Showing results from multiple different surveys in the same report
