Hide a report block based on response count

Report Blocks can be hidden based on question response counts through the use of triggers and response thresholds.

Create a report trigger based on the number of responses to a question

IMPORTANT

Report blocks can be hidden by default. The process described below requires that the questions you will be hiding must have enabled the Hidden by Default feature, that is located in the report block settings.

Go to Reports and select the report you wish to modify
Navigate to Content - Triggers
Select Add Trigger
Enter a Trigger Name, e.g., "Hide RC < 5"
In the Trigger Condition Type drop-down list, select Response Threshold
Select Add New Filter
Select a Question from the drop-down list that you wish to apply the trigger to
Enter the Minimum response threshold, a value that will determine how many responses are required before the trigger is activated
Select Apply
Select Add To List
From the Trigger List, select Action next to the trigger just created
Choose which block(s) will be displayed or hidden once the minimum response threshold is met by selecting
- Yes - report block will be hidden until the response count meets the threshold value
- No - report block will never be displayed (not recommended)
- N/A - condition will not be applied to this report block
After setting the blocks to show or hide, select Apply
Save Report. The next time the report is generated the trigger will be applied.

NOTE

For more information on configuring report triggers, consult the following topic: Report triggers.

BEST PRACTICE

Use Virtual questions to breakdown a single selection table into separate questions to allow for more flexibility in creating trigger conditions and actions. For more information on Virtual questions, consult the following topic: Create virtual questions for reports.
