Import and export responses

Project managers, assistants and administrators can import responses from a CSV file or from paper questionnaires as well as having the ability to export the raw response data and response analytics data. Accessed by choosing to Manage a published or expired project Responses also serves as a method of backing up project results.

THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT RESPONSES

CSV and Excel files must be less than 30 MB to import into Blue. Larger files must be split up into multiple imports.
Responses that are imported from raters that were not invited to the project will be included in reports, but they cannot be managed in task management.
When using the export feature, Blue obtains responses from tasks. Therefore, if there are no tasks in the project, or if responses were imported and not tied to a task, they will not be included in the response export.

Export Responses

Export Legend

The structure of the exported response data is dependent on the project, questionnaire, rater, etc., so the legend is a CSV file that provides details on the questions and their possible responses, group names, subjects and other details found in the exported response data.

Export Analytics

Analytics data for all of the Fillout responses can be downloaded as a CSV file for further analysis. Learn more about Blue Analytics.

Other Transactions

Additional transactions that can be performed:

Rollback to auto-backup - Blue automatically takes a snapshot of the results before importing new responses. This feature allows the project to be restored to its previous state before the last import.

IMPORTANT

Any responses collected since the last automatic update will be discarded from the project when rolled back. Rolling back cannot be undone unless an offline backup exists. Blue only maintains one backup point for recovery, if additional backups are desired, manually export the response data.

Delete unidentified responses - discard all responses that do not identify the rater.
Update Location Analytics - updates all responses for this project with the most current location information available in the XML file.
