Analyze Your Results & Uncover Insights | Overview

Modified on Tue, 3 Jun at 1:57 PM

As participants complete events, our platform powered by AI analyzes the responses and delivers real-time reports as minimum reporting thresholds are met. Depending on your user role, you can access your listening event reports during the listening event or after it closes. (Results display only when the minimum response threshold for reporting is met.) 


This article walks through a high-level overview of the following and links out to the step-by-step of each:


Access the Advanced Reporting Tool

You can view preconfigured reports for all types of listening events using the Advanced Reporting tool, which you can access from the Analyze page.


  • If reporting has recently become available, the event will appear in the Report Eligible section.

  • If the report has been available for some time, it will appear in the All Reports section.

  • In some cases, a link to your most recent report may also be available directly from the Home page.


For more details on using the Analyze page, see the Analyze article.


Selecting a listening event with available reporting displays the Advanced Reporting tool, where you can explore your data in more detail.



Access from the Analyze Page


  1. Log in to the People Insights Platform.

  2. In the navigation bar, click Analyze.

  3. Use a report action button to access reporting for a specific listening event.

From the Report Eligible section:

  1. If a card for the event appears in the Report Eligible section, click Live Report or View Report at the bottom of the card.

From the All Reports section:

  1. Use the Search Listen Event feature to find and display the listening event in the table.

  2. Click Live Report or View Report for the listening event.

The Advanced Reporting tool opens.



Access from the Home Page

If the reporting for an event has recently become available, you may be able to access it from your Home page. 


  • If you’re an Admin or Creator user, the Recent section of the Home page displays your four most recent events (created, modified, launched, or closed). If reporting is available for one of those events, a Live Report or View Report button displays.


  • If you’re a Manager or HR user, the Your Latest Results section of the Home page displays your most recent available report and a View Report button. 


For more detailed information, see the Home Page article.


  1. Log in to the People Insights Platform.

  2. If necessary, navigate to the Home page.

  3. Access your report.

Admin or Creator User:

  1. In the Recent section, click Live Report or View Report for the applicable event.

Manager or HR User:

  1. In the Your Latest Results section, click View Report.



Advanced Reporting Tool Overview

The Advanced Reporting tool helps you view and understand your preconfigured reports. What you see in the tool differs somewhat for Perceptyx-led events and self-led events:


  • Perceptyx-Led Events

For Perceptyx-led events, Advanced Reporting includes a dashboard that provides visual insights and summaries. It also includes a side panel with one-click access to available reports. 


  • Self-Led Events

For self-led events, no dashboard displays. However, you still have full access to your preconfigured reports, which you can view, analyze, and download at any time.


Dashboard options and available reports vary based on the listening event type (Point-In-Time, Lifecycle, 360, or Crowdsource). 



Point-In-Time Listening Events

For Point-In-Time listening events, the Advanced Reporting tool layout is consistent across both Perceptyx-led and self-led events — with one key difference:

  • Perceptyx-led events include a visual results dashboard.

  • Self-led events do not include the dashboard, but all other functionality is the same.


In each case, the tool is divided into two main areas:


Left Panel

  • Displays a list of all available reports

  • Remains open as you navigate, unless manually collapsed using the arrow icon at the top


Main Display Area

  • For Perceptyx-led events, the dashboard is shown by default

  • For self-led events, one of the available reports is shown by default

  • In both cases, this area is where your dashboard or report content is displayed


The top-right section of the screen includes additional options to:

  • Filter data

  • Export the dashboard or reports

  • Access Help resources (the Knowledge Base or Customer Care)


Although the following example shows results for a Perceptyx-led event with a dashboard, all other features — including the left panel, report access, filtering, and export — are available for both Perceptyx-led and self-led events.




Role-Based Access

The information you see — including the available reports and dashboard content — may vary depending on your user role.


Most dashboards include a Response Rate widget, which shows the percentage of invitees who completed the event. To learn more about response rate insights, see the Response Rates article.


In some Perceptyx-led events, managers may see a Manager Toolkit available for download from the dashboard. This toolkit (available in PDF or PowerPoint format) is designed to help them share results with their teams. For information about sharing event results, see the Share Your Results article.



About Minimum Response Thresholds

If you see your manager’s results instead of your own team's results, it's likely that your team did not meet the minimum response threshold for viewing results. These thresholds ensure confidentiality. 


When thresholds aren’t met:

  • Results are automatically rolled up to the next level in the organization

  • For example, if the threshold is 5 and your team has only  4 responses, you will see rolled-up results



Report Types

The types of reports available depend on:

  • The questions included in the survey

  • Whether features like trending or action planning were enabled


Below are frequently used reports for Point-In-Time events, with links to full articles for each:


  • Favorability Report: Shows the percentage of participants who responded favorably or unfavorably, by question or category and includes tools for identifying gaps, viewing demographics, exploring trends (if enabled), and creating action plans (if enabled).


  • Comments Report: Offers insights into open-text responses. Search comments by theme or keyword, view word clouds, and explore comment "hot spots."


  • Hot Spot Report: Highlights areas where responses are significantly higher or lower than others, which is useful for identifying focus areas.



  • Comparison Reports:

    • Demographic Crosstab: Breaks down responses by demographics, enabling side-by-side comparison.

    • Benchmark Report: Compares question/category scores to internal or external benchmarks (when available).


  • Reference Reports:

    • Completion Report: Shows response rates broken down by demographic groups.

    • Demographic Profile: Displays the percentage of respondents by each available demographic category.

    • Survey Results: Offers a full view of every survey question and how participants responded, totaled and displayed in detail.


Note: You can export the dashboard content or an open report by clicking Export and then selecting Export PDF or Export Excel (only Export PDF is available for the dashboard). The content is exported in the selected format to your default download destination.


The videos below provide an overview of Point-In-Time manager reports for Perceptyx-led and self-led listening events.







Lifecycle Listening Events

For Lifecycle listening events, the Advanced Reporting tool layout is consistent across both Perceptyx-led and self-led events — with one key difference:

  • Perceptyx-led events include a visual results dashboard.

  • Self-led events do not include the dashboard, but all other functionality is the same.


In each case, the tool is divided into two main areas:


Left Panel

  • Displays a list of all available reports

  • Remains open as you navigate, unless manually collapsed using the arrow icon at the top


Main Display Area

  • For Perceptyx-led events, the dashboard is shown by default

  • For self-led events, one of the available reports is shown by default

  • In both cases, this area is where your dashboard or report content is displayed


The top-right section of the screen includes additional options to:

  • Filter data

  • Export the dashboard or reports

  • Access Help resources (the Knowledge Base or Customer Care)


Although the following example shows results for a Perceptyx-led event with a dashboard, all other features — including the left panel, report access, filtering, and export — are available for both Perceptyx-led and self-led events.




Role-Based Access

The information you see — including the available reports and dashboard content — may vary depending on your user role.


Most dashboards include a Response Rate widget, which shows the percentage of invitees who completed the event and the average completion time. To learn more about response rate insights, see the Response Rates article. Other dashboard widgets will vary based on the kind of lifecycle event (onboarding, exit, etc.).



Report Types

The types of reports available depend on:

  • The questions included in the survey

  • Whether features like trending or action planning were enabled


Below are frequently used reports for Lifecycle events, with links to full articles for each:

  • Favorability Report: Shows the percentage of participants who responded favorably or unfavorably, by question or category and includes tools for identifying gaps, viewing demographics, exploring trends (if enabled), and creating action plans (if enabled).


  • Comments Report: Offers insights into open-text responses. Search comments by theme or keyword, view word clouds, and explore comment "hot spots."

    • Benchmark Report: Compares question/category scores to internal or external benchmarks (when available).


  • Reference Reports:

    • Completion Report: Shows response rates broken down by demographic groups.

    • NPS Report: Shows the Net Promoter Score (% Promoters - % Detractors).

    • Demographic Profile: Displays the percentage of respondents by each available demographic category.

    • Survey Results: Offers a full view of every survey question and how participants responded, totaled and displayed in detail.


Note: You can export the dashboard content or an open report by clicking Export and then selecting Export PDF or Export Excel (only Export PDF is available for the dashboard). The content is exported in the selected format to your default download destination.



360 Listening Events

For Perceptyx-led 360 listening events, the Advanced Reporting dashboard layout is similar to that used in Point-In-Time and Lifecycle events. The dashboard is divided into two main areas:


Left Panel

  • Displays a list of available reports

  • Remains open as you navigate, unless manually collapsed using the arrow icon at the top


Main Display Area

  • The dashboard is shown by default

  • This is where dashboard or report content is displayed


The top-right section of the screen includes options to:

  • Filter data

  • Export the dashboard or reports

  • Access Help resources (the Knowledge Base or Customer Care)



Administrator Dashboard




Participant (Manager) Dashboard



Note: The reporting dashboard experience for self-led 360 listening events is separate from the experience for Perceptyx-led 360 events described above. For details, see the Participant Dashboard and Reports | 360 and Administrator Dashboard and Reports | 360 articles.



Role-Based Access

The data and reports available vary depending on your role:


  • Administrators can view aggregate results across all participants and filter by multiple demographics.

  • Participants see only their own results and can typically access a personal 360 report (PDF or PowerPoint), which helps them understand their feedback and consider next steps for development.


To learn more about participant and administrator views, see the Participant Dashboard and Reports | 360 and Administrator Dashboard and Reports | 360 articles.



Report Types

The list of reports in the left panel may vary depending on the event setup. However, most 360 events include:



  • Comments Report: Offers insights into open-text responses. For 360 events, the report does not include the Summary, Theme Co-Occurrence, Hot Spot, or Crosstab tabs.


  • Hot Spot Report (Admins Only): Highlights areas where responses are significantly higher or lower than others, which is useful for identifying focus areas.


  • Comparison Reports:

    • Demographic Crosstab (Admins Only): Breaks down responses by demographics, enabling side-by-side comparison.


  • Reference Reports:

    • Survey Results Report: Provides a detailed view of all survey questions and responses.


Note: You can export the dashboard content or an open report by clicking Export and then selecting Export PDF or Export Excel (only Export PDF is available for the dashboard). The content is exported in the selected format to your default download destination.


The videos below provide an overview of 360 manager reports for Perceptyx-led and self-led listening events.





Crowdsource Listening Events

For Crowdsource events, the results dashboard is divided into a left panel from which you can access your profile settings and help content, and the main area where the report information displays. The information and functionality you can access is determined by your role-based permissions.



Filtering functionality is built directly into the report. In various tabs and subtabs you can use the Compare Results feature to filter by available demographics. You can also export results. For more information, see the Crowdsource Reporting for Administrators and Crowdsource Reporting for People Leaders articles.



Filter Your Data

With Point-In-Time, Lifecycle, and 360 listening events, you can use the Filter Data feature to dig deeper into results and analyze results for specific segments of the respondents. Filters apply demographic variables to the results data; only the results that match your filter criteria display. 


After you create a filter, you can save it and retrieve it at any time. When you want to return to your full set of results, simply clear the filter. For more information, see the Filter Your Data article.


With Crowdsource listening events, you can use the Compare Results feature to filter results by available demographics. You can clear a filter using the Reset option. For more information, see the Crowdsource Reporting for Administrators and Crowdsource Reporting for People Leaders articles.
