As with all data in your Surveys & Pulses Analytics, completed surveys will be reflected in the count shown in the Response Rate report within one minute of submission.
Edit Participant Demographics
For reporting purposes, you can update a user's demographics from the Response Rate report.
Any updates made to a user's demographics are only reflected in the current survey's reporting, updates to a user's demographic do not affect a user's demographics in other surveys, nor their demographics according to their profile.
For example, consider a user who has their location updated from Dallas to Boston. The reporting for the current survey will reflect the user's new Boston location. However, every other survey will continue to list the user with the Dallas location demographic. Additionally, their location according to their profile will continue to list Dallas.
To edit a user's demographics for the current survey's reporting:
- In the Invited Participants card, click Edit Participant Demographics
- Click the user's corresponding edit icon (Figure A)
- Update the necessary fields
- Click the save icon to finalize demographic updates for the user (Figure B)
- Click Back to Response Rate to return to the previous page
