Open-end numeric tile display options

To access display options for open-end numeric tiles in a Topline report, click the Gear icon in the tile's title bar and select Display As.

Display As

There are four display formats for open-end numeric question types - Descriptives, Density Chart, Histogram Chart, or Bar Chart.

Descriptives 

Open-end numeric tiles default to the Descriptives view. This display option provides an overview of commonly used statistics related to that question's responses, starting with the Average (mean), Median (middle value when listed in order), and Mode (most frequent value). Next the Min., 25th Percentile, 75th Percentile, and Max. are listed, values that are all used to create box-and-whiskers charts. The Standard Deviation (Std. Dev.) and Variance are included as well.

When exported to an Excel file, these values may then be copied and pasted to other files as needed. Both a table of the values and a copy of the tile are included in the Excel file.

Density chart

This display type uses R to plot a density chart and create an SVG visualization of the results.

Histogram chart

This display type groups the data into potentially useful ranges of integers to construct a histogram graph.

Histogram charts add an additional submenu option to the tile menu, Bins. For more information on these options, see below.

Bar chart

This display type will show a single bar with the number of collected records. Bar charts default to displaying the average response value as indicated in the upper right hand corner of the tile.

To display a value other than the average, select Gear > Bars, then choose another display option. See Bars below for more information.

Additional options
