Closed-end two-axis (summary) tile display options

Closed-end summary tiles are tiles that are included with "iterative" closed-ended questions with two-axes of data, such as tables or blocks where there are multiple variations of a particular question or set of questions. In the case of blocks, summary tiles are labeled as QX_ID or TX_ID, where "X" is the question ID. These tiles may be displayed as either bar charts or grids, and will show a breakdown of all options selected for each row element in a table or question the block was iterated over.

For example, the summary tile below, Q6A_ID, is for a block (Q6A_%%ID%%). Each iteration of the block will have its own tile - Q6A_1, Q6A_2, etc. - and the summary tile exists to show the combination of all ratings for each element in the list for which the block was iterated.

To configure a summary Topline tile, click the Gear icon in the tile's title bar.

This reveals a menu with nested options. These options are:

Display As
Chart	Displays respondent data graphically as a bar chart with table rows or the questions that drive a block as the Y-axis. This is the default option for tables.
Grid	Displays respondent data as a grid (or table), where counts/percents are displayed per question cell. This is the default option for blocks.
Chart Title
Default	The default chart title, as defined by the question text, row text (tables), or a `desc` tag if available. This is the default selection.
Custom	Allows users to specify custom text to use as the title. When selected, the Title text field appears, which allows the user to enter the new description.
Base
The Base* option is available for closed-end summary tiles when Display As > Chart is selected.*
Total Answering	Selecting this will display all survey data collected for this question (default).
Select Subset	Allows users to specify which options respondents had to select to be included in tile data.
Advanced	Allows entry of a custom filter, via the Expr text field, defined using IntelliSurvey syntax.
Bars
The Bars* option is available for closed-end summary tiles when Display As > Chart is selected.*
Clustered	Displays bars in "clusters," where each option is displayed as a separate bar for each question cell.
Stacked	Displays a single bar for each question cell. Options are displayed as fractions of the bar, which each section a different color for clarity.
Average	Displays the average of the option codes for each question cell (default).
Median	Displays the median option code value for each question cell.
Box (% of Base)	Displays values selected in this menu as a percentage of the selected base size for the whole tile.
Colors
The Colors* option is available for closed-end summary tiles when Display As > Chart is selected.*
Default	The default set of chart colors.
Custom	Allows for alternate colors to be specified in a text field. Acceptable inputs include basic color names (e.g., red, blue) or hex values ( #2F4F4F, #D3D3D3, etc.).
Help	Opens the Topline colors article in a new tab in the IntelliSurvey platform.
Options
The Options* option is available for closed-end summary tiles when Display As > Chart is selected.*
Show Label	Percentage - Shows values as percentages (default). Counts - Shows values as counts. None - Hides data bar labels.
Label Format	Decimals - Alters the number of decimal places to display in the labels, rounded to the place value specified in this option's text field. By default, labels are rounded to the nearest whole number. Prefix - Appends a specified prefix before the label's value. By default, any prefixes specified from the field/original question will be used unless this text field/option is utilized. Suffix - Appends a specified suffix after the label's value. By default, any suffixes specified from the field/original question will be used unless this text field/option is utilized. Show if ≥ - Establishes a minimum value under which a label will be hidden.
Show X-Axis	Turns on the display for the X-axis. The percent of total respondents is shown on this axis.
Show Label
The Show Label* option is available for closed-end summary tiles when Display As > Grid is selected.*
Percentages	Shows labels as percentages (default).
Counts	Shows values as counts.
Columns
The Columns* option is available for closed-end summary tiles when Display As > Grid is selected.*
Average	Adds a column displaying the average value for that row.
Box (% of Base)	Displays values selected in this menu as a percentage of the selected base size for the whole tile.
N Column	Adds a column displaying total N for that row.
Sort by Value	Sorts columns, with three options available: Off (default) Descend - Reorders columns from highest to lowest based on column totals. Ascend - Reorders columns from lowest to highest based on column totals.
Advanced	Two options available: Limit - Creates an upper bound for the total number of displayed columns. Pin - Specifies column codes that will always appear at the top of the column's order. Multiple codes may be entered and separated with a comma.

Packages	There are a great many configuration options available for Topline tiles. To make these options easier to manage, it is possible to save sets of option selections so that they may be recalled together. These groups of options are called packages.
Filter	To define a data cut that applies to a single tile only, use Filter. Different filters can apply to different tiles within a single Topline report, as opposed to the data cut defined by the Record Selector, which applies to every tile in a Topline Report.
Analyze
Compare By	Compare By is a tool that allows users to view data from a given question through the lens of Comparison Groups created from another question. The comparison groups create an additional axis of data which is used to create a graphical cross-tabulation between the original question and the selected Compare By question.
Conjoin Columns	For use with tiles/questions that utilize the same setlists; allows users to "add" one or more tiles' columns to another tile, combining the results in the tile from which the Conjoin Columns > Configure option was selected. The tiles that were combined with the original tile will be hidden until the conjoin is deselected/removed. Available for grids only.
Indexed Filters	Indexed filters are a type of data cut. They are designed to allow the comparison of like-for-like responses for different verticals with a single data cut. Rather than create a logical expression for each question row or question column in the Data Cuts applet and manually apply each one to its own Topline tile, an indexed filter can automate the process. It only requires a single expression to be written, and automatically tailors the expression to each column or row within the tile to which it is applied.
Quadrant Table	A quadrant table enables the visualization of two different metrics for a given set of elements, most commonly brands. This is accomplished by plotting each element in a two dimensional chart by using each of the metrics to establish the X and Y coordinates. The table is then divided in two along each axis, creating four quadrants. The point of division for each axis defaults to the average value of the data points collected on that axis, but can be modified. The result is a quadrant table.
Response Buckets	Buckets transform response options from the values defined in the survey source into different values for reporting purposes. These proxy values are defined in a survey spreadsheet, and the values only apply to the Topline summary tile for which the feature is enabled. Actual raw survey data is not modified. In addition to individual options, buckets also allow option ranges to be distilled into different numeric values, and those values may be positive or negative, exclusive or overlapping. The most common application of this feature is for NPS reporting.
Trend	Some studies are re-run multiple times and so gather data for the same fields for multiple iterations of fielding. The Topline Report's Trend feature enables longitudinal analysis for data in these studies, so that data from different waves of fielding can be compared readily.

Not all options are available for limited reports users for security reasons.
