Filtering the analyses for shared users

In Snap XMP Online you can use the filter feature to filter or restrict the response data that researchers and analysts can access on their shared accounts.

If you use shared accounts on Snap XMP Online, you can set up a filter for each survey which will be applied to the shared user’s view of all the analyses in that survey.

The survey must include a question that identifies the appropriate data for the filter. For example, this can be a question that provides a department, college, business, or location. You can then set up filters on the shared account which will provide access to view only the relevant data.

Step 1: Finding the variable details

The list of the survey’s variable details is available in both Snap XMP Online and Snap XMP Desktop. You will need the variable details to create the filter expression.

In Snap XMP Online

  1. Log into Snap XMP Online.
  2. In Your work, select the survey that you are sharing.
  3. Click the Collect tab. This shows the Overview section
  4. Click Variables on the side menu. This shows a list of the variables for the survey. The list includes the system paradata variables.

  1. Select All to print the definitions of all the variables in your survey. Select Specify selection to filter on selected variables then enter the names of the variables, separated by commas, in the list, e.g. Q2, Q3.
  2. In Style, select Details (single column) or Details (double column) to print the details of the variable. The report layout can be a single column or double column format, depending on the selection.
  3. Click Setup followed by Printer Setup. Select the printer or to print to a file. Click OK twice to return to the Print Variable Details dialog.
  4. Click Print. This generates a report showing the codes for the selected variables. This is available as a reference when defining your filter.

Step 2: Sharing the survey and adding a filter

Other Snap XMP Online users are given permission to share a survey through the Shares tab in of Snap XMP Online.

  1. Log in to Snap XMP Online and the first page shown is Your work. If you are already logged into Snap XMP Online, click Home to return to Your work. The Summary tab shows by default.

  4. Set Enabled to Yes for the user to have access to the shared survey or survey template.
  5. Set Manage shares to No if you do not want the user to share the survey with other account holders or set to Yes if you want the user to be able to share the survey with other Snap XMP Online account users.
  6. When you have entered the user details, click Save to add the user. The user has access to the shared item. The Shares list displays the new user.
