About the Coverage Report

The coverage report identifies questions that are asked of a specific segment in the report. You can use the coverage report to identify problem areas in the data during quality assurance testing.

The coverage report only shows the totals for each question and simplifies it further by turning the percentages into icons. If an icon is not in the form you expect to see, hover over it to view the percentages.

3:  Reading the Report (Report 2010 version)

The coverage report displays the question labels and the segments you defined.

The coverage report consists of the following icons:

	The check mark icon indicates that 100% of the participants shown the question answered the question. You may hover over the check mark icon to view the percentage, number of participants that were shown and the number of participants that answered the question.
	The dash icon indicates that not all of the participants that were shown the question answered the question. You may hover over the dash icon to view the percentage, number of participants that were shown the question and the number of participants that answered the question.
	The none icon indicates that none of the participants that were shown the question answered the question. You may hover over the none icon to view the percentage, number of participants that were shown the question and the number of participants that answered the question.

Example:

The example below shows a report that is split by males and females. The coverage download shows that no males viewed or answered Q3 and no females viewed or answered Q12. At Q13 and Q6, less than 100% of participants that viewed the question answered the question, specifically females. Every other question had 100% of the participants view and answer the question.
