Results are a dashboard view that deliver a screen based, real-time approach to assessment feedback. Results dashboards can be created for individuals, cohorts, or any of your assessments in combination.
Once created, results can be implemented:
- as a supplement or replacement for an individual feedback report, loading instantly at the end of assessments,
- as a supplement or replacement for an individual feedback report, emailed on completion,
- as a supplement or replacement for a cohort feedback report, emailed after the completion date, provided your response completion rules are met,
- as the landing tab when viewing a cohort to give a quick snapshot of the current results of a cohort,
- on a progress report email to advise cohort contacts of the completion rates of their cohorts graphically,
- set as a landing page in the partner portal,
- embedded in an assessor response for quick reference.
Note:
- Results is aimed datasets (after filters are applied) of less than 5,000 responses. Beyond that, performance may be unacceptable.
- Results are not suitable when the final section of the assessment is the calculations section with 'Calculations in report' specified against the section settings. Graphs/charts relying on the calculations in the last section will result in errors until the system has run the calculations upon completion of the response while it prepares the report.
- Graphs: It's recommended you don't specify widths on graphs in results pages to allow the graphs to be responsive to different screen sizes.

Results Dashboard Structure
Results dashboards are structured around containers and tiles. Tiles are held in containers.
You can have any number of tiles and rows of tiles in a container. You can have any number of containers as you scroll down the page.
Tiles are available in different sizes: full width, 11/12, 5/6, 3/4, 2/3, 7/12, 1/2, 5/12, 1/3, 1/4, 1/6, and 1/12 width. Combinations are allowed to add up to the full width (e.g., 1/6, 2/3, 1/6). If you don’t use the full width, the tiles will be centered.
The drag-and-drop interface enables you to move the containers and tiles on the dashboard.
Containers have two modes:
- “Always Showing” – which are effectively full-screen backgrounds that may be colored or have an image to graphically breakup the Results dashboard
- “On Demand” - which will show when a “More Details” link (either a label on a chart or as a static link) is clicked. On-Demand containers will be processed when the link is clicked and may receive parameters for the More Details link.
Creating a new Results dashboard
Results are located in the Assessment Manager section of Brilliant Assessments. Click on 'Results' on the left menu to access the Results List. As an Administrator, you can add and modify Results dashboards; Assessment Managers (Partners or Customers) only have access to published Results dashboards in View mode.
Here, you have an overview of your Results dashboards and can easily:
1. Add a new Results dashboard.
2. View any Results dashboard.
3. Edit the Results dashboard Name, Title, Description and Type.
4. Copy an existing Results dashboard.
5. Delete a Results dashboard - a warning message 'Are you sure you want to delete this dashboard?' will display before the Results dashboard is deleted.
Add Result Dashboard Screen
Click 'Add Dashboard' to start a new Results dashboard.
Give your new Results dashboard a Name, Title, and Description and Select which type of Results dashboard you're creating then click 'Save':
1. Name - The Results dashboard name appears in the Results list.
2. Title - The Results dashboard title appears in the Results list as well as at the top of the results dashboard when in view mode.
3. Description - The description is only used in the Results list.
4. Type - 4 types of Results dashboards are available to choose from:
- Summary - displays data of several assessments and would be displayed as a landing tab in the partner portal or the Assessor View.
- Assessment - displays data of a single assessment and would be displayed as a landing tab in the partner portal or the Assessor View.
- Cohort - displays data of a single cohort and would be displayed as the landing tab when viewing a cohort.
- Individual - displays individual data and would be displayed at the end of an assessment.
If you select Assessment, Cohort or Individual, an additional field will appear for you to advise which assessment(s) you want the Results dashboard to be linked to.
5. Published - When a Results dashboard is published, it can be viewed from the Results menu item by Partners and Customers (Assessment Manager role), provided they have access to the same assessment as the Results dashboard. This isn't required for them to view it as a landing page or cohort home page.
Results Edit
Once on the Results Edit screen, you can see the below items:
1. Add - Enables you to add containers and tiles to your Results dashboard.
2. Filters - Enables you to select which filters are available to Managers/Assessors under 'View' mode.
3. Save - Saves your latest updates and remains in Edit Mode
4. Save & View - Saves your latest updates and switches to 'View' mode
5. Test Data - Test Data is only used when designing an embedded assessment for Responses or the Cohort Home page.
Click on 'Add' and start adding a container.
Once your first container is added, you can access the Container Settings:
1. Container Name - The container name is visible under 'edit' mode only.
2. On Demand vs Always Showing
- “Always Showing” – full-screen backgrounds
- “On Demand” - only show when a “More Details” link (either a label on a chart or as a static link) is clicked. On Demand containers will be processed when the link is clicked and may receive parameters for the More Details link.
3. Color - Enables you to define a background color to your container.
4. Opacity - If a color is defined, you can specify the opacity as desired.
5. Upload Image - Enables you to upload a background image to the container.
6. Tile Spacing (Top & Bottom) - Enables you to increase or decrease the gaps between tiles in pixels.
7. Tile Min Height—This option allows you to specify the minimum height of the tiles within the container (in pixels).
Next, add as many tiles as you need within the container. Use the drag and drop interface to position the tiles as desired.
Here again, you can access Tile Settings:
1. Background Color - Enables you to define a background color for your tile.
2. Border Color - Enables you to define a border color for your tile.
3. Border Thickness - Enables you to define the border's thickness (defaults to 2 pixels). Set it to 0 if you do not want any border to appear.
4 & 5. Padding (Left & Right) - Enables you to increase or decrease the gaps between tiles (in pixels).
6. Min Height - Enables you to specify the minimum height of the tile (in pixels).
7. Rounded Corners - True by default.
8. Width - Enables you to update the width of the tile. Combinations will be allowed to add up to the full width. If you don’t have the full width used, the tiles will be centered.
Once the Tile Settings have been updated/reviewed, you can start adding content to each tile.
Defining Tile Contents
To define tile content, we will use the merge manager (same as when building a feedback or cohort report), along with text and images.
All of the merge strings available, and the parameters that are available for each one, are documented here. Merge Strings Available for Reports and Results
TIP: If you are using rating text, ensure your rating text is not in a table. The table overrides the text wrapping in results.
Using the Merge Manager Tab you can review an existing merge string in the Results dashboard. If you double-click on the merge string, the Merge Manager will display all of the parameter options for the merge string. You can modify it if required.
The More Details merge string activates Containers, passing Assessment, Cohort, Response, Section, subsection, Segmentation Group, and/or Segmentation information.
Click on the pencil icon and use the merge manager to create the merge strings. Add any desired text and images as well. Click 'Save'.
The content will automatically display.
Once you have added the content to all your tiles, don't forget to 'Save' or 'Save & View' your Results dashboard.
Defining Filters
When creating your Results dashboard, you will also be able to define the available filters relevant to the data, including date ranges and classifier-based filters, so viewers can drill down on the displayed data.
Click the Available checkbox in front of each field you want to be available for viewers.
Adding and displaying drilldowns containers
In order to create and display drilldown containers as desired, you first need to add a new container. Set this container to be an 'On Demand' container.
Define the content of the On Demand container by adding as many tiles as required and the appropriate content.
Once the On Demand container is successfully set-up, you can now set-up the “More Details” link (either a label on a chart or as a static link). The "More Details" link needs to be set-up in a different container that is positioned above the On Demand container.
1. From the merge manager, select the merge type 'More Details'
Then, under options:
2. Set the container - a dropdown list of 'On Demand' containers will display. Select the relevant one.
3. Set the More Details Text - define the hyperlink text. If this is not specified, it will default to "More Details". Enter spaces as underscores, for example click_here will appear as click here.
4. Set the Drilldown - type Y to enable drilldown.
Example: Click {MoreDetails[Container=xxx CustomLabel=here Drilldown=Y]} to view scores by Respondent.
Displaying your Results dashboards
