Multi Horizontal Bar Charts are used:
- In feedback reports to show benchmark results alongside response results.
- In cohort reports to show comparative results withing the cohort, optionally alongside benchmark results.
Below is an example of a Multi Horizontal Bar Chart showing two sets of benchmark results alongside response results.
The label "All Respondents" is the label that was assigned to the all responses benchmark, the other benchmark compares the respondent with other responses with the same role. These are set up as classifiers and can apply to any demographic question in the assessment.
This example compares counts of respondents in a cohort, split by Ratings. A special Rating Type has been set up (using Advanced Ratings) to group the Answers
