Multi-Polar Charts are used:

  • In feedback reports to show benchmark results alongside response results.
  • In cohort reports to show comparative results within the cohort, optionally alongside benchmark results.

Below is an example of a Multi-Polar Chart showing a benchmark result alongside response results.

Filter the data to only use the previous (2nd to last) Iteration From "Advanced" choose Filter by Iteration.
In "Iteration" Select "Previous Iteration".		 Iteration=Previous Filter the data to only use the Previous (2nd to last) Iteration.
Invert the values in the graph to show bars for the cohort splits rather than the assessment elements. From "Advanced" choose Invert.
From "Invert" select Invert the Graph.		 Invert=Y Show the Cohort Split as the main division, and the Assessment elements (e.g. sections, subsections etc) as the secondary division of the graph
Set the Maximum number of values on a graph, and overflow to another graph, if there a more values From "Advanced" choose Set Max.
In "Set Maximum" enter the number of main division entries allowed on the graph.		 MaxValues=n If you think you may get more than, say, 20 values (most common when the Cohort Split is by Respondent), set the Maximum Values to start a new chart with the remaining values.
