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.

n = the Segmentation Number, this is available in the Segmentations function.

Filters
How to Using the Merge Manager Parameter Notes
Include all segmentation groups. From "Segmentation Group" choose All Segmentation Groups SegG=ALL Only applicable if the SegmentationNo=ALL display option is taken 
Include one segmentation group only. From "Segmentation Group" choose Segmentation Group name SegG=n Only applicable if the Segmentation display option is taken 

Options
How to  Using the Merge Manager Parameter Notes
Show scores as a percentage From "Display" select Percentage (none) Percentage scores will be displayed by default.
Show scores as an average value (Likert Style) From "Display" select Average Score (Likert Style) ShowActual=Y Show the average of the points scored for all questions included in the selection.
Use ratings from an Advanced rating type. From "Rating Type" choose the Rating Type to be used. RatingType=n n=Rating Type ID from Advanced ratings screen.
Show the score on each mark (percentage or actual score). From "Advanced" choose Display Labels.
From "Display Labels" select Labels.		 Label=Y Labels show the mark value in the Display Format (percentages or actual scores).
Show decimals on the score (both the label, if one is shown and the size of the mark) From "Advanced" choose Set the Decimals.
In "Decimals" enter the number of decimal places.		 Decimals=n The number of decimal places for the Axis and the label (if any)
Set the height of the graphic (overriding the default) From "Advanced" choose Height.
In "Height" enter the height required in pixels.		 Height=nnn The height of the graphic.  If the Width is not specified the system will calculate the width proportionately. The default height is 500 pixels.
Set the Width of the graphic (overriding the default) From "Advanced" choose Width.
In "Width" enter the width required in pixels.		 Width=nnn The Width of the graphic.  If the Height is not specified the system will use the default height. The default width is 500 pixels.
Display a benchmark made up of all previous responses where the response Classifier = the benchmark Classifier From "Advanced" choose Benchmark 1.
From "Benchmark 1" select the required group, either All Responses or filtered by Classifier.		 BM1=n n = 0 for All Responses. Otherwise n= the Classifier No (from the Classifier table)
Display a second benchmark made up of all previous responses where the response Classifier = the benchmark Classifier From "Advanced" choose Benchmark 2.
From "Benchmark 2" select the required group, either All Responses or filtered by Classifier.		 BM2=n n = 0 for All Responses. Otherwise n= the Classifier No (from the Classifier table)
Display a third benchmark made up of all previous responses where the response Classifier = the benchmark Classifier From "Advanced" choose Benchmark 3.
From "Benchmark 3" select the required group, either All Responses or filtered by Classifier.		 BM3=n n = 0 for All Responses. Otherwise n= the Classifier No (from the Classifier table)
Specify the Colors for the chart From "Advanced" choose Set the chart colors.
In "Set the chart colors" enter the  Hex code for the colors, separated by a comma.		 Chartcolors=CCCCCC,F0F0F0 Specify the hex code for the colors for the chart, separated by a comma.  They will be used in the order they appear.  If there are more marks than colors, the defaults will be used.
Order Elements by Score ascending (lowest at the top) From "Advanced" choose Sort Type.
From "Sort Type" select Score.
From "Advanced" choose Sort Order.
From "Sort Order" select Ascending.		 OrderType=Score
Order=Asc		 Score order of the mark labels
Order Elements by Score descending (highest to lowest) From "Advanced" choose Sort Type.
From "Sort Type" select Score.
From "Advanced" choose Sort Order.
From "Sort Order" select Descending.		 OrderType=Score
Order=Desc		 Alphabetical order of the mark labels
Order Elements by Name alphabetically ascending (A - Z) From "Advanced" choose Sort Type.
From "Sort Type" select Alphabetical.
From "Advanced" choose Sort Order.
From "Sort Order" select Ascending.		 OrderType=Alpha
Order=Asc		 Alphabetical order of the mark labels
Order Elements by Name alphabetically descending (Z - A) From "Advanced" choose Sort Type.
From "Sort Type" select Alphabetical.
From "Advanced" choose Sort Order.
From "Sort Order" select Descending.		 OrderType=Alpha
Order=Desc		 Alphabetical order of the mark labels

Cohort Groupings 
How to show Using the Merge Manager Parameter Notes
Group all the responses into one result From "Advanced" choose Set the Cohort Splits.
From "Cohort Splits" select Average all Responses.		 SplitType=N No Split
Group responses by Reporting Identifier (or Role if using Cohort Initiations) From "Advanced" choose Set the Cohort Splits.
From "Cohort Splits" select Group by Report Identifier.		 SplitType=I Show the average of responses, grouped by Report Identifier or the Specified Identifier
Group responses by Respondent (First name/Last name) From "Advanced" choose Set the Cohort Splits.
From "Cohort Splits" select Group by Respondent.		 SplitType=R Show the average of responses, grouped by Respondent.
Group responses by Classifier From "Advanced" choose Set the Cohort Splits.
From "Cohort Splits" select Group by Classifier.
From "Advanced" choose Set the Select Classifier.
From "Classifier" select Classifier to use.		 SplitType=C
Class=n		 Show the average of responses, grouped by Classifier.  N = the classifier Number from the Classifier list. 
Group responses by Month and Year From "Advanced" choose Set the Cohort Splits.
From "Cohort Splits" select Group by Month/Year.		 SplitType=M Show the average of responses, grouped by Month and Year
Group responses by Year From "Advanced" choose Set the Cohort Splits.
From "Cohort Splits" select Group by Year.		 SplitType=Y Show the average of responses, grouped by Year
Filter the data to only use the specified Identifier From "Advanced" choose Filter by Identifier.
In "Identifier" enter the Reporting Identifier to use.		 Identifier=nnnnnn Filter the data to only use the specified Reporting Identifier (Often the Role if using Cohort Initiations).  If the Reporting Identifier has spaces, replace them with an underscore.
