The Group By option allows the Course Evaluations Manager to decide how data are aggregated on the report. If the Combined option is chosen, the data for all selected Blocks or Sites will be treated as if they were a single entity. Otherwise, data for each selected section will be reported separately, which is the default.


Group By - Data can be grouped to:

  • No Grouping
  • Survey
  • Block
  • Site
  • Block (Combined) - Combines all sites in the block for each course on the survey
  • Site (Combined) - Combines all blocks in the site for each course on the survey
  • Block/Site (Combined) - Combines the data by block and site for each course on the survey

NOTE: If an option is chosen, the data for all selected Periods or Sites will be treated as if they were a single section.  Otherwise, data for each selected section will be reported separately, which is the default setting.
