Rotation Options - Combine Surveys : Course Evaluations

The Combine Surveys option tells CoursEval to treat all selected reports like a single survey on the report, even if results were collected in different surveys. For example, if the users combines by site, the only data that will be combined is the site data. To activate this option, Show All needs to be selected in the survey drop down.

NOTES:

In order to combine surveys the selected surveys must contain identical questions.
Using the search bar can limit the number of surveys that appear in the show all screen.
