Inserting Advanced-Reports Content

About Inserting Advanced-Reports Content

The Insert button on the reports toolbar allows you to add content to your reports, including visualizations, page breaks, headers and footers.

Qtip: Interested in other features of the toolbar? Visit the Reports Toolbar support page.

Visualizations

You can use the Insert button to insert visualizations into your report. See our support page on Adding and Removing Visualizations for further instruction.

Text Areas

Click Insert then Text Area to add a Text Area to your report. This feature is useful if you want to add special headers, informational paragraphs, or other text to your report.

Once your Text Area is created, double-click the text to start editing. A Rich Content Editor will appear above to help you change font styles and formatting.

Qtip: You can also click Options and then Edit at the top of the Text Area to open the Rich Content Editor.

Piped Text

Piped Text reduces repeatable reporting tasks such as inserting question text or total number of respondents directly from the source project. Instead of inserting elements that otherwise need to be re-inserted or updated every reporting cycle into a new report, the report creator can easily insert a variable to represent the data and then use the variable in place of the element in the report.

Images

You can add images throughout your report.

Qtip: Want a logo to appear on the top of every page of the report without having to manually insert each one? Check out the Header and Footer section below.

Adding Images

Click Insert.
Select Image.
Paste an image URL.

Qtip: To insert an image from your library, click the Library icon to the right of the Image URL text box and select the graphic you want to insert.
Determine the image’s position relative to the margins around it.
Determine the image’s margins.

See the examples below for more information on image position.

Fit

The image reverts to its natural dimensions within the margins. If you need to resize an image without stretching it, this is the best option.

Fill

Have the image fill the margin without stretching.

Stretch

Stretch the image to fit the margins.

Tile

Repeat the image within the margins. This option looks especially nice for minimalist images or patterns.

Qtip: If the image is larger than the space you’re trying to fit it into, it won’t have a chance to repeat.

Center

Center the image within the margins without stretching it or fitting it.

Blank Spaces

Click Insert and choose Blank Space to insert a blank space at the bottom of the page you’re working on.

Blank spaces do exactly what it sounds like: they allow you to create blank spaces between your visualizations. They can be resized and dragged around the page as necessary.

Dividers

Click Insert and choose Divider to insert a dividing line at the bottom of the page you’re working on.

There are several option for customizing your dividers.

Divider Type: Decide whether your dividing line is horizontal across the page or vertical.
Style: The tear drop icon allows you to adjust the color of the divider. The Number selector lets you choose the thickness, in pixels, of the line.
Margin: Adjust the margin around the divider.

Page Breaks & Deleting Pages

Pages are created automatically when you add visualizations and insert other content. Once a page runs out of room, a new one is automatically created. However, you can also manually insert pages.

Attention: For the best performance, we recommend trying to keep your report below 30 pages.

Click Insert and choose Page Break to insert a page break at the bottom of the page you’re working on.

Qtip: You can also add a page break using the Insert buttons that appear when you click a visualization.

insert buttons above and below every visualization

Remove a page break by hovering over it and clicking the X.

Qtip: Removing a page break will not remove the entire page if there is content on it. You must manually remove the visualizations on a page before it will disappear.

Qtip: If a page is entirely blank, it will not be included when you export the report to PDF. This is true whether there’s two page breaks with nothing between them (or just a blank space), or if the page is blank because display logic has hidden all the visualizations.

Header and Footer

You can add a header and footer to your report that contains a title, page numbers, or logos.

Click Insert.
Select Page Header or Page Footer.
Set where you want text to appear relative to the other features in the header or footer. If you choose None, there will be no text.
