What Is a Response Filter?
This feature lets you extract and analyze only the response data that meets your desired conditions — such as gender, age, or specific question answers — from among all respondents. When a filter is applied, it is immediately reflected across all data in the service, including the Results tab, Cross-tab tab, and Report tab. When downloading a PPT report, the data is also saved with the filter applied.
Why Should You Use Response Filters?
1️⃣ Focus on the results of a specific group of respondents.
Instead of analyzing all responses at once, you can select only the respondent group you want based on gender, age, region, or specific question responses to review their results. This lets you identify the characteristics and response tendencies of a particular group more clearly.
2️⃣ Discover insights tailored to your analysis goals more easily.
Using filters, you can examine only the responses that meet specific conditions, or compare results between groups. This helps you uncover meaningful differences or patterns that may not be visible in the overall results.
How to Set Up Quick Filters
📌 The quick filter feature is available on all plans.
Use this when you want to apply a filter quickly using frequently used variables. Quick filters let you rapidly select a specific group of respondents with minimal configuration, making them useful for basic data review or initial analysis.
step 1. In the right sidebar of the Analytics screen, click 'Add filter' in the [Quick filter] section.
💡 Usage tip | If you conducted a panel self-survey using the Opensurvey panel, gender, age, and region variables are provided by default without needing to add separate questions.
step 2. Select the variable you want to filter by, check the specific response choices, and click [Apply].
💡 Usage tip | When selecting multiple choices, use Shift + click to select a range all at once. (Up to 6 variables can be added.)
step 3. Once the conditions are applied, the data in the Results tab, Cross-tab tab, Text AI tab, and Report tab will update to match the selected conditions, and you can review the results for that group of respondents.
How to Use Advanced Filters
📌 The advanced filter feature is available on all plans.
Use this when you need to combine multiple conditions or perform more precise analysis. For example, you can set complex conditions such as "respondents who are A and B" or "respondents who match A or B," making it well-suited for analyzing more segmented respondent groups. (※ Applying an advanced filter resets any quick filters that were previously set.)
step 1. In the right sidebar, click 'Set advanced filter' in the [Advanced filter] section.
step 2. Select the variable and choices to filter by, and decide whether to 'include' or 'exclude' those conditions.
💡 Usage tip
Ranking type: You can select a criterion — Top 1, Top 1–2, or Top 1–3 — to include only respondents who answered within a specific rank.
Text: You can filter to include only responses containing a specific keyword.
💡 Usage tip | Click the 'Add condition set' button to configure multiple conditions in various combinations.
step 3. After adding all conditions, click [Apply]. If you want to edit your settings, click the 'Advanced filter applied' button again to reopen the settings screen.
💡 Here are some additional features available in response filters.
✅ Filter persistence
The filters you have set remain active until you close the browser, and continue to apply even when you navigate to other Analytics tabs.
✅ Reflected in downloads
When you download PPT or Excel outputs with a filter active, the report is generated based on the filtered data.
