Single-Row Export By Group Identifier

Export And Analyze Group Survey Data With Advanced Filtering, Identifier-Level Reporting, Contextual Missing-Data Explanations, And Downloadable Media Upload ZIP Files.

Overview

The Single-Row Export by Group Identifier provides a flexible way to export group survey response data from the Impact Suite.

Unlike traditional survey exports, this export is designed around submission-level reporting and operational workflows. Most non-matrix survey data is consolidated into a flat worksheet, making it easier to:

  • filter and sort responses in Excel,
  • combine data with external systems,
  • review identifier-level submissions,
  • troubleshoot missing responses,
  • and export uploaded media files.

This export also includes advanced options not available in other export types, including:

  • downloadable Media Upload ZIP files,
  • contextual explanations for missing data,
  • optional group profile data exports,
  • and flexible identifier-level reporting.

Matrix and goal tracking responses continue to export into supplemental worksheets to ensure complete access to all submitted data.


Access Single-Row Export By Group Identifier

  1. On the left, in your Mission Control, click Survey Data.
  2. On the right, under Single-Row Exports, click By group identifier.


Step 1: Choose Your Data

You can pull your export data in two ways:

    1. Select By Form Name.
    2. Choose one or more forms.
    3. Click Set.

Only forms containing group-facing questions will be selectable.

Forms that contain only reporter-facing questions will appear unavailable because they do not contain applicable group data.

If you select multiple forms:

    • each form will export into a separate workbook,
    • and data from different forms will not be combined into a single workbook.

Use this option when you want to export specific survey questions across forms.

    1. Select By Questions.
    2. Click Customize.
    3. Select the questions you would like to include.
    4. Enter a name for your saved selection.

You can include group profile fields directly in the export worksheets.

  1. Enable:
    • Add Group Profile Fields to worksheets
  2. Choose the standard or custom profile panels and fields to include.


Export Media Upload ZIP Files

Single-Row Exports are the only survey exports that allow Media Upload question responses to be exported as downloadable ZIP files.

Enable:

  • Create a Zip.file hyperlink for each Media Upload Question

You can organize ZIP files:

  • by file name,
  • by reporter name,
  • by identifier name,
  • or by launch period.

Organizing by identifier name is especially useful when reviewing uploads tied to specific group records.

Understanding the Export Workbook

  • export date and time,
  • exporter name,
  • export range,
  • included forms,
  • included launches,

Goal tracking questions export into their own dedicated worksheets.
