How to adjust the feature
Adjust the following parameters on the Time Series page.
Define the time period you want to view the response statistics (to a particular question) using the From and To calendar menus. Make sure your 'To' date is not before your 'From' date. Use the Interval dropdown menu to break down time periods into years, quarters, months, weeks and days. The overall length of an interval should be shorter than the whole time period selected. Use the Step text box to set the interval pacing. For example, if you chose a time period of 1 month, an interval of a week and your interval step is '2', then you will have two intervals, each interval is 2 weeks long. | |
