Creating a report

The Team from Poll Everywhere
  • Updated

In this article:

    You can generate reports in two ways.

    From your Activities page

    Check the boxes to the left of the activities and folders you’d like to include in the report, then click the Create report action at the top of the list. On the right-side screen, select the report type you wish to generate. The report will automatically be created.

    From the Reports page

    Go to the Reports tab on the left side of your Activities page, then select the Create report button.

    On the right-side screen, select the report type you wish to generate. Select the activities you wish to include in your report, then click the Create report button in the bottom right corner of the window.

    Changing report types

    If you want, you can change the report type. Say you generated an executive report, then decided you wanted a response pivot table. If you click the Change report type button in the top right of the generated report, you’ll be able to select a different report type.

    Helpful tip: Remember, if your report contains any anonymous activities, you will only be able to use the executive summary report.

    Updating a report and re-syncing poll results to your gradebook using the "Update Report" option.

    If you need to update and re-sync poll results to your gradebook, overriding previously synced results. Follow these steps to ensure the process works as expected:

      • Navigate to the initial report in Poll Everywhere that was synced to your LMS.
      • In the upper area of the report view, click the Update Report option. This action refreshes the report to include any new responses or participants.Screenshot 2024-12-11 at 14.14.04.png
      • After updating the report, export it again by clicking Export and following the steps to send the updated gradebook report to your LMS.

    Note: The LMS gradebook column is directly linked to the Poll Everywhere report. If the column is deleted in the LMS, syncing will not work. In this case, you will need to create a new report in Poll Everywhere and re-sync it to your LMS.
