Tracking responses
Review shows a running count of your completed responses at the top of the tab. An interview in which the respondent skipped every question still ends on the thank-you screen, but it does not count as a response. Deciding how many you need is a planning step you do earlier, in Share, where a sample size calculator helps you choose a target before you launch; see Share. Review doesn’t compare your live count against that target automatically, so use the number you set there as your own benchmark for whether you’ve collected enough.Planning ahead for disaggregation
If you know you’ll want to compare results by location, age, or another group once you’re in Analyse, make sure your study actually asks for that information; disaggregation can only filter by a demographic field or question that’s already in your data. It’s easier to add that question now than to wish you had it once collection is underway.Reading individual responses
Review lists every response in a table, showing its status, when it was completed, how many questions were answered, and how long it took. Open any response to see the full answer-by-answer trace, including which questions were skipped and why, any safety flags, and an inline player for voice or video answers. Where an answer isn’t in English, a toggle on that answer lets you switch between the original wording and the English translation. If any answers are still missing their text, for example because transcription hasn’t finished, a banner at the top tells you how many and offers to retry it directly.Removing a response
Open a response’s menu and choose to delete it. This permanently removes that respondent’s answers from the study, including from any analysis and reports already built from it; it can’t be undone. Use this if a respondent (or someone acting for them) asks you to remove their data; see Your rights & retention for what that request involves more broadly.Getting your data out
Export your raw data as a CSV file from the study’s Review tab. It always contains every completed response, not just what’s currently on screen, with one row per respondent. The export menu offers the same file in two versions: Export CSV writes each chosen answer option as its English wording, and Export CSV (identifiers) writes it as its stable code, which suits statistics software. The first header row holds a stable key for each column, and the second holds the question text. Each row opens with the session details, such as when the interview started and finished, how long it took, its language, its interview version and any safety flags. The questions follow in the order the interview asks them. An open answer takes two columns, the cleaned English text and the respondent’s own words, and every live follow-up adds columns for the question voi asked and its answer. A cell without an answer tells you why:
A text cell that starts with =, +, - or @ gets a leading apostrophe, so a spreadsheet shows it as text instead of running it as a formula, and numbers stay numbers. The export contains individual answers, so treat the file as personal data once it leaves voi and store it accordingly.
Once your responses look solid, move to Analyse for indicator scores and themes, or Explore to ask a direct question about your data.
