Geolocation data support EFM 15.1 FP3 now allows survey authors to capture and report on respondent location data. . With the respondent location data available in EFM, the survey-taking experience can be precisely personalized using survey logic tools like Branching, Conditional Visibility, Quota, and Piping. The Reporting experience has also been updated to support Location data at all levels, including two brand new interactive report elements.

Respondent Distribution Map

The Respondent Map element visualizes Geographical distribution of Survey respondents. The Respondent Distribution map supports drilldown so that you the report author can drill in from a World Map to a Country level, up to State or Region level for supported countries. This report element can be added to any report, dashboard, or be distributed as a public widget.

It allows to easily visualize statistics of survey responses for a specific question by geography and visualize how the average satisfaction varies by different locations. Statistics Map supports drilldown as well as report filtering and can be added to any report, dashboard, or be distributed as a public widget.

Question responses distribution by location

Location as part of Panelist Basic Profile
