. - SPECIAL NOTE FOR MATRIX QUESTION TYPES
matrix
question types have a complex results structure that doesn't easily map to a spreadsheet. They are essentially a table within a single cell. As a result, when downloading as a CSV you can download or access them in two forms:- Sub rows - Each
matrix
question type will generate subrows in the csv. This can make the data more easily visible, but means that the table is not 1 row = 1 submission.- to use --> results page link + '&expandAllMatrices=true'
- example: https://app.surveystack.io/api/submissions/csv?survey=60d20b292f38fe0001916497&expandAllMatrices=true
- JSON Object - Each
matrix
question type will have all the results stored in a single cell in a JSON array of objects. This is a simple structure where each entry in thematrix
question is an object in the array. This maintains the 1 row = 1 submission structure, but the matrix data is less human readable.- to use --> results page link WITHOUT '&expandAllMatrices=true'
- example: https://app.surveystack.io/api/submissions/csv?survey=60d20b292f38fe0001916497
