How to read data stories in your report
Data stories are ready-made analytical narratives that Conjointly generates from your responses. Instead of asking you to piece findings together across separate tabs, a data story combines charts, tables, and written commentary into a single, self-contained read that walks you through what the data shows.
Where to find data stories
Data stories are published inside your report alongside the rest of your results.
- Open your report and go to the All responses view.
- Select the Insight tab.
- Look in the Other section. Each data story appears as its own pill that you can click to open.
When a report contains several data stories, they are grouped together so you can move between them from one place.
Reading a data story
Opening a data story shows the rendered narrative: a formatted page that mixes explanatory text with the charts and tables generated from your data. Read it top to bottom the way you would a short analyst write-up. The commentary is generated directly from your own responses, so the figures and the surrounding text always refer to the same underlying results.
Viewing the underlying analysis
Every data story is produced from a .qmd document that is compiled against your response data. You can inspect that source at any time.
- Click to switch from the rendered narrative to the underlying .qmd code.
- Click the same button again to switch back to the rendered view.
Toggling to the .qmd view is useful when you want to understand exactly how a figure was calculated, or to see the logic behind the commentary before you cite it in a presentation.
Data stories are read-only. They summarise your existing responses and do not change any of your other report tabs or settings.
