  4. A survey report enables you to choose how to export the data. Brightspace describes the two report types as:

    • Summary Report- You can display aggregate data for multiple choice, true and false, Likert, multi-select, and matching question types. You can also display text responses for written response, short answer, and fill in the blanks question types.

    • Individual Attempts- This report displays each attempt individually. You can choose to hide the user’s first and last name when the Individual Attempts report is viewed.”

  6. Click Save when finished. Then click Save and Close.
