One of the most important tasks of a panel administrator is to check the composition of the panel regularly. The statistics features in the People → Statistics menu support you in this.
Panel data
The People → Statistics → Panel overview menu provides an overview on the state of the panel population (“panel health”). The key data are presented on tabs.
Panelist data
This tab contains a lightweight dynamic evaluation tool allowing you to split your panelist population on the fly by any master data or system master data you want.
- To make your choice, simply click on the Configuration button.
- You will also find a graphical representation of your results.
Please mind: Only activated panel statuses will be displayed.
Tracking information
Tracking data for the entire panel. For further information see chapter "Panel Tracking".
Panel projects and master data surveys online
Panel surveys and master data surveys that are currently in the field.
- Clicking on a project title will take you to the field report for the respective project.
- The results are represented graphically, too.
Completed panel projects and master data surveys
Panel surveys and master data surveys that are not active anymore and that have exceeded their field period. The list is restricted to surveys with a status change during the last 4 weeks.
Group history
Development of the group size over time. It lists all the groups that you have explicitly selected to be monitored.
Marking Groups for Better Monitoring
One of the purposes of group creation is to simplify the tracking of groups of panelists with characteristics that are important for the panel. The “Monitored groups” feature allows you to select such groups:
- These groups will be specially marked in the list of groups.
- Using the drop-down list “Monitored groups” in the extended search function of the list of groups, you can limit the display to the monitored groups or exclude them from the display.
- The group history shows the development of the goup size over time (Breadcrumb: People → Statistics → Panel overview → tab Group history).
To mark a group as described above, find the desired group in the People → Groups menu and click on the Edit group icon. This will open the dialog familiar from creating groups. Tick the checkbox “Mark group as 'monitored group'” and confirm by clicking on Save group.
Community Statistics
The Details tab in the People → Statistics → Community statistics menu provides an overview on community activities.
History
The History tab shows the development of the various community activities over time. Using the options hidden beneath the Configuration button, you can perform drilldown analyses. Possible criteria:
- Panel group, website, language version.
- Optionally, the activities of deleted panelists can be included in the analysis.
- Type of activity: specific community contents (forum, blog, discussion, chat), section, type of community data (e.g. number of posts and average number per panelist), specific forum discussion (i.e. forum topic, if forums have been selected).

Way of entry statistics
The Way of entry statistics allows you to split up the panel population according to way of entry, e.g. in order to check whether panelists with particular ways of entry are more or less active than average.
- You will find the function in the People → Statistics → Way of entry statistics menu.
