Innovation is the driving force behind organizational success, and InnoSurvey® by Innovation360 provides the tools to analyze, compare, and track innovation capabilities. Whether you are conducting an organizational assessment, running an Event Poll, or benchmarking against industry standards, InnoSurvey® allows you to generate, combine, and print reports for better decision-making.
In this article, we explore how to maximize the power of InnoSurvey®, including how to use Virtual Polls, Advanced Clipboard, and Capability Analyzer to create dynamic and insightful reports.
The Power of Capability Analyzer in Reporting
The Capability Analyzer is the backbone of InnoSurvey® reporting. It enables organizations to:

Generating Reports for Event Polls
InnoSurvey® supports Event Polls, which are ideal for Innovation Circles, Industry Summits, and Leadership Forums. These polls allow multiple participants to provide insights without belonging to the same organization.
How to Print Reports for Event Polls

Choose the specific Event Poll you want to analyze.
Click on the Participants section.
Download individual reports for each participant.
Tip: If you need an aggregated Event Poll report, use Advanced Clipboard or Virtual Polls to merge multiple responses into a single analysis.
3. How to Combine Data from Multiple Polls
Many organizations conduct multiple innovation assessments over time. Instead of analyzing each poll separately, you can combine datasets for a comprehensive view of innovation performance.
Virtual Polls: The Ultimate Data Aggregation Tool
What are Virtual Polls?
Virtual Polls allow you to combine multiple existing polls into a single analytical unit without affecting the original responses.
Why Use Virtual Polls?
Compare different departments, teams, or time periods.
Merge multiple polls for a holistic view of innovation trends.
Generate organization-wide innovation reports dynamically.
How to Use Virtual Polls for Reporting
Navigate to Capability Analyzer.
Select Virtual Polls from the available options.
Choose the polls you want to combine into a single analytical unit.
Save the Virtual Poll dataset.
Generate reports, comparisons, and visual analytics from the new Virtual Poll.
Example Use Case: A multinational company running regional innovation assessments can create one Virtual Pollto merge data from all locations, giving a global innovation overview.
4. Using Advanced Clipboard for Report Customization
The Advanced Clipboard allows analysts to store, merge, and compare datasets before generating reports. This feature is particularly useful for benchmarking and long-term trend analysis.
How to Use Advanced Clipboard for Reporting
In Capability Analyzer, select the filters you need (organization, time period, industry).
Click “Copy data to clipboard” to store the dataset.
Navigate to the Diagram Clipboard tab.
Select multiple datasets to compare and merge.
Click “Create Diagram” to visualize innovation performance trends.
Tip: This feature enables organizations to track innovation growth, compare historical data, and identify emerging trends.
5. Exporting and Printing Raw Data Reports
Who Can Access Raw Data Export?
Raw Data Export is restricted to top researchers and business analysts who meet the following criteria:
Published multiple research papers in academic journals.

Note: If you do not have access to raw data, you can still generate reports using Capability Analyzer, Virtual Polls, and Advanced Clipboard.
6. Tracking Innovation Performance Over Time
How to Compare Different Time Periods in Reports
Use Time Filters in Capability Analyzer to select a specific period.
Store datasets in Advanced Clipboard for comparison.
Use Diagram Clipboard to generate time-based comparative reports.
Export and print the final report.
Example Use Case: A company can compare its innovation performance from 2020, 2022, and 2024 to identify patterns and growth areas.
7. Printing Customized Reports for Distribution
How to Customize Reports Before Printing
In Capability Analyzer, choose the sections you want to include.
Apply filters to tailor the data (e.g., organization, industry, time period).
Use Advanced Clipboard to add external datasets for comparison.
Select visual elements like charts, graphs, and tables.
Click Generate Report and choose Print or Download as PDF.
Tip: Before printing, highlight key insights to make reports more impactful for stakeholders.
