Limitations & FAQ

Limitations

VTS Analytics is available in English and German. If VTS Online is set to another language, VTS Analytics is automatically displayed in English.

VTS Analytics currently supports only tests included in SCHUHFRIED Selection (SFS). Results from other tests, tests created with Test Generator, and open-access tests cannot be included in the analyses.

VTS Analytics displays only the main variables of each test. Subsidiary variables, additional information, and item-level variables are currently not processed. Additionally, for FCB5-S2, only factor scores are exported (no facets).

VTS Analytics is currently available only for VTS Online.

FAQ

Q: Is VTS Analytics free to use?

A: With VTS Version 10.0, VTS Analytics has become a paid premium feature. You can purchase a time license for one year on https://marketplace.schuhfried.com/en/.

Q: Who can access VTS Analytics?

A: Users who have an active license for VTS Analytics, access to VTS online and sufficient permissions for the respective environment can access VTS Analytics.

Q: Why do I not see my test results in VTS Analytics?

A: Possible reasons include:

  • The test result was created before the release of VTS 8.27 on August 2024.

  • The test type is not supported by VTS Analytics (only SCHUHFRIED Selection tests).

  • The data export cycle has not yet completed (exports run once per hour).

  • You selected only subtests providing subsidiary variables or other non-exported variables (e.g. FCB5-S2 carefreeness), hence there are no main variables available for export. The following table shows which variables are exported to VTS Analytics for each test and test form, including their short and long names. For an overview of all variables generally available for export in VTS, see the Variable description.

Q: How long does it take until new test results appear?

A: Data is exported to VTS Analytics every hour on workdays between 07:00 and 23:00 UTC.
New results may therefore take up to 60 minutes to appear in the dashboard.

Q: What happens if I delete a test result in VTS Online?

A: If a test result is deleted in VTS Online, it is also removed from VTS Analytics.

Q: Can I analyze historical test results created offline or before 2024?

A: No. Only test results generated after the release of VTS Online 8.27 in August 2024 are available.

Q: Can I analyze custom test batteries?

A: Yes, as long as they consist of supported tests (SCHUHFRIED Selection).

Q: Why does my sample size change when I switch pages?

A: The current sample size depends on the filter context. Some pages allow only one test result per person to be shown at the same time, see also Interface Overview | [mediaInline] Filters.

Q: Why can I not select a person in the Settings panel?

A: The persons available in Settings are affected by active filters. Try resetting all filters using the filter menu or reloading the webpage.

Q: Can I save filter settings?

A: Currently, filter selections are session-based and may reset when the dashboard is reloaded.

Q: What does cross-highlighting mean?

A: Cross-highlighting allows you to select elements in one visualization and highlight the corresponding data in other visualizations on the same page. You can select multiple elements at once using Ctrl + Left Click.

Q: Why do some pages not display data?

A: Some pages require mandatory Settings, such as choosing at least one person to display comparisons. If the issue persists, try resetting all filters using the filter menu or reloading the webpage.

Q: Why are some confidence intervals of the mean not displayed?

A: Confidence intervals are not displayed if the sample size is too small (n < 3).

Q: Is my data anonymized when processed in VTS Analytics?

A: No. Since the data is only visible within your environment (i.e. mandant) with sufficient user rights, test person’s names are visible in clear text.

Q: How can I export data from VTS Analytics?

A: Most tables and visualizations in VTS Analytics support the native Power BI export function. To export the displayed data, open the More options menu (⋯) in the top right corner of the visual and select Export data. The data can then be downloaded as a .csv file.

Note that the exported data reflects the currently active filters and selections in the dashboard.

Q: Can I import test results from a different environment to VTS Analytics

A: No. Currently, only test results originally created inside your environment (i.e. mandant) can be displayed in VTS Analytics. Imported test results are not processed due to technical reasons.
