Accessing Additional Question Responses

WeTicket exports are always downloaded as CSV files. CSV stands for comma separated values and is a standard format for exporting data so spreadsheet programs can easily open it.

  1. Open the CSV File:

    • Use a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, or another compatible application to open the downloaded CSV file.

  2. Locate Custom Question Columns:

    • In the spreadsheet, look for columns corresponding to your custom questions. These columns will contain the responses provided by attendees.

💡 Note: If the data doesn’t display correctly upon opening the CSV file, you might need to adjust the settings in your spreadsheet program to ensure proper formatting.
