Multi-User Comparison

This guide explains how to use the Multi-User Comparison feature in Family Navigator to compare individual user responses side-by-side across different questions and categories.

Overview​

The Multi-User Comparison page allows you to select multiple individual users and visualize their questionnaire responses in a detailed comparison format. Unlike group comparisons, this feature focuses on individual user responses, making it ideal for analyzing specific user patterns or conducting detailed assessments.

Accessing Multi-User Comparison​

  1. Log in to the Family Navigator application.
  2. Navigate to the "Multi-User Comparison" section from the main menu.
