Colibri Analyser

The Colibri Analyser is a dashboard for exploring the Colibri report CSV file: upload the file, slice it with filters, visualise responses, and decode multiple-choice answers.

No assessment data is saved in this app. You can save assessment schema but your Colibri data is never saved.

Exercises: your workspaces

An exercise is a saved workspace. Each exercise keeps its own filters, saved correlations, and report settings, so you can keep different analyses cleanly separated.

  • On the Select an Exercise screen, click Create exercise to start a new one and give it a name

  • Click an existing exercise to open it

  • Use the delete control to remove exercises you no longer need

Everything you configure inside an exercise (filters, saved correlations, settings) is stored automatically and will be there when you come back.

Uploading a CSV file

Once you're inside an exercise, you'll see the upload area.

  1. Drag and drop your CSV file onto the dashed dropzone, or click to browse for it

  2. A "Processing file…" spinner appears while the file is read

  3. The dashboard populates as soon as parsing finishes

A few things to know:

  • Your file is parsed entirely in your browser

  • To swap in a different file, click New File in the header to clear the current data and start over

Filtering and searching data

The data table shows every respondent and their answers. There are two ways to narrow it down.

Use the search bar to instantly filter the table by email address.

Advanced filters

Click Filters to open the filter builder, where you can create precise rules:

  1. Click + Rule to create a condition

  2. Choose a column, a comparator, and a value

  3. Add as many rules as you need. Use + Group to nest conditions together

  4. Toggle each group between AND and OR logic to control how rules combine

  5. Click NOT next to any rule to invert it (e.g. turn "equals" into "does not equal" without changing the comparator)

The table updates live as you build your filter, and a "Showing X of Y rows" count appears so you can see at a glance how much the filter has narrowed things down.

Comparators explained:

Comparator
What it does

Equals / Does not equal

Exact match (or exclusion) on the full value

Contains / Does not contain

Matches if the value appears anywhere in the field

Starts with / Ends with

Matches the beginning or end of the value

Greater than / Less than

Numeric comparison

Greater than or equal to / Less than or equal to

Numeric comparison, inclusive

Is empty / Is not empty

Matches blank fields, or fields with any value

Sorting

Click any column header to sort by it. Clicking again cycles through ascending, descending, and unsorted. An arrow icon shows the current direction.

Saved filters

Complex filters can be reused. Inside the filter area, open the Saved Filters dropdown to:

  • Save the current filter under a name

  • Reload a previously saved filter with one click

Saved filters live with the exercise, so your team's standard views are always a click away.

Charts and visualisations

The analytics tabs sit directly under the Analytics heading. Click a tab name to switch views (only one is open at a time):

  • Score Distribution: bar charts showing how often each score occurs, per score column

  • Response Analysis: pick a column to see a distribution bar chart. You can also build a correlation heatmap: choose Column A and Column B to see a grid showing how their values overlap. Click any cell to drill into the exact respondents in that intersection

  • Stacked Count: choose several columns plus a "Group By" column to compare response counts as stacked bars

  • Multi-Choice: appears after you upload a .txps exercise file (see the next section). It shows charts with readable answer text instead of raw 0/1 values

Decoding binary columns with a .txps file

Some CSV exports store multiple-choice answers as binary columns — lots of 0s and 1s where each column represents one possible answer. On their own these are hard to read.

When Colibri Analyser detects binary columns, it shows a notice and a button to upload the matching exercise file (a .txps file) that contains the real question and answer text.

  1. Click Upload exercise file (it shows how many binary columns were detected)

  2. Drag in or browse for your .txps file

  3. The app matches each binary column to its question, and a Multi-Choice tab appears with fully readable charts. Decoded values also show up in the user detail view
