drop_sensitive: Drop columns from survey responses

In jamesdunham/qsurvey: A toolkit for working with the Qualtrics platform and its survey data in R

Description

drop_sensitive drops the columns that give approximate location, IP address, contact name, and contact email from a table of survey responses. drop_meta also drops other standard columns that don't represent question responses. keep_questions is most strict, keeping only the columns for survey questions; it drops columns with embedded data, for example.

Usage

drop_sensitive(tbl)

drop_meta(tbl)

keep_questions(tbl, design_object)

Arguments

tbl	A data.frame of survey responses.
design_object	A qualtrics_design-class object retrieved from Qualtrics by design.

Details

The following metadata columns are dropped by drop_sensitive, if they exist in the table:

• LocationLatitude

• LocationLongitude

• RecipientLastName

• RecipientEmail

drop_meta drops those columns and any of the following:

• ExternalDataReference

• EndDate
