Analyse overview

Once you have launched your survey, you are able to start analysing responses as soon as they come in.

Navigate to the Analyse area of your survey by choosing Analyse on the sidebar menu.

As a default, you’ll be taken to the Overview page, which contains charts for each of your questions and had tools for you to filter or export your responses.

 

Charts and tables

Horizontal bar chart

A horizontal bar chart is displayed as the default for Choice, Dropdown and Grid questions.

For choice or grid questions that allow multiple answers, the percentages are calculated by how many of your respondents chose that individual answer option.
