Overview - Responses & Statistics

Responses summary

The following section focuses on the creation of responses and statistics.

From the top navigation bar, click the arrow next to Responses and select Responses & Statistics.



The summary page is displayed.



The table Response summary contains the following:
  • Full responses - the number of surveys submitted by your respondents (by clicking the Submit button located on the last page of your survey)
  • Incomplete responses - the number of surveys that have not been completely filled out by your respondents
  • Total responses - the aggregated number of complete/full and incomplete responses

Note: In the Responses table, the incomplete answers are response records with no submission date. Such a record can occur when a participant uses the resume later function, or when an operator uses the data entry functionality to fill out a survey without submitting the answer, or when a participant leaves a survey without completing it.

If you use the survey participants option, a summary of the survey participants-related data is displayed on the page below the Response summary table.

  • Total records - the number of survey participants from the survey participants table

Note: Please refer to the Survey participants section for a more detailed explanation of the Survey participants functionality.
