Creating an Analysis Dashboard

Analysis dashboards let you visualize survey responses with charts, summaries, and cross-tabulations. You can build multiple dashboards per survey to focus on different aspects of your data.

Analysis dashboard overview

Creating a new dashboard

Adding widgets

Add widget toolbar

Click Add Widget to add a visualization to your dashboard. Each widget displays data from one or more questions in your survey.

Available widget types include:

  • Bar chart - Compare response counts across options
  • Horizontal bar chart - Same as bar chart, laid out horizontally
  • Pie chart - Show proportions of each response option
  • Likert bar - Visualize agreement scales and rating distributions
  • Stacked distribution - Compare distributions across groups
  • Cross-tabulation - Analyze relationships between two questions
  • Over-time chart - Track response patterns over a date range

For a full list, see Available Chart Types.

Configuring widgets

After adding a widget, you can configure it by:

  • Selecting the question to visualize
  • Choosing the chart type from the available options
  • Applying filters to show only specific subsets of data
  • Adjusting display options such as labels, colors, and ordering

Rearranging your dashboard

Drag and drop widgets to reorder them on the dashboard. You can build layouts that tell a clear story from your data, starting with high-level summaries and drilling down into details.

Managing multiple views

You can create as many analysis views as you need. This is useful when different stakeholders want to see different aspects of the data. Each view is independent and can be shared separately.

To switch between views, use the dropdown at the top of the Analysis tab.
