About the Response Rate Line Chart Widget

The response rate line chart widget displays the percentage of participants who responded to the pulse survey over time. You can add breakouts to this widget to see how response rates change for different employee groups, such as department, gender, location, or any other metadata you have included in your participant list.an example response rate line chart widget

Qtip: This widget type is only available for pulse projects. See the Widget Types and Project Compatibility table for more information.

Field Type Compatibility

Response rate line chart widgets are compatible with the following field types:

  • Text Set
  • Multi-Answer Text Set

Response rate line chart widgets can use participant metadata fields mapped as either a “Text Set” or “Multi-Answer Text Set.” The widget can only be filtered by metadata fields mapped as “Multi-Answer Text Set,” by org hierarchy filters, or by the “project start date” field.

The response rate line chart widget requires a few selections before it is fully set up:customizing a response rate line chart widget

  1. Hide overall results: Enable this option if you’d like to remove the “Overall” line from your widget. If you enable this option, you must add a breakout so your dashboard viewers have data to look at.
  2. Date group by: Choose how you’d like to group your data. You can group data by daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually.
    Qtip: This date is based on the pulse survey’s start date, not when the participant submitted their response.
  3. Break out by: Select the metadata breakout you’d like to use. You can choose to exclude a breakout if you only want to report on the overall response rate.
  4. Additional customization options: If desired, you can customize your widget’s appearance with the following options:
    • Show all values: Displays the exact value of each data point directly on the widget.
    • Show horizontal grid: Add horizontal grid lines.
    • Show vertical grid: Add vertical grid lines.
    • Show as spline: Use curved lines instead of straight ones.
