Adding Visualizations

You can add visualizations from a few different spots.

  1. Click Insert on the menu bar to add a visualization to the end of the page.
    Insert button in the Reports toolbar expanded to full menu
  2. Click a visualization and then one of its Insert buttons to add a visualization above or below the existing one.
    Insert buttons above and below every visualization

Once you click Insert, a menu will open up, giving you several options for how you insert your visualization. What component is set first is based on the selection you make.
Insert menu expanded on a visualization

  1. Choose the question, Embedded Data, or survey metadata providing the visualization’s data first. If you choose this option, then you will need to set the visualization type manually. The options of visualizations will only be those compatible with your choice.
  2. Click Other Projects to choose the project the data is coming from first. This option is best if you’re pulling data from another survey.
  3. Choose the visualization or type of object to insert first. If you choose this option, then you will need to set the visualization’s data source manually. Text Areas and Images don’t require data sources.
Qtip: Adding a visualization to a report does not guarantee that data you’ve collected is compatible with it. For example, Heat Map visualizations are only compatible with Heat Map questions. If your survey only contained Multiple Choice questions, you will not be able to put a data source into a Heat Map visualization.
