About Results Dashboards

Results dashboards are designed to give you a quick and simple visualization of your survey results. Each question in your survey will have a visualization pre-made for it. However, there are many customization options available to you to help you build a dashboard to fit your needs.

To access results dashboards, click Results in your survey project.

The main features of results dashboards include:

Highlights the parts of the dashboard including page panel, visualizations, and settings

  1. Click the page title to view the pages in your dashboard, including a list of widgets on each page. You can also search for widgets by name, create and copy pages, and switch between existing pages. Click the pin icon to keep the page list displayed while you view or edit your dashboard.
  2. On the right you’ll see the widgets for the selected page. These display your survey data in easy-to-digest charts, graphs, and tables. See Results Dashboards Widgets for an overview of available widget types.
    Attention: These widgets are the same as the widgets available in CX dashboard projects.
  3. The editing icon allows you to edit your dashboard pages. Entering editing mode allows you to create new widgets, edit existing ones, and apply page filters.
  4. The settings gear allows you to select a theme or manage your public dashboard.
  5. The download button lets you export your dashboard in various ways; you can download your dashboard as a file, send your dashboard as an email, or schedule recurring emails of your dashboard.

Creating & Copying Results Dashboard Pages

    • Blank Page: Generates a new blank report page.
    • Private Page: Generates a new blank private report page. This private page will only be visible to you.
    • Report Page: Generates a new default report page. Before the page is created you will have the opportunity to configure a default metric and chart type, as well as other customizations for the report page. For more information, see Customizing Report Pages.

Mapping Results Dashboard Fields

“Mapping” refers to editing the names and formats of the fields in your dashboard so you can choose how to best visualize that data. The type assigned to each field determines what kind of widget you can use with that data.

Example: The numeric feedback customers provide when they rate your product on a scale from 1-10 is different from the open feedback they provide where they tell you what thoughts and opinions they have. Numeric data is best suited to graphs and tables, but feedback should either be listed out in its entirety or have key terms displayed in a word cloud.

To learn more about field types and the widgets compatible with them, see Field Types & Widget Compatibility (CX). Since this is a CX Dashboards page, keep in mind that the list of widgets available in results dashboards may differ.

Survey questions have default mappings that cannot be edited. These default mappings can help you understand what widgets are compatible with each question. See Table: Default Field Types for Each Question.

If you want to edit other results dashboard fields, use the Field Editor in Data & Analysis. See Editing Custom Fields.

Using Results Dashboard Filters

You can filter your entire results dashboard to remove data you don’t need. For example, in the below image, we filter our results to show dissatisfied customers since we are interested in analyzing only their data.
