userEducatorTime5 minutes

View and track your student survey submissions. Quickly see how many students have completed surveys, how many have started, and who might need extra prompting. Filter the report so you can focus on the information most important to you. Assign similar surveys annually and compare the reports year-over-year.

When you run a report on a survey your students have completed, there are three different views of the data available. You can view a visual summary of the results, a list of the questions in the survey with their results, and a view of all the data in one place in a table.

Read below to learn more about the views and a few tips and tricks for each.

Summary view

The summary view provides data visualizations, in the form of either a pie graph or bar graph, representing the count and percentage of students who have selected each possible response to a close-ended question (e.g. multiple choice or dropdown). Click a response in the legend of the graph to see which students selected the response.
