How to Read a Summary Report

A summary report of survey responses, as the name suggests, provides an overview and analysis of the survey response data. SurveyOL's summary report feature allows you to view and analyze your response data in a concise and organized manner, offering valuable insights.

How to read a summary report:

1. On the Dashboard page, click on the Result link for your survey.
2. On top of the Summary Report page, it shows how many responses have been received, the completion rate, and the typical time spent in seconds. The typical time spent is the median time length for completed responses. If none of the responses are completed, it shows "-".

   

3. Except for Text, Image, Text A/B Test, and Image A/B Test questions that don't require answers, every question comes with stats including "answered #" (how many times it is answered), "skipped #" (how many times it is skipped), a response chart and/or a response analysis.
