How to Analyze Survey Results


Analysis of survey results is a real-time experience in Surview. As soon as respondents start submitting their responses you can start analyzing survey results. It’s a great idea to check through the summaries for each question to get a feel for how people have responded. Then, easily customize your charts, filter for specific information or compare results from different groups to help you uncover trends and insights that may not have been clear at first glance. For further analysis you can easily download your results in multiple formats.

The first thing you’ll see when you go to the Analyze Results tab is a summary of the results for each question. You can view summaries of each question and check the data trends of your survey responses.
