You can analyse responses to a Multiple Choice survey question using a Bar chart, Pie Chart or Table when you use the Surveys App. (You can measure improvement over time - Distance Travelled - when you use a Progress Board)

Steps

Requirements:

  • Multiple Choice charts are turned on by default for every survey

  • However if they have been turned off for your survey, they will not appear

  • If they are turned off, that is not a problem. You simply need to turn them back on again and this will automatically visualise your responses using charts, even if the responses were collected while the charts were turned off. (How to turn on Indicator charts)

How many projects?

When you are analysing results across a single project, you can simply go to the Survey Campaign page. However if you want to analyse results across several projects, you should use Multi-Project Analysis.
