Viewing the Survey Results Overview

The Survey Results – Overview page provides frequencies, percentages, and access to subjective answers. Frequencies provide a count of each response for each question (e.g., 5 yes answers and 15 no answers). Percentages show what portion of the whole these counts represent (e.g., 25% said yes and 75% said no). Subjective answers (where users type their response in a text box) are totaled and can be viewed with the click of a button.
