Responses Insights

Responses

Insights

Views, starts, completion rate and time to finish for every form, plus drop-off and answer breakdowns per question on Premium.

Open a form's Responses tab and switch to Insights. It's worked out from your responses each time you open it, so it's always up to date.

The headline numbers

Available on every plan:

Number What it counts
Views Opens of the form page. Every load counts, so one person opening the link twice counts twice.
Starts Responses where someone answered at least one question, with the share of views that became a start.
Completions Responses that reached an ending, with the completion rate: completions as a share of starts.
Median time to complete From the first answer to submitting, for completed responses. The median, so one person who left the tab open overnight doesn't skew it.

Views are counted when the form page actually loads for a respondent, so a closed form, or a password page someone didn't get past, doesn't count as a view.

Question by question

Each question gets a card, in the form's own order, with how many people answered it, and:

  • Drop-off: how many partial responses stopped here. A question where many people stop is usually too hard, too personal, or unclear. On a one-page form, a response stops at the first question on its path left unanswered.
  • Choices, Yes / No, dropdowns, ratings and scales: a bar per option with its count and percentage, in the question's own order rather than sorted, so a rating's bars read like a scale.
  • Numbers, ratings and scales: the Average, Lowest and Highest answer.
  • Rankings: each choice's average position, listed best first.
  • Matrices: a grid showing, for each row, how many people picked each column.

Breakdowns only include completed responses, so a half-finished response doesn't tip the numbers.

Free-text answers, email addresses, dates, files and other identifying answers aren't summarized here. Read them in the responses table, or ask AI insights to find the themes in free text. A Number marked as Personal data is encrypted and left out of Insights too.

Date range

Choose Date range to narrow Insights to Last 7 days, Last 30 days, Last 90 days or a Custom range. Days are whole days in UTC.

Responses are counted on the day they were started, so starts, completions, drop-off and answers all describe the same group of people. That's why a completion rate can never go over 100%, even when someone starts on Monday and finishes on Tuesday.
