Field Lists

The Color, Date, Number, and Text fields accept free-form data entry from the form’s users, so data can’t really be tabulated for these fields. Instead, they’re presented as a simple list of responses. However, since the number field includes validation to ensure that only numeric data are entered, some summary statistics are compiled: average, sum, minimum value, and maximum value.

Color field entries are displayed as a simple list of responses.

Pie Charts

The Select from List and Single Selection fields accept only one entry selected from a list of choices. A pie chart is displayed to show the proportion of users’ selections.

Single Selection entries are displayed in a pie chart.

Bar Graphs

The Multiple Selection field accepts multiple entries for one selection request (e.g., Select the toppings for your sandwich). The proportion of selections is displayed in a horizontal bar graph.

Multiple Selection entries are displayed in a horizontal bar graph.

The Grid field accepts a single entry for each of multiple related questions (e.g., Rate these Sylvester Stallone movies as Good, Bad, or No Opinion). The proportion of selections is displayed in a vertical bar graph, with bars grouped by question.

Grid entries are displayed in a vertical bar graph.
