Summary
Read a form's answers question by question in Summary: how many people picked each option, the average of a slider, the latest text answers with a search for each question, and how many files and book
Summary reads the answers to one form question by question: how many people picked each option, the average of a slider, the latest things people wrote. It sits next to Responses at the top of the form's Submissions page, so you no longer need to download the CSV and rebuild those numbers in a spreadsheet.
Step 1: Open the form's Submissions page and click Summary.
What Summary counts:
Every response to the form, completed and partial, until you filter. Filters you set on Responses come along (they live in the address bar), show as chips above the cards and can be removed there. See Filter & sort responses.
One card per question, in the order of your form. Message and Reveal steps collect nothing, so they get no card.
Each card shows its number, the question and how many responses answered it, for example 23 of 27 answered. A question nobody answered reads Nobody has answered this question yet.
Choice questions
Single choice, Multiple choice and Dropdown questions get a bar per option.
Each bar shows the share of the people who answered the question, and how many they were.
The most chosen option comes first. An option nobody picked stays in the list at 0.
An option you removed from the form still shows, under its stored value, if someone picked it before.
On a question that allows several picks, a note reminds you that People could choose more than one option, so the percentages can add up to more than 100%.
Click a bar to open Responses filtered to the people who chose that option.
Slider questions
Average shows the mean of the answers, with one decimal, and the slider's unit label when it has one.
The bars show how many people gave each value. When there are more than ten different values, the bars group them into ten equal ranges.
Text and contact questions
Short text, Long text and Website questions list the latest five answers under Latest answers, each with who answered (their name, email or phone, else Anonymous) and when. Show more adds ten more.
Name, Email and Phone questions show only the count and the search box. The answers appear when you search, so a summary never turns into a list of people.
Search answers looks through that one question as you type. It ignores upper and lower case but not accents, so gomez does not find Gómez. The card then shows Matches: 3, or No answer contains "gomez". Press Esc to clear the box.
Click an answer to open the whole response in the response panel, at that question. The panel's arrows then walk the answers listed in that card. See Submissions for everything the panel shows.
Files and bookings
A File upload question shows how many responses included a file: Files uploaded. To open the files, use Responses. See Uploaded files.
A Scheduler step shows how many meetings were booked: Meetings booked.
When there is nothing to show
A form nobody has answered shows No submissions yet / Responses will show up here as people complete the form.
When your filters match nothing, you see No responses match these filters / Remove a filter, or clear them all, to see more., with a Clear all button.
💡 Tip: Summary has no Download CSV button. Switch to Responses to download the same filtered responses. See Export to CSV.
