Go to: Creating a New Survey

Dashboard Tab

The Dashboard tab provides a high-level view of responses across selected survey topics. You can select a specific survey from the dropdown list to view real-time results. Key data points include:

• Average Scores per Topic: Each survey topic (e.g., Developer Experience, AI-Assisted Development) is assigned an average score based on participant responses (1–5 scale).
• Total Score: The overall average score across all selected topics.
• Participants: Total number of individuals who submitted a response.
• Quotes: Number of free-text comments provided.

Clicking a topic opens a detailed breakdown:

• Each survey statement is listed with its average score.
• Icons display how many people answered and how many left a comment.
• Click the arrow on the right to expand and view a visual distribution of answers (Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree), as well as any open-text responses.

When viewing a survey with multiple teams or groups, a heatmap appears below the main results. This allows you to compare scores across all participating teams, highlighting areas that may need follow-up or discussion.
