Insights shows a result card for each question. The question type and available answers determine which charts and controls appear.

​
Read results by question type

​
Choose a chart view

Use the chart controls on a question card. Available views depend on the question:
  • Bar list: Compare counts beside each answer label.
  • Distribution bar: Compare the proportion of answers in each category.
  • Column chart: Compare counts across rating values or answer groups.
  • Graph: Examine the shape of a numeric or rating distribution.
Changing the chart changes the display. It does not change answers or ratings.

​
Inspect the answers

Select an available chart group or response total to open its answer details. For text questions, select the response count to read the original answers. The details remain within your review access and the selected stage and filters. Some numeric cards show statistics without a histogram. Those cards do not have individual-answer details. Use the original answers to check a chart or summary before you make a review decision.

​
Compare a target distribution

For supported Column chart and Graph views, use the target distribution control. Choose Even, Bell, Top heavy, or Custom, or turn the target off. A target curve is a visual reference. It does not change answers, assign ratings, or apply calibration changes. The target preference is saved in your browser.

3

Check the source answers

Read the summary, then select the response count to check the answers. Use Refresh summary when the page reports that responses have changed.

​
Minimum response counts

Peer and upward text summaries need at least three different reviewers. Self and manager text summaries need answers about at least two different reviewees. The counts apply to the selected question, stage, and filters. A smaller filtered group can have charts but too few answers for a text summary.

​
Changed or unavailable summaries

A summary can become out of date when submitted answers change. Refresh it to include the current answers. The existing summary can remain visible while the refresh runs. If generation fails, use the retry action. If the page reports too few responses, wait for more submissions or broaden the cycle filters within your access.
