The standard reports

Four standard reports are created for each new survey. (Surveys created prior to build 12.10 contain three standard reports)

• The Questionnaire report generates a top-line summary report showing the counts and percentages of responses in the questionnaire layout.
• The Summary report generates a chart, table or list for every question
• The Summary Tables report tabulates responses to all questions.
• The Summary Dashboard report is used to generate an HTML summary report with images of each chart, table or list for each question and displayed in a double column format. (This report is available for surveys created using build 12.10 and after.)

You can find these in the Reports window.
