How do I create a trend chart?

A trend chart is used to display the data collected during the last 3 survey periods concisely. It even displays different question types! Simply select which questions you'd like to have displayed and see how the data has developed over time.

When creating the chart, feel free to select a mixture of different question types. These will be displayed according to the amount of answer options that each contains, but also in the order in which they appear in the survey.

The results of the selected period filter and the 2 periods previous to this will be displayed. For example, if you are currently viewing May's data, both March and April's data will also be shown:

• Today/Yesterday: “22.01.2022”, “23.01.2022”, “24.01.2022”
• Based on survey periods or custom filter: “22.01. - 05.03.”, “08.03. - 15.03.”
• This month/ Last month: “September”, “October”, “November”
• This Quarter/ Last quarter: “Q1”, ”Q2”, ”Q3”
• This Year/ Last year: “2022”, “2023”, “2024”
