Fields Insights

We are glad to announce that Fields Insights section is now available. As you got used to Form Insights section, you might wonder what exactly does Fields Insights.

How to get to Fields Insights?

Firstly, let’s see how we can navigate to Fields Insights. From My Forms, you can click on the dotted menu and navigate to Results. From the Editor, you can simply click on Results in the header menu. Results section is split into three: Insights, Submissions and Reports.

Insights section is split into two subsections:

a. Form Insights – here you can find stats related to your form: Views, Submissions, Submission rate, Avg time to complete, Users & Abandons, together with a more detailed analysis that takes into consideration the devices, locations and referrers of your respondents.

b. Fields Insights

What is Fields Insights?

Fields Insights is our newest section of the product. Here you have access to the performance of each question that is currently on your form.

Fields Insights

Let’s take each row one by one to explain it better.

All questions appear in the order they are added on the form – thus the numbering on the left side of the tabel. Under Field name, we have the suggestive icon for each type of field. For example, the first question is Text content field, so we are displaying the suggestive icon for Text content field.

You might notice that some fields have the red asterisk attached. This is because those fields are marked as required on the form. For example, Child’s Name and Parent’s name are fields marked as required on our form:

Required field on form

The third column is called Views. When hovering over the info bubble, you will notice that Views shows the number of respondents who interacted with the question. Each time a respondent interacts with a field (clicks within in, types something, selects a choice, etc), we are counting 1 view towards that question.

Views Fields Insights

The fourth column is called Drop-off. When hovering over the info bubble, you will notice that Drop-off shows the number of respondents who interacted with a question, but did not provide an answer to that question. For example, a respondent types something, but deletes the entire answer. Or selects a choice from a single choice question, but then clears the choice.

Drop-off fields insights

Note: the top three questions that have the highest drop-off rate are marked distinctively in the Fields Insights table. This is meant to help you determine which questions are abandoned by your respondents. As such, you can go back and make the necessary adjustments to your form in order to collect more data & submissions.

As an example, for the Grade question, we have 3 interactions with the question and 1 drop-off, so a 33% drop-off rate per that question.

Drop-off rate Fields insights

The fifth column is called Time on field. When hovering over the info bubble, you will notice that time on field shows the average time spent by your respondents to provide an answer to each question. This can help you determine where your respondents can get stuck and where they spent the most time thinking of an answer.

Important notes

Exceptions

There are some fields that are excepted from showing in Fields Insights, such as Embed video & Embed PDF. The main reason for this is that the respondents’ actions onto these types of fields are hard to track.

Time to register events

It takes up to 60 seconds to register the events your respondents perform on each type of field in order to get accurate data in Fields Insights

Order of fields

There might be cases in which the order of the fields in Fields Insights is not the same as visual order of the fields from the form. For example, when you have 3 fields on the same row and 3 fields underneath them, the order in Fields Insights might be skewed. Below you can find an example:
