Use Tiles to Analyze Data
Tiles are the building blocks of your dashboard. You can create and customize charts using tiles, and rearrange them to compare, contrast, and combine your data.
There are several tile types you can use:
| Tile type | Description | Supported question types |
| NPS | Visualize Net Promoter® Score (NPS) over time; view the score distribution between Detractors, Passives, and Promoters; or, show the single score on your dashboard. | Net Promoter Score (NPS) |
| Average score | Track the average score across rating questions. View how the score has changed over time, or view how the rating breaks down. This tile works great for Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) use cases. | Rating |
| Single choice | Review responses from questions where survey takers had to choose a single option. View the distribution of answers to see how many people chose each option. You can merge answers in the chart if they use the same question text, or you can show each answer option separately. | Multiple choice Dropdown |
| Multi-choice | Analyze results from questions where survey takers could choose multiple options. View how many times each answer option was chosen. You can merge answers in the chart if they use the same question text, or you can show each answer option separately. | Checkboxes |
| Open text answers | Show open text responses in a list view. The most recently submitted responses display at the top of the list. | Comment Box Single Textbox Multiple Textboxes |
| Slider | Analyze results from the Slider question type. Track scores over time, or show just the average score. | Slider |
