Responses summary

The following section of LimeSurvey focuses on responses and statistics creation. Once accessed, the summary page is displayed by default:

The first table is called "Response summary" and displays the following:

  • Full responses - the number of surveys submitted by your respondents (by clicking the "Submit" button located on the last page of your survey
  • Incomplete responses - the number of surveys that have not been completely filled out by your respondents


Help.pngIn the Responses table, the incomplete answers are response records with no submission date. Such a record can occur when a participant uses the resume later function, or when an operator uses the data entry functionality to fill out a survey without submitting the answer, or when a participant fails to complete the survey because he/she just left.


  • Total responses - the aggregated number of complete/full and incomplete responses


If you make use of the survey participants option, then a summary of the survey participants-related data is displayed on this page below the "Response summary" table:
