Form: How to tally responses

    Asked on April 18, 2024 at 8:26 AM

    I have a form that i need to be able to upload and be digitized for responses as well as having the responses tallied along the way. I would love to upgrade my account but I need to be able to ask some questions (multi-tier) questions to see if my vision is doable. Unfortunately, this is time sensitive so I don't want to spend too much time messaging back and forth. Is there a customer support phone number? I have found another form site but I do not like the formats, etc. It is not as user friendly as yours. I LOVE jotform!

    Hi Shellie,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Glad to hear that you love our platform. Unfortunately, we don’t currently offer live phone support. If you have any questions, just reply to this thread, or you can create a forum thread from the Contact Us page. We’ll be happy to help you here in the forum.

    Can you explain more about what you want to achieve? Do you want to have a different column from the tables to tally all the submissions? Or do you want to show the number of responses from each field question?

    If you want to create a tally for each response, you can create a Report for the form submission. Let me walk you through it.

    1. In the Form Builder, click on the app menu tab on the upper left side of the page.
    2. Select Report Builder, then enter the name of the report on the pop-up window.
    3. Choose Blank as the type of report and then click the Create button. Form: How to tally responses Image 1 Screenshot 80
    4. In the Report Builder click Add Element on the left side of the page, then from the Form Fields, select the fields that you want to tally. Form: How to tally responses Image 2 Screenshot 91
    5. Click on the Gear icon of each field and from the Chart Settings, you can customize from the Chart Type how you want your report to look. Form: How to tally responses Image 3 Screenshot 102
    6. To download, just click on Download at the top of the page. Form: How to tally responses Image 4 Screenshot 113

    But, if you want to see your submissions, you can view them from the Jotform Tables. Let me show you how to do it:

    • In the Form Builder, click on the app menu tab on the upper left side of the page.
    • Click on Tables. Form: How to tally responses Image 7 Screenshot 146

    If this is now what you're looking for, can you please explain more of what you want to achieve? You can also send us a screen recording via Loom or a screen recording uploaded on Google Drive (share with us the link and change its privacy)so we can understand more about your goal.

    After we hear back from you, we'll be able to move forward with this.
