Average score

CSAT is calculated by dividing the sum of all responses by the total possible
maximum scores. The average score displays the average Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT)
normalized to a percentage. It also provides a period-over-period growth calculation in
comparison to the previous period.



Score breakdown

Score breakdown shows the distribution of survey responses by rating score.



Survey funnel

This card tracks the survey engagement pipeline from conversations to
responses.
The survey funnel shows the number of surveys sent versus the number of
responses and comments received, allowing you to determine your response rate,
including:

Total conversations
Surveys sent
Surveys answered
Surveys answered with comments




Survey responses

Displays a detailed table of individual survey responses. Agents can be the
original score recipients (default) or those with the most replies in the ticket, based on
the dashboard parameter selection.

Survey responses include the following fields:

Date
Agent name
Response comment
Rating score
Predicted drivers (survey response score insights)
Comment size classification (short, mid-length, long, very long)
Custom fields (available in the export file for eligible accounts)




Word cloud

mentioned in survey comments.

channel, conversation source, or conversation tag) through dashboard parameters. Use the
"Select chart attribute" option under Display settings.



Survey and conversation metrics over time by attribute

This card displays your survey scores over different time periods (daily,
weekly, monthly, quarterly) and compares them to your targets. It also shows the number of
responses.
