Jotform Report: How can I display a poll based on my form submission data?

Hi there,

I would like to create a poll, where people vote for their favorite candidate based on selecting 1st,2nd, 2rd choice etc from a pulldown menu.

Can the report include the overall winner based on weighting for the different places?

Thanks,

Nina

Hi Nina,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. The poll results can be displayed based on how many times each selection is picked in the form. You just need to create a Jotform Report, but keep in mind that it will not display the overall winner alone. Instead, it will show a chart based on your preferred chart type, which visually displays which selection has the highest number of votes. This makes it easy to see the poll results and identify the leading candidate at a glance.

With Jotform Report Builder, you can easily generate visual reports that are based on your submission data. Let me show you how:

1. On your My Forms page, select the form that you want to create a report for.

2. Click on Reports at the top of the page, and then click on Add New Report.

3. Now, select Visual Report Builder, which will open Report Builder.

4. Enter a Report name and choose a Report Type.

5. Then, click on Create and that’s it. You’re done.

For the Extended and the Compact report types, Report Builder will automatically create a chart for each form field or widget on the form. We also have a guide about How to Create a Visual Report with Your Form Submissions that you can check out.

Give it a try and let us know if you need any help.
