Create a Completes By Day report

This report displays a graphical representation of the number of times members complete the survey per day.

• When you create a Completes By Day report with a lot of data, the report includes a table that lists the number of complete counts for the last 10 days.
• All completion time calculations, except median, use a formula for calculation where only values within one standard deviation of the mean are used. This is because some people respond over a number of days, which skews the numbers.

Note: Results are based on your time zone.
