Devices, Referrer, Location

Based on the card selection, below Insights charts, we are displaying information related to the devices your respondents have viewed and submitted the form from, the referrers that have led them to your form and the location from which they have viewed & submitted the form from.

Device card

In the below example, the Views card has been selected in Insights. As such, the Devices card shows the information for views. For example, from Desktop, our form has registered 61 views (97% of total number of views registered on the form) and from Mobile we have 2 views (3% out of total number of views registered on the form). Also, you can hover on the pie chart to see exactly each slice data.

The entries are displayed in descending order based on the card’s selection (in this case, based on Views).

Devices card

Referrer card

Following the above example, our form has registered 3 different referrers that are placed in descending order based on the card selection (in our example, the Views card is selected). When hovering over the pie slice, you have the value for each referrer.

Note: if we can not detect a specific referrer (e.g: the form has been accessed/completed directly from the form link), then we are using the No referrer terminology. This is only one example and not limited to this scenario only.

Referrer card

Location card

Following the above example, our form has registered 3 different locations that are placed in descending order based on the card selection (in our example, the Views card is selected). When hovering over the map, we can see the country name and the data that belongs to it.

How does it help me?

Let’s say you have created your form and shared it with your respondents, but no submission is coming through. By using the Insights section, you can now check if your respondents have viewed your form or not so you can take action by following-up with them.

If your form has gathered a lot of views, but no submissions, maybe there is something that is stopping respondents from submitting the form.

Having a high average time to complete the form could be a warning for you: respondents might abandon submitting your form because it takes too long to be completed.

The number of users that interact with your form is quite important, as when compared with the total number of views, it tells you how appealing the form is, how much your respondents interact with it or only look at it and abandon submitting it. The number of abandons tells you that your respondents have interacted with your form, but something has prevented them from submitting it – either there is a problem with the form itself (wrong validations, Submit button not being displayed correctly, various reasons and scenarios) or your respondents have a different reason why they do not want to submit their information (here each case needs to be treated independently as it may vary from form to form).

By paying attention to all these details, you can improve your form so you can have as many submissions as possible and get value out of it.

Release dates

Insights section on US server is available for forms created after the 13th of July 2022.
On EU server, Insights section is available for forms created after 9th of November 2022.

Importing submissions

When you import submissions into your Submissions table, we are not able to track down the number of Views, User & Abandons. In this case, the number of submissions in Form Insights will be updated, but the rest of the stats will not suffer any modifications.
