Once data is entered in your feedback form you can view it as a report or as a chart. The chart is a graphic way of showing how the data is distributed, it is an analyzing tool and you can view your data using a chart or let others view it that way.
If, for instance, you have a feedback form with a field called 'feedback type' in it (which has 3 values: thanks, complaint, other).
You may want to create a chart based on this field and see how many people contacted you and complained versus the others who were satisfied.
Steps to create this chart:
1)Choose the 'New Chart' option from the 'Report & Chart' section in the toolbar of the form builder.
2)Choose the field you want to base your chart on, in this case 'feedback type'.
3)Field formula – leave this field empty.
Field formula can be used to create more complex charts, but it requires a numeric field and so if you do not have a numeric field in your form this field will not be useful to you.
In our example there was no numeric field in the form and so choosing a field formula was not possible.
4)Formula- there are three formula options: count, sum and average. Count is a formula which can always be used, as opposed to 'sum' and 'average' which may only be used when a numeric field formula is chosen.
Leave the 'count' formula selected.
5)Style - Choose one of the many styles listed: point, bubble, pyramid, pie, area, etc according to how you want to see the data.
6)3D - checkbox that determines if the chart has a 3d effect or not.
7)Image Type - Choose from one of image types listed. you may view the chart as a static image such as JPG image or as a dynamic flash image.
8)Press 'Apply'.
Please notice that the chart settings may be changed at all times by choosing the 'Edit Chart' option.

How to create the feedback form?
Let’s get practical – Following are a few simple steps to help you create your feedback form using a form builder:
1- Make a plan. Decide on the data you wish to collect and the way you want your form to look and make a written plan. What data is important to you? Do you want to collect the form fillers name? is important for you to get his address? Do you want the user to categorize what the contact purpose is or will you be satisfied with him describing the purpose freely in a multi row free text field?
What would you need to do in order to nicely embed your form in your website? Would you want the form to have a certain background color? Font family and size? Would you want to add an image to the form?
These questions are important in order to decide on the fields you want to create.
2- Enter the form builder and set the form name and size in the form settings on the right.
on to the design area:
3- start dragging the elements:
Name field – Textbox element
- Drag a textbox for collecting the form filler’s name. Go to the element settings on the right and change its caption to “name”. Set the tab index number to “1″. Press on “apply”.
- Drag a label element and place it next to the textbox. Change its text in the label’s settings to “name”. Press on “apply”.
Email field – Email element
- Drag an email element for collecting the form filler’s email address. Place it below the name textbox you dragged earlier. Go to the element settings on the right and change its caption to “Email”. set the tab index number to “2″. Press on “apply”.
- Drag a label element and place it next to the textbox. Change its text in the label’s settings to “Email”. Press on “apply”.
Feedback Subject field – Textbox element- Drag a textbox element for the subject. Change its caption and tab index as you did in the previous elements.
- Drag a label element and place it next to the textbox. Change its text in the label’s settings to “subject”.
Feedback description field – Textarea element- Drag a textarea element for the message field. Change its caption and tab index as you did in the previous elements.
- Drag a label element and place it next to the textarea. Change its text in the label’s settings to “description”.
4- Add a submit button to the form
5- Save the form
6- Press on “preview” (in the general tobar-5th icon from the left) in order to check the form.
7- Publish the form in order to embed it in your website/direct people to it.
