Share survey results publicly using a link

This method of sharing the results is especially useful if you want to share your collected data after your research ends, either on its own or along with a report. This is also a perfect feature for public polls and questionnaires, such as predictions for sports and games, political surveys for elections, or anything that has to do with public opinion.

The biggest advantage of sharing your survey data with using this method is that you do not have to keep the recipients up-to-date with latest changes in the statistics. Because you are sending them to a Live Analytics page, they will be able to see the survey results in real-time. Let’s say you send this link to your client or supervisor, and they can just keep themselves up to date with latest changes. It is an amazing feature and saves lots of time for you and for them.
