# Aggregated summary

See how everyone answered each question, with counts, charts and drop-off, find the questions people leave at, and get a short AI summary of the answers.

## Open the summary

Open a form’s [Submissions](https://formstep.io/docs/submissions-analytics/submission-inbox/) tab and click **Summary**.

The Summary view, one block per question.

## AI summary

At the top of the Summary view, the AI summary recaps what the answers add up to: a headline and up to three points, such as which questions go together and where people split. Only your team sees it here.

The AI summary at the top of the Summary view.

- Press **Generate summary**. It reads the responses from the form’s share links and uses about 2 [AI credits](https://formstep.io/docs/ai/ai-credits-usage/).

- The summary never updates on its own. When new responses come in, the block says how many, and **Generate again** writes a new one from all of them.

- AI reads only the totals. It never sees a single response, a name or a written answer.

- To show the summary to respondents as well, switch it on in the form’s [live results](https://formstep.io/docs/building-forms/live-results/#ai-summary).

## What each block shows

| Metric | What it tells you |
| - | - |
| Responses | How many people answered. |
| Viewed | How many people reached the question. Pro and Business. |
| Drop-off | How many saw the question and left. Pro and Business. |
| Answers | A chart or list, depending on the question type. The switch at the top right of a block changes the view. |

Viewed and drop-off are recorded only while the workspace owner is on Pro or Business. A question with a high drop-off is the one people leave at: change it, publish, and compare the next responses.

## Charts by question type

| Question type | Shown as |
| - | - |
| Radio, Checkboxes, Dropdown, picture choice | A bar per option with its share and count, or a table |
| Star Rating | The average, then a bar per star count, or a list |
| Linear Scale | The average, then a column per step with an average marker, or a list |
| Ranking | Options from best to worst, with the average place and how many put each first, or a list |
| Payment | Totals per currency, or a list of payments |
| Toggle Switch | The share of Yes and No, and how many left it blank |
| Matrix / Grid | A grid with the share of each column per row, or a list of answers |
| Text, Email, Phone, URL, Number, Date, Time | The latest 50 answers |
| File Upload, Signature | Counts only |

A [repeating group](https://formstep.io/docs/building-forms/repeating-groups/) is one block with its number of items and a small block per question.

## Filter and arrange

Search filters questions by title, and the **Status** and **Share link** filters work as in the List view. The sliders icon hides and reorders questions.

In a chart, the option most people picked gets the full color. A matrix grid adds up to 100% per row, and a stronger tint means more people chose it, as the Fewer and More legend under the grid shows.

The summary counts the latest 5,000 submissions. Export to count every response.

## Export the summary

The download button exports the summary as CSV or Excel. See [Exporting submissions](https://formstep.io/docs/submissions-analytics/exports/#summary-export).
