Overview Dashboard

The overview dashboard gives you a bird’s-eye view of your Formspace activity so you can quickly understand how your forms are performing.

Accessing the overview

Section titled “Accessing the overview”

Click Overview in the sidebar. Formspace opens the Forms list by default after sign-in, so use Overview whenever you want the organization-wide activity summary.

Stats cards

Section titled “Stats cards”

At the top of the overview you’ll find summary cards that highlight your key metrics at a glance.

Forms

Section titled “Forms”

Shows the total number of forms in your Formspace. Click the card to jump to the forms list where you can create, edit, and manage your forms.

Responses

Section titled “Responses”

Shows the total number of submitted responses across all your forms, plus this month’s total and a comparison with last month. Click the card to open the Responses page, where you can search, filter, and open response details across your Formspace.

Recent submissions

Section titled “Recent submissions”

Lists the five most recent submitted responses across your forms. Each entry shows the submission number, form title, respondent email when available, and relative submission time. Click an entry to open the full response page.

Top forms

Section titled “Top forms”

Displays your five most popular forms ranked by total response count. Each entry shows:

  • The form’s rank and title.
  • The total number of responses.
  • Its percentage of all submitted responses, with a relative bar for comparison.

Click any form in the list to open it directly in the builder on the Submissions tab, where you can review the responses in detail.

If none of your forms have received responses yet, this card shows a “No responses yet” placeholder.

Daily responses chart

Section titled “Daily responses chart”

Below the stats cards, an area chart plots the number of responses received each day over the past 90 days. This helps you spot trends, identify spikes in activity, and understand how engagement changes over time.

  • Hover over any point on the chart to see the exact date and response count in a tooltip.
  • The X-axis shows dates (abbreviated as month and day), and the Y-axis shows the response count.
  • Summary values show the average per day and the totals for the last 7 and 30 days.
  • The chart automatically scales to fit your data — if you’re just getting started, even a handful of responses will be clearly visible.

Overview data can be delayed by up to one minute.

Using the overview effectively

Section titled “Using the overview effectively”

The overview is intentionally simple — it answers the questions you’re most likely to ask when you open the dashboard:

  • How many forms do I have? Check the Forms card.
  • How many responses have I collected? Check the Responses card.
  • What arrived most recently? Check Recent Submissions.
  • Which forms are getting the most traction? Check the Top Forms card.
  • Is response volume going up or down? Check the daily chart.

For deeper analysis, use the Responses page to search across forms, or navigate to individual forms and their submissions tables for form-specific filtering, saved views, and exports.
