Survey

Powerful interactive ‘dot’ visualisation, good for exploring survey results and more

Updated 19 hours ago to v16.2.0 by Flourish team

How to use this template

This template is ideal for visualizing survey responses and other data where each row represents a discrete entity such as a person. It lets you animate dots into different views, including groups, bars, and – for geographic data – a map. It also allows you to compare different metrics in a grid view.

Data requirements

The survey template is ideal for datasets up to around 10,000 rows. Larger datasets will work, but perform more slowly.

You'll need a CSV or Excel file with a row for each person or entity that you want to visualize.

In the case of survey data, your CSV file should have:

  • a row for each person who took the survey
  • a column for each question in the survey or other piece of information about the respondent

Getting started

First, from your projects page, create a new Survey visualization. Open the Data view, go to the “Data” sheet and import your data to overwrite the current sheet. Then, on the right, update the column settings:

  • Set “Categorical columns” to point to any columns with categorical answers, i.e. text like "male"/"female" or "0-99"/"100-999"/"1000-9990". Type in the column numbers - e.g. A-C. These columns will appear in in the “Group by”, “Shade by” and “Compare” dropdown in the visualization.
  • Set “Continuous columns” to point to any columns with continuous answers, i.e. raw numbers, such as income or weight. These columns will appear in the “Size by” dropdown in the visualization.

If you switch back to the Preview view, you should now see your data in the survey.

Change the text displayed

It's quite common that you want to change text shown in the visualization - for example, you might have y and n as answers in your raw data, but want this to be displayed as yes or no in your visualization.

To avoid editing the raw data (which may make it harder to update later), you can use the “Label overrides” sheet. Simply type the values you want to change (e.g. y) in the first column and the values you want to show (e.g. yes) in the second column. The visualization should automatically update to show the new text.

Change the ordering of groups

It's also quite common that you want to change the order of answers, which by default will display alphabetically. For example, you might prefer to show groups for Yes, No, and Answer not supplied in that order.

To do this, go to the “Group order” data sheet, and fill in the heading of column A with the column name of the relevant question in the “Data” sheet. Underneath, type or paste in the answer values in the order that you'd like them displayed. Then, in the column settings panel, update “Order of answers” to point at column A.

You can repeat this for as many columns as necessary.

Bundle small groups

Sometimes you have a large number of categories that contain only a few dots each, which may clutter the graphic. If you enable the option to “Bundle small groups” then you can combine them into a single “Other” category.

Customise the popups

In the column selection panel, find “Metadata” and add any columns that you want to include in popups. Then, in the settings panel, ensure “Show popups” is checked, and edit “Popup contents” to include the columns, with column names in {{brackets}}.

The “Popup contents” is HTML, so you can include formatting, e.g. <strong>Name:</strong> {{Name}}, or even images if you include image URL in your data sheet.

If this isn’t working, check you're using the exact column names and that you haven't included spaces inside the brackets - so {{Name}} not {{ Name }}.

Let users filter the data

You can allow users to filter your survey results within the visualization - e.g. by year or another attribute.

To do this, in the column selection panel, set “Slider or menu” to the column you want to filter by.

Then, in the settings panel, choose “Control style” to specify the type of filter control you want - a button group, dropdown, or slider.

Grouped question

Survey data often includes grouped questions – i.e. those in the form "What food do you like (pick up to three)". In this model, the data sheet would typically include a column for each possible answer with a yes or no answer. The template allows you to group these questions together to enable you to compare the frequency of the positive answers.

When grouping by such a question, the number of dots may increase, because each survey respondent may appear multiple times – one for each positive answer. Because of this it's not possible to shade by a grouped question.

To create a grouped question, use the “Answer Groups” sheet. Put in the question you want to create in the first column, the column header for each sub-question in the next column, the display name for the group in the following column, and finally the way a positive answer is seen – e.g. “y” or “1”.

Display your data on a map

If you have country names in your data, you can display the data on a map without doing much extra work. Just ensure that the “Geographic columns” setting points at the column with country names in it, and that your country names match the “Countries” sheet.

If your data has other geographic locations, such as city names, you'll need to do a bit more work! First, ensure that the “Geographic columns” setting points at the column with locations in it. Then replace the “Countries” sheet with your geographic locations - you'll need latitude, longitude and name columns.

If you're adding a custom map, make sure to add it in an equirectangular projection and add the bounding box.

To change the default position displayed on the map, you'll need to create a Flourish story. Inside the story, click the map view, then zoom to the position you want to display: the slide will save the position. Publish the story to share it with your users.

Template data

There are three different formats in which you can supply data to this template. The most convenient for you to use likely depends on the source of your data, as described below.

1. Array of arrays, and a bindings object

You can supply arrays of arrays to opts.data, which might look like:

{
    data: {
        questions: [
            [ "QuestionsColumn1Value1", "QuestionsColumn2Value1",
            [ "QuestionsColumn1Value2", "QuestionsColumn2Value2",
            [ "QuestionsColumn1Value3", "QuestionsColumn2Value3",
            ...
        ],
        order: [
            [ "OrderColumn1Value1", "OrderColumn2Value1",
            [ "OrderColumn1Value2", "OrderColumn2Value2",
            [ "OrderColumn1Value3", "OrderColumn2Value3",
            ...
        ],
        labels: [
            [ "LabelsColumn1Value1", "LabelsColumn2Value1",
            [ "LabelsColumn1Value2", "LabelsColumn2Value2",
            [ "LabelsColumn1Value3", "LabelsColumn2Value3",
            ...
        ],
        colors: [
            [ "ColorsColumn1Value1", "ColorsColumn2Value1",
            [ "ColorsColumn1Value2", "ColorsColumn2Value2",
            [ "ColorsColumn1Value3", "ColorsColumn2Value3",
            ...
        ],
        places: [
            [ "PlacesColumn1Value1", "PlacesColumn2Value1",
            [ "PlacesColumn1Value2", "PlacesColumn2Value2",
            [ "PlacesColumn1Value3", "PlacesColumn2Value3",
            ...
        ],
        answer_groups: [
            [ "Answer_groupsColumn1Value1", "Answer_groupsColumn2Value1",
            [ "Answer_groupsColumn1Value2", "Answer_groupsColumn2Value2",
            [ "Answer_groupsColumn1Value3", "Answer_groupsColumn2Value3",
            ...
        ]
    }
}

where each array of arrays represents the rows in a data sheet.

To tell the API how the values from each column should be associated with the keys that the template is expecting, you must also supply an object attached to opts.bindings. (The meanings of the keys in the bindings object are documented below.) The minimal bindings you can supply for this template are as shown in this example:

{
    template: "@flourish/survey",
    version: "16",
    bindings: {
        questions: {
            
        },
        order: {
            
        },
        labels: {
            label: 0, // index of a column in your data
            replacement: 1, // index of a column in your data
        },
        colors: {
            question: 0, // index of a column in your data
            answer: 1, // index of a column in your data
            color: 2, // index of a column in your data
        },
        places: {
            latitude: 0, // index of a column in your data
            longitude: 1, // index of a column in your data
        },
        answer_groups: {
            group: 0, // index of a column in your data
            question: 1, // index of a column in your data
            display_as: 2, // index of a column in your data
        }
    },
    data: {
        questions: [
            [ "QuestionsColumn1Value1", "QuestionsColumn2Value1",
            [ "QuestionsColumn1Value2", "QuestionsColumn2Value2",
            [ "QuestionsColumn1Value3", "QuestionsColumn2Value3",
            ...
        ],
        order: [
            [ "OrderColumn1Value1", "OrderColumn2Value1",
            [ "OrderColumn1Value2", "OrderColumn2Value2",
            [ "OrderColumn1Value3", "OrderColumn2Value3",
            ...
        ],
        labels: [
            [ "LabelsColumn1Value1", "LabelsColumn2Value1",
            [ "LabelsColumn1Value2", "LabelsColumn2Value2",
            [ "LabelsColumn1Value3", "LabelsColumn2Value3",
            ...
        ],
        colors: [
            [ "ColorsColumn1Value1", "ColorsColumn2Value1",
            [ "ColorsColumn1Value2", "ColorsColumn2Value2",
            [ "ColorsColumn1Value3", "ColorsColumn2Value3",
            ...
        ],
        places: [
            [ "PlacesColumn1Value1", "PlacesColumn2Value1",
            [ "PlacesColumn1Value2", "PlacesColumn2Value2",
            [ "PlacesColumn1Value3", "PlacesColumn2Value3",
            ...
        ],
        answer_groups: [
            [ "Answer_groupsColumn1Value1", "Answer_groupsColumn2Value1",
            [ "Answer_groupsColumn1Value2", "Answer_groupsColumn2Value2",
            [ "Answer_groupsColumn1Value3", "Answer_groupsColumn2Value3",
            ...
        ]
    }
}

All possible bindings that you can supply are shown in this example:

        questions: {
            categorical: [0, 1, ...], // index(es) of column(s) in your data
            continuous: [2, 3, ...], // index(es) of column(s) in your data
            geo: [4, 5, ...], // index(es) of column(s) in your data

        },
        labels: {

            longitude: 1, // index of a column in your data
            names: [2, 3, ...], // index(es) of column(s) in your data
        },
        answer_groups: {
            group: 0, // index of a column in your data
            question: 1, // index of a column in your data
            display_as: 2, // index of a column in your data
            affirmative_answers: [3, 4, ...], // index(es) of column(s) in your data
        }
    },
    data: {
        questions: [
            [ "QuestionsColumn1Value1", "QuestionsColumn2Value1",
            [ "QuestionsColumn1Value2", "QuestionsColumn2Value2",
            [ "QuestionsColumn1Value3", "QuestionsColumn2Value3",
            ...
        ],
        order: [

            [ "Answer_groupsColumn1Value2", "Answer_groupsColumn2Value2",
            [ "Answer_groupsColumn1Value3", "Answer_groupsColumn2Value3",
            ...
        ]
    }
}

2. Array of objects with arbitrary keys, and a bindings object

This format is most likely useful when you have data from an external source, such as CSV data loaded from d3-dsv. You should supply this attached to the opts.data, which might look like:

{
        questions: [
            { "QuestionsHeader1": ..., "QuestionsHeader2": ..., ... },
            { "QuestionsHeader1": ..., "QuestionsHeader2": ..., ... },
            { "QuestionsHeader1": ..., "QuestionsHeader2": ..., ... },
            ...
        ],
        order: [
            { "OrderHeader1": ..., "OrderHeader2": ..., ... },
            { "OrderHeader1": ..., "OrderHeader2": ..., ... },
            { "OrderHeader1": ..., "OrderHeader2": ..., ... },
            ...
        ],
        labels: [
            { "LabelsHeader1": ..., "LabelsHeader2": ..., ... },
            { "LabelsHeader1": ..., "LabelsHeader2": ..., ... },
            { "LabelsHeader1": ..., "LabelsHeader2": ..., ... },
            ...
        ],
        colors: [
            { "ColorsHeader1": ..., "ColorsHeader2": ..., ... },
            { "ColorsHeader1": ..., "ColorsHeader2": ..., ... },
            { "ColorsHeader1": ..., "ColorsHeader2": ..., ... },
            ...
        ],
        places: [
            { "PlacesHeader1": ..., "PlacesHeader2": ..., ... },
            { "PlacesHeader1": ..., "PlacesHeader2": ..., ... },
            { "PlacesHeader1": ..., "PlacesHeader2": ..., ... },
            ...
        ],
        answer_groups: [
            { "Answer_groupsHeader1": ..., "Answer_groupsHeader2": ..., ... },
            { "Answer_groupsHeader1": ..., "Answer_groupsHeader2": ..., ... },
            { "Answer_groupsHeader1": ..., "Answer_groupsHeader2": ..., ... },
            ...
        ]
    }

... but with the keys being the column headers from your source data instead. You must also supply an object attached to opts.bindings. The minimal bindings you can supply for this template are as shown in this example:

{
    template: "@flourish/survey",
    version: "16",
    bindings: {
        questions: {
            
        },
        order: {
            
        },
        labels: {
            label: "LabelsHeader1",
            replacement: "LabelsHeader2",
        },
        colors: {
            question: "ColorsHeader1",
            answer: "ColorsHeader2",
            color: "ColorsHeader3",
        },
        places: {
            latitude: "PlacesHeader1",
            longitude: "PlacesHeader2",
        },
        answer_groups: {
            group: "Answer_groupsHeader1",
            question: "Answer_groupsHeader2",
            display_as: "Answer_groupsHeader3",
        }
    },
    data: {
        questions: [
            { "QuestionsHeader1": ..., "QuestionsHeader2": ..., ... },
            { "QuestionsHeader1": ..., "QuestionsHeader2": ..., ... },
            { "QuestionsHeader1": ..., "QuestionsHeader2": ..., ... },
            ...
        ],
        order: [
            { "OrderHeader1": ..., "OrderHeader2": ..., ... },
            { "OrderHeader1": ..., "OrderHeader2": ..., ... },
            { "OrderHeader1": ..., "OrderHeader2": ..., ... },
            ...
        ],
        labels: [
            { "LabelsHeader1": ..., "LabelsHeader2": ..., ... },
            { "LabelsHeader1": ..., "LabelsHeader2": ..., ... },
            { "LabelsHeader1": ..., "LabelsHeader2": ..., ... },
            ...
        ],
        colors: [
            { "ColorsHeader1": ..., "ColorsHeader2": ..., ... },
            { "ColorsHeader1": ..., "ColorsHeader2": ..., ... },
            { "ColorsHeader1": ..., "ColorsHeader2": ..., ... },
            ...
        ],
        places: [
            { "PlacesHeader1": ..., "PlacesHeader2": ..., ... },
            { "PlacesHeader1": ..., "PlacesHeader2": ..., ... },
            { "PlacesHeader1": ..., "PlacesHeader2": ..., ... },
            ...
        ],
        answer_groups: [
            { "Answer_groupsHeader1": ..., "Answer_groupsHeader2": ..., ... },
            { "Answer_groupsHeader1": ..., "Answer_groupsHeader2": ..., ... },
            { "Answer_groupsHeader1": ..., "Answer_groupsHeader2": ..., ... },
            ...
        ]
    }
}

3. Array of objects with template-defined keys

There is an alternative format you can use, which is likely to be easier to use if your data is not from a spreadsheet source. With this alternative format you supply your data to the template as an array of objects, attached to opts.data, where the keys must be those used by the template, as documented below. In this case there is no need to supply a bindings object, since the key names are already those expected by the template. The required properties in the data object are as follows (scroll down for a description of what each property is):

{
    template: "@flourish/survey",
    version: "16",
    data: {
    questions: [
        {
            categorical: [...],
            continuous: [...],
            geo: [...],
            metadata: [...]
        },
        ...
    ],
    order: [
        {
            categories: [...]
        },
        ...
    ],
    labels: [
        {
            label: ...,
            replacement: ...
        },
        ...
    ],
    colors: [
        {
            question: ...,
            answer: ...,
            color: ...
        },
        ...
    ],
    places: [
        {
            latitude: ...,
            longitude: ...,
            names: [...]
        },
        ...
    ],
    answer_groups: [
        {
            group: ...,
            question: ...,
            display_as: ...,
            affirmative_answers: [...]
        },
        ...
    ]
},
    ...
}

And the full list of all possible properties is as follows:

{
    template: "@flourish/survey",
    version: "16",
    data: {
    questions: [
        {
            categorical: [...],
            continuous: [...],
            geo: [...],
            label: ...,
            column_filter: ...,
            id: ...,
            metadata: [...]
        },
        ...
    ],
    order: [
        {
            categories: [...]
        },
        ...
    ],
    labels: [
        {
            label: ...,
            replacement: ...
        },
        ...
    ],
    colors: [
        {
            question: ...,
            answer: ...,
            color: ...
        },
        ...
    ],
    places: [
        {
            latitude: ...,
            longitude: ...,
            names: [...]
        },
        ...
    ],
    answer_groups: [
        {
            group: ...,
            question: ...,
            display_as: ...,
            affirmative_answers: [...]
        },
        ...
    ]
},
    ...
}
