Overview

After respondents submit a form, Datadog automatically stores their answers and makes them available for review, analysis, and visualization. You can view raw responses in a table, get AI-generated summaries and visual analytics by question type, or query response data in a dashboard.

View responses

To view form responses, from the Forms page, click a form, then click Responses.

Each component displays a corresponding response analysis block, which may include an AI-generated summary, raw individual responses, and visual analytics that vary by component type (for example, bar charts for dropdowns and checkboxes, distribution charts for ratings).

Note: Datadog stores responses in Datastores.
