**Reports › Live Chat › Pre-Chat Survey** · **Reports › Live Chat › Operator/Survey** · **Reports › Live Chat › Chat/Survey Detail** · **Reports › Live Chat › NPS Survey** · **Reports › General › Overall Survey Detail** · **Reports › General › NPS Survey** · **Reports › General › Event Surveys** · **Settings › Events › Surveys** · **Settings › General Settings › Admin**

## What it is

Survey reports show customer answers alongside their conversation and operator context. **NPS Survey** groups responses into promoters, passives and detractors and calculates a Net Promoter Score. Pre-chat answers and event surveys have separate reports.

## Who uses it and why

Supervisors review feedback and identify conversations needing follow-up. Operators with the **Reports** role inspect feedback on handled conversations. People with the **Settings** or **Manager** role maintain survey questions and scoring.

## Where to find it

Under **Reports › Live Chat**, choose **Pre-Chat Survey**, **Operator/Survey**, **Chat/Survey Detail** or **NPS Survey**.

Under **Reports › General**, choose **Overall Survey Detail**, **NPS Survey** or **Event Surveys**. Manage surveys at **Settings › Events › Surveys**.

## How it works

Choose the report, dates and available operator, team, platform or conversation filters. Select **Apply Filters**.

- **Pre-Chat Survey** shows information submitted before a chat, including configured custom fields.
- **Operator/Survey** associates question answers and scores with operators and conversations.
- **Chat/Survey Detail** and **Overall Survey Detail** show the recorded answers with conversation information. The overall report offers a platform selection.
- **Event Surveys** reports survey activity associated with visitor events.

Detail includes the question, answer and score where available. A conversation can contain several questions, so inspect question identity before counting rows as customers.

**NPS Survey** uses the recorded NPS scores to form these groups:

| Group | NPS score |
|---|---|
| Promoters | 9 or 10 |
| Passives | 7 or 8 |
| Detractors | 0 to 6 |

To calculate NPS, subtract the detractor count from the promoter count, divide by the total across all three groups, then multiply by 100. It ranges from -100 to 100. The overall report breaks results down by platform and calculates its total from the combined response counts.

The NPS date range selects when survey responses were submitted, which can be later than the associated conversation's start date.

## Configure it

With the **Settings** or **Manager** role, use **Settings › Events › Surveys** to maintain questions and answer scores. Use a compatible 0-to-10 NPS question when you want an NPS result.

Powerfront can change **Use actual score for NPS survey** for you. It affects the score shown for NPS questions in applicable detail reports. The standalone **NPS Survey** calculation does not depend on that display switch.

### Settings

| Setting | Where | Applies to | Default | Who can change it | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Use actual score for NPS survey | Settings › General Settings › Admin | website | Off | Powerfront, on request | Shows the actual NPS answer in the score column of applicable survey-detail reports instead of the reported survey score. |

### Permissions

| Permission | Lets you |
|---|---|
| Reports | View survey detail and NPS reports. |
| Can view Customer PII and Conversation Data | View protected contact information in applicable pre-chat survey results. |

## Limits and good to know

- No feedback does not mean a zero rating. Inspect the response count alongside a score.
- A displayed NPS of zero can mean balanced promoter and detractor counts or no counted responses. Check the group counts.
- Response counts, response rates, average scores and NPS are different measures.
- Different questions can use different score scales or categories. Compare like questions and scoring schemes.
- The reports display whole-number NPS, which can differ slightly from subtracting rounded displayed percentages.
- Customer survey feedback is separate from operator QA or AI scoring.

## FAQ and troubleshooting

### Why does the score differ from the answer?

An answer can have a configured numeric score. Powerfront can enable actual NPS answer display for applicable detail views.

### Why are there several rows for one conversation?

The survey can contain several questions or recorded answers. Check the survey and question identifiers before counting responses.

### Why is NPS different from the average survey score?

NPS compares promoter and detractor proportions on its 0-to-10 scale. An average survey score uses the configured answer values.

### Why are pre-chat contact fields masked?

Protected fields depend on **Can view Customer PII and Conversation Data** and field classification. Ask someone with the **Settings** or **Manager** role to check your account permissions.
