You can view visit data from the past 7 days for free. For extended historical data, upgrade to Tally Pro.
Our analytics system uses data aggregation for time frames longer than 7 days, which can reduce accuracy across all visit metrics. This can lead to missing or inconsistent details compared to shorter time frames, like the last 7 days.
Drop-off analytics
The
Question drop-off tab helps you understand where users leave your form, so you can identify friction points and improve completion rates.
Drop-off analytics is a Tally Pro feature.
Here’s what you’ll find:
- Form views: Total number of people who viewed your form.
- Started answering: How many respondents began filling out the form.
- Completions: How many respondents successfully submitted the form.
- Completion rate: The percentage of form viewers who completed it.
- Completion duration: The median time it took respondents to complete the form.
Below the summary stats, you’ll see a step-by-step breakdown of your form questions, including:
- Views per question: How many respondents reached each question.
- Answer count: How many respondents responded to that question.
- Drop-off rate: The percentage and number of respondents who abandoned the form at that step.
What is a drop-off?
A drop-off happens when someone views a question but exits the form without answering it. It’s the first unanswered question before they leave.
How is the drop-off rate calculated?
It’s based on the number of respondents who viewed a question and then exited the form without answering it.
Tips for reducing drop-off
A high drop-off rate may indicate confusion, friction, or lack of relevance. If you notice respondents are abandoning your form at a specific point, try these strategies to keep them moving forward:
🧠 Make questions easier to answer
- Rephrase long or complex questions for clarity.
- Mix question types to avoid repetition — alternate between open text and predefined choices.
- Reduce the number of required fields to lower the effort.
🎯 Keep it relevant and focused
- Use conditional logic to show only questions that matter to each respondent.
- Move sensitive or optional questions toward the end of the form.
- Split longer forms into multiple pages or steps to reduce overwhelm.
✨ Improve the user experience
- Enable the progress bar so respondents know how far they’ve come.
- Use engaging copy that feels conversational and welcoming.
- Design an attractive, user-friendly form.
- Pre-fill known information using hidden fields and answer piping to save respondents’ time.
