The Trends dashboard displays data for answers to quantitative questions (metric questions) over a period of time. Quantitative questions are yes/no, numerical, or rating scale questions. Text questions will not appear in your Trends reporting, nor will one time metric questions—called Polls. Each trend is initially displayed as an average to track how a company, group, or individual are answering a certain question over time.
Note
Account administrators will have access to all quantitative answers and any additional qualitative answer given. Reviewers will have access to their hierarchy's quantitative answers and any person in the company that they follow.

Trends filtering
There are several ways to filter and view the data in your Trends dashboard. Remember, you’ll only be able to see the answers of the 15Fives that you have permission to view unless you are an account administrator.
- Filtering by group: You are able to filter the dashboard to view only questions/answers from a certain group within the company.
- Active trends: Active Trends are questions that are currently being asked in a live 15Five
- All trends: Clicking on the All trends option will display every metric question that has been asked throughout the organization.
- Sort by: Sorting by the oldest question gives you the best trend analysis - as often these questions have been asked the most. You can easily change this to sort by the newest question or alphabetically.
