The donut chart is a circular statistical graphic, similar to the pie chart. It is divided into slices to show the numerical proportion of all the answer choices. With Survey2Connect, you get multiple designs, themes, and styles for the Donut chart widget.

Use of Donut Chart

Donut charts are used to show the proportions of categorical data, with the size of each piece representing the proportion of each category. The donut chart is pretty similar to the pie chart, except in the Donut chart the center portion of the circle is hollow.

The individual slice in the donut chart signifies the proportion of the individual data set stacked against the whole(100%). For example, if you have a question asking for feedback about the support provided by staff and you have three answer choices — Top 2, Mid, and Bottom 2, you can use a donut chart to showcase your data as to how each option is in proportion to the whole.

The options available are:
