What it shows

Every NPS widget reads one Smiley Question set to 11 Smileys (NPS). See Smiley Question Type. Each answer in the time range is sorted into a segment:

Segment

Answers

Detractors

Answered 0 to 6

Passives

Answered 7 or 8

Promoters

Answered 9 or 10

The chart has three columns, labelled Promotors, Passives and Detractors and coloured green, yellow and red. Each column is that segment's percentage of all responses, on a scale from 0 to 100. It counts completed Results only, not deleted ones, whatever their approval state (Results awaiting validation count too). Each viewer sees only Results they can access, so two people can see different figures: see How access works in Mobaro.

The Net Promoter Score is the Promoters percentage minus the Detractors percentage. This widget doesn't show the score itself: use NPS Historic Score or NPS Score Development.

⚠️ Heads-up: Allow N/A answer on the NPS question means N/A answers are counted as Passives. They add to the responses and pull the score towards 0. Leave N/A off NPS questions for a standard score.

Frequently asked questions

How do the segments relate to the NPS score?

The score is the Promoters percentage minus the Detractors percentage. For example, 50% Promoters and 20% Detractors gives a score of 30. Passives count in the total but don't add or subtract.

Do N/A answers count?

Yes, as Passives, if the question has Allow N/A answer ticked. They lower both the Promoters and Detractors percentages.

Can I change the chart style or colours?

No. The widget is always a green, yellow and red column chart. You can rename it and change its filters.

Why can't I pick my smiley question?

Only 11 Smileys (NPS) Smiley Questions are listed. See NPS Historic Score.
