Text Visual

Review long text data to uncover patterns, sentiments, and context.

The Text visual shows long text data such as responses from employee surveys, comments from a performance review or job descriptions. Each card in the visual represents text that was received during the selected period.

Text responses can provide context, help validate, and explain quantitative findings. Combining quantitative metrics with qualitative narratives allows for a more comprehensive and compelling understanding of the data. Analyze text to uncover patterns and sentiments for better decisions.

How to explore the visual to gain insight

  1. In the visual title, select the text you want to analyze. For example, in Visier, all survey responses are contained in Employee Survey Responses.
  2. Apply the required filters to see the text. Only 1 member can be selected for each required filter.

    Filtering by the Survey Event ID and Survey Event Question Description attributes allows you to view responses to a specific question within a particular survey. For example, all responses to the question "How are you currently feeling about working at your company?" from the June 30, 2021 engagement survey.

  3. Use the Time picker to change the time period or granularity based on when the text was received or submitted. In the preceding example, filtering to the year 2021 ensures that responses from the survey distributed on June 30, 2021 are captured.
  4. If available, click Add a Filter on the Analysis Context toolbar to add optional filters and view text for a specific population such as Sales. The available filters are set by your administrator, which may be limited to a predefined list. For more information, see Filters.

Your administrator controls how long text data is analyzed, including the required and optional filters. For configuration details, see Create a Text Concept.
