Create a Tag Frequency visualization

Use tags to create tables, charts, and tag clouds based on recurring themes in text answers.

Prerequisites:

Create a text analysis from Open End questions.

Tag a response with a keyword.

Add sentiment to a text response.

  1. In your text analysis, click the Visualizations tab at the top of the page.
  2. Click New Visualizations > Tag Frequency.
    Tip: You can click New Visualizations above or below an existing visualization.

    Result: The tags are displayed as a bar chart by default.
  3. Optional: Edit the visualization's title.
    By default the application uses the question text.

    1. In the View section, select a chart type:
      Button Chart type Description
      Bar Chart Displays the frequency of tags as horizontal, left-aligned bars.
