Chart grouping and measure types

Chart Grouping

Every survey interaction in Mindful Feedback contains a list of standard and custom attributes to provide context. You can use survey attributes to group survey responses in Dashboard charts if the attributes meet the criteria for a grouping key (low cardinality) and have been selected for this purpose.

Attributes that have been selected for chart grouping (Settings > Customer Settings > General Settings tab) will appear in the Grouped By dropdown menu at the top of some charts. With grouping applied, the chart will reflect the responses summarized and grouped by the selected attribute.

For example, the following Number Response chart has been grouped by Call Type:

Note:
  • Grouping keys are refreshed once every 24 hours.
  • The custom attributes available in reporting filters are refreshed every six hours

Chart Measure Types

To the right of the Group By menu is the Measure Type dropdown menu. The table below describes the available measure types.

MeasureDescription
MeanThe mean (average) of all responses for each question
Normalised MeanThe mean response as a percentage of the maximum response for each question
  • For example, if the mean response was 4 on a question with a max response of 10, the normalized mean would be 40 (because 4 is 40% of 10). However, if the mean response was 4 on a question with a max response of 5, the normalized mean would be 80.
Net PositivityDerived from the percentage of responses that lie above the middle of the question scale less the percentage of responses below the middle of the scale
  • (% responses above middle) - (% responses below middle) = Net Positivity
  • For example, if the question max response is 5, we take the percentage of all responses which answered 4 or 5 and subtract the percentage that answered 1 or 2, ignoring the percentage that answered the middle value of 3.
  • If the max response is an even number, there is no middle integer, so the Net Positivity stat is simply the percentage of answers in the top half of possible responses less the percentage in the bottom half.
NOTEThis is the most common way a Customer Effort Score (CES) question is measured.
Top PercentThe percentage of responses for which the response was above the middle of the question scale
  • For example, if the scale is 1 to 5, then this represents the percentage of responses of 4 or 5.
MaximumThe highest response given
MinimumThe lowest response given
Sum TotalThe sum of all responses
CountThe total number of responses received
Tip:

If you have a survey with multiple number questions and you set the measure type to count, you can see how many customers responded to each question to understand where respondents tend to abandon a survey.
