Report modules in Text Analytics reporting apps

Some Medallia Text Analytics modules may be integrated into Overview and Health Watch dashboards. The report modules for these dashboards are included in every Text Analytics reporting app, but must be added manually to the Overview and Health Watch dashboards.

When deciding which report modules to include in the overview dashboard, make sure to only include reports that are relevant to the user's role, and adjust topic visibility as necessary. There are recommended modules for the frontline manager, executive, and insights roles.

Frontline manager

Users with a frontline manager role use Text Analytics to answer these types of questions:

  • How can I track individual performance across my team?

  • What are systemic issues that are trending across a quarter or season?

Consider adding these modules to the overview dashboard for the frontline manager role:

Tip: Sometimes providing Text Analytics reporting to frontline users is not helpful. The biggest factor that determines whether an organization should enable Text Analyticsreporting at the frontline level is volume. Oftentimes at the frontline level (such as the store associate) there is not a high enough volume per week or per month to provide significant insights.

Executive

Users with an executive role use Text Analytics to answer these types of questions:

  • What are we doing well and where should we be focused for improvement?

  • What are new things that customers are talking about?

  • Why have my scores changed?

  • How can I check on something that I have heard about?

Insights

Users with an insights role use Text Analytics to answer these types of questions:

  • What are new things that customers are talking about?

  • How can customer comments answer an ad hoc analysis request that cannot be answered by structured data alone?

  • How can I react to, track and analyze new ideas, events, or promotions?

Modules for overview dashboards

The following modules are included in the Text Analytics reporting app, but are not assigned to one of the six dashboards included in the app. This section can help you:

  • Choose which modules to assign to the overview dashboards.

  • Decide which roles should view each module — frontline manager, executive, or insights roles.

Snapshot report modules help users decide where to focus improvement efforts by showing what is going well and what is not. Many of these modules appear similar at first glance, but each report includes different metrics and varying levels of detail.

The following modules report on topics based on volume. They are suitable for any role.

  • Top 5 Topics for Promoters by Volume (Column)

    Shows the top 5 topics promoters discuss

  • Top 5 Topics for Non Promoters by Volume (Column)

    Shows the top 5 topics non-promoters discuss

The next modules report on topic impact scores. The impact score is a statistical figure that is only suitable for high-volumes of data. Consequently, these reports are only suitable for insights teams, executives, and (when there is a significant comment volume) for line-of-business leaders. Frontline users usually do not have high volumes of responses, so there is not enough volume per topic to report on topic impact. In addition, exposing these reports can generate questions from frontline teams about how the impact score is generated, distracting them from the data.

  • Top 5 Topics by Impact (Column)

    Shows the top 5 topics by impact score

  • Bottom 5 Topics by Impact (Column)

    Shows the bottom 5 topics by impact score

  • Topic Impact by All Metrics (Table)

    Shows impact score breakdown based on multiple metrics (e.g. Professionalism)

  • Impact Score By Topic (Column)

    Shows the impact of different topics

These final snapshot modules report on topics based on sentiment. Use caution when exposing reports with sentiment to frontline roles, as these roles usually have low volumes of comments. Sentiment accuracy (even with the best-in-class sentiment model) is never 100%, and when there is low comment volume, users tend to focus on inaccuracies and, consequently, distrust the reports. If you do want to expose sentiment, reports should only use large time periods to ensure significant volume. 

  • Top 5 Topics by Positive Sentiment (Column)

    Shows the top 5 topics by sentiment

  • Top 5 Topics by Negative Sentiment (Column)

    Shows the top 5 topics by negative sentiment

  • Sentiment Distribution by Topic (Bar)

    Shows the sentiment breakdown for each topic

Trend report modules reveal changes in the frequency that customers discuss a certain subject. Users usually investigate any sharp increase in the discussion of a particular subject, as it can indicate a problem. These reports are highly detailed, so are geared towards insights teams, but can be useful for executives as well.

  • Dashboard Emerging Themes (Table)

    Shows the themes that have become more popular recently

  • Dashboard Emerging Topics (Table)

    Shows the themes that have become more popular recently

  • Topic Score Trend by Time (Line)

    Shows the topic score trends over time

    Tip: This module is used less often than other modules. It is sometimes added to the Discovery dashboard instead of the overview dashboard.

Insight report modules were designed to provide insights teams with all the metrics that are relevant to Text Analytics. Sometimes focusing on one metric is not sufficient, and insights teams can learn more from seeing them side-by-side.

  • Verbatim Processing Summary (Custom Viz)

    Shows the number of responses, % of responses with comments, % of responses without comments, and % of tagged responses

  • Topic Stats Combined by Time (Nested Table)

    Shows statistics about a topic (e.g. impact score, NPS, # of responses) by segments of time

    Restriction: Since the table is nested, sorting is not available.

Modules for Health watch dashboards

Health watch report modules provide information about the health of your Text Analytics program. Add these modules to an existing health watch dashboard, or create a new dashboard for them. These reports are most relevant to insights teams and corporate admins.

  • TA Reporting Usage by Role (Table)

    Shows the number of Text Analytics dashboard views by role

  • TA Reporting Usage by User (Table)

    Shows the number of Text Analytics dashboard views by user
