About Categories
Imagine your employee survey asks your participants to rate your company on concepts related to integrity. You’d like to combine all these questions together into one integrity score to display on your dashboard, but how? By using Categories, you can group different sets of questions and metadata together for aggregate reporting.
You can manage your categories by going to the Settings tab and selecting the Categories section along the left.
Creating Categories
Managing Categories
- Click Manage Categories.
- Click and drag the reorder icon next to each category to change the order that these categories appear when you load them into widgets.
- Click the gray X next to a category to delete it.
- Rename a category by typing in the field.
- Click Save when you’re finished with your changes.
Qtip: Have a lot of questions and metadata? Use the search function to narrow down which statements you want to manage. By clicking Filter, you can even choose to only view and manage statements belonging to a certain category.
Assigning Categories
- Click directly on each of the questions or metadata you wish to add to a category, or click Select All to highlight all questions and metadata.
Qtip: The field types compatible with categories are Number Set and Numeric Value. - Click Assign Category.
- Select a category to assign the chosen statements to.
Once you assign a category to a statement, it will show up in dark grey to the right of that statement. If you hover over the category name, an X will appear. Clicking this will remove the category from that statement.
You can assign as many categories as you want to any given statement.
Widget Compatibility
The only widgets that are NOT compatible with categories are the following:
- Image Widget
- Rich Text Editor Widget
- Participation Summary Widget
- Word Cloud Widget
- Response Rates Widget
- Response Ticker Widget
Categories tend to behave a lot like Number Set fields when it comes to widget compatibility. Categories can be pulled into any of the widgets not listed above, either as the main field or as an additional metric. Categories cannot be used in page filters or widget filters.
The Scorecard Widget only displays data from categories and will not work if you do not have any set up.
