About Word Cloud Widgets
The Word Cloud widget allows you to quickly see and filter your dashboard based on open-ended text responses. It displays words from Open Text fields in a specified color with more frequently used words appearing larger than less frequently used words. Word cloud widgets automatically apply lemmatization to your responses so you can visualize your responses by their key words. For example, “transforming” and “transformed” would both appear as the base word, “transform.”
Field Type Compatibility
Only Open Text field types can be used in Word Cloud widgets.
Widget Customization
For basic widget instructions and customization, visit the Widgets Overview support page. Continue reading for widget-specific customization.
Each Word Cloud can visualize a single open-ended question at a time. After adding the widget, click on the Text Source dropdown menu and select the open ended question you want to use. If desired, you can select multiple open text fields by enabling Use default field selector when editing your widget. See the below section for more information.

Then, the Default Text Source dropdown will appear, allowing you to decide which of your multiple text sources shows up as the default when someone enters or refreshes the dashboard.
