The GroupSolver Free Text report illustrates verbatim respondent data given during a study. One would refer to the Free Text report if they wanted to ask an open-ended question that would not need to go through our Consolidation and Evaluation phases. For example, if one were to ask, “what is your position in your company?” there would be no need for other respondents to evaluate and “agree” or “disagree” with any answers given. Free Text very straightforwardly delivers the study’s verbatim responses in a word cloud style for simplistic reading.
​

To open a Free Text report, navigate to the top of your Study design and click "Reports." This will open an overlay with all reports that have already been created within the study. Click the Text question you would like to analyze and select "Freetext."

The steps above will open the report that was automatically generated and includes "All completes" as the starting segment. If you want to create a new report with a different starting segment, click on the question you would like to analyze and click "Add new."

You can view the verbatims in the Word Cloud representation or the table view underneath.

The verbatims are color-coded to improve readability. On top of that, they are of different sizes based on the number of respondents that the particular verbatim received. You can view the respondent count in the table beneath the Word Cloud.

There are two ways to sort the table underneath the chart.

The first is to click on the two arrows above the chart. This will open the sorting options. Here you can add or remove various sorting options.

The second is to click the column label in the chart table. The example below shows that the data is sorted by the Letter in ascending order and by the Support Strength and Total Expected Support in descending order.

To filter your data, click on the filter icon above your chart. This will open up the filtering options. To add a new filter, click "Add filter" in the top-right corner of the drop-down menu.

If you want to view the answers to only a specific demographic, click on "Data" above the chart. This will open a drop-down where you can manage the segments.

If you want to change a segment, click "All completes."

Note: Learn more about managing segments in our Building Segments article.

If you want to change the report's name, you can do so in the Chart Options under "Title."

To exclude verbatims from the chart, click the crossed-out eye and select each verbatim you want to hide on the chart.

Similar to other reports and visualizations, you may change the report to your liking, then, to export the data, click the “download” icon at the top. Press “Table to clipboard” to paste the data into a spreadsheet. Press “Print slide” to print an image of the chart and data as is.

You can delete the chart and all its saved options by clicking on the Bin icon.
