Tracker Datasets and Waves
If you have Waves added to your Tracker dataset, the Content Page will look slightly different than a traditional dataset.
If you are viewing a Tracker dataset, the Content Page Tool Bar will include a special section to filter by specific Waves. Choose from filtering on All Waves to view all the combined data, or select a specific Wave to only see data pertaining to that Wave.
Similar to the Questions dropdown, all of your edits will take into account the wave you are filtered on.
To learn more about Tracker Datasets and Waves, read here.
Additionally, the Treemap will no longer be the default chart you see on the page. Instead, all Tracker datasets are now greeted by default, with our brand-new Linear View chart. This is helpful to analyze change over time. To learn more about how to use the Linear View Graph, click here.
Please note, that you will still have the option to toggle between the Treemap you are used to seeing and the new Linear View chart.
Exploring Emotional and Topical Drivers In-Detail
You can use the Content Page to automatically analyze your dataset's open ended responses. You can understand the topical themes from the questions asked, as well as the emotional responses to those themes.
To start, click on the Questions button on the left of the Content Page. Select the question you want to analyze from the drop down list - these will be the labels on the tabs or columns of the document you uploaded.
Additional Options
1. Edit: Click on the Edit icon to modify your Question labels or Dataset details.
2. Switch to Multiselect: Click on this option to select more than one question at a time.
Choosing "How do you feel about Geico" from the All Questions option will display emotional and non-emotional responses to this specific open-ended question.
1. Edit options: Rename and Edit Questions and Waves in your Dataset and Dataset details.
If you switch to the Questions tab, you will be allowed to rename the questions that are in your dataset.
If you switch to the Waves tab, you will be allowed to rename your Waves, delete them, and add more Waves to your dataset.
On the MRX tab, you can edit the Name of the Dataset, update the Description, change the Industry or Type, and add or remove Tags. Click on Save when you are finished with your changes.
Once you have selected your question, you will see the total number of Open Ends that are associated with the question and the number of Open Ends with Codes, Topics, and with Emotional Reactions. The percentage next to each number is how many Open Ends with Codes/Topics/or Emotions there are out of the Total amount of Open Ends associated with the Question.
For the example below, when looking at the Open Ends with Emotions, the Reaction Rate (which can also be thought of as the measure of audience passion or Emotion Rate), is 82.4%. There were 314 OE's with Emotions out of the 381 OE's for the Question, which equals 82.4%.
Highlights help you immediately and in plain language understand the biggest, most statistically significant takeaways from their open ended responses. To learn more about highlights, click here.
You can view the specific Emotions associated with the responses in the Emotion Map. Click on any Emotion to look at verbatim responses for what was driving each emotion.
Using Canvs MRX to Analyze Topics Driving Audience Responses
Toggle between the Topics and Emotions views on the map to look at what people are talking about vs. how they feel. The Topics map will show all responses that include a topic or theme, regardless of whether they are emotional or not.
Use the Threshold slider to update the Topics Map to see more or less Topics at a time. You can exclude Topics that fall below a percentage that you set between 1% and 5 %.
You can utilize a combination of the Emotion map and Topics section on the bottom left of the page (the Rankers section) to see what Topics were driving Emotional Reactions. You can see both the emotional and the non-emotional topic analysis of the responses.
The bar chart breaks down the most frequent topics and phrases people used when responding to the question you are filtered on. The orange section of the bar shows how Emotional each Topic was, the blue displays the non-emotional response, and the entire bar represents the total amount of times the Topic was mentioned.
For the above examples, zoom in to see how audience members felt about the Topic of the “Geico”. You can click the bar to see the precise emotional breakdown and verbatim responses that mentioned that Topic.
You can even see demographic data about the respondent in the verbatim section as well as the Emotion and Topics associated with that response. Important: To get the demographic information to appear, you would have to select filters "Age", "Race", "Gender" (labeled exactly), during your Upload process.
Open End Section
If you want to look for specific Open Ended responses, you can utilize the Free Text Search on the Open End verbatim list. You can type anything in the Search bar and press Enter to find all responses that include an exact match.
With the Free Text Search, you can type in any word or phrase, including Emotions, Non-Topical words, etc.
Bulk editing will be triggered when you've entered a search string. You can easily edit your filtered set as needed.
Open End Filters
You can use the filter option to look at all Open Ends that may or may not have Topics, Emotions, or Codes. You can even choose to filter on Favorites. These filters (Emotions, No Emotions, Topics, No Topics, Codes, No codes, Only Favorites, Not Favorites) will help you select a list of Open Ends quickly so that you can make edits as needed.
Selecting Open End filters will allow you to bulk edit as well.
Note: Open Ends over 300 characters will be included in the dataset, but Topics and Emotions will not be automatically applied.
Reprocessing Data
Canvs now offers the ability to reprocess a dataset (Autocodes & Rule Codes), Topics, and Emotions with the latest version of Canvs AI and your Rules.
Important: Any previous changes made to the dataset (e.g. renaming topics, moving codes to a different net, removal of emotions, etc.) will be removed. Edits will not be reapplied to your dataset and are not recoverable.

While your Dataset is reprocessing, edits are locked - you will not be able to make changes to your Dataset. All Metrics will be recalculated upon completion.
MRX Exports are also locked during reprocessing.
On the MRX Manager, while your data is reprocessing, “Edit details” and “Download analysis” options will be disabled for the dataset.
Once reprocessing is complete, you will see a notification asking you to refresh Canvs.
Export Options in Canvs MRX
With Canvs MRX, you can export data and images for offline use. There are various types of export options:
Complete Analysis Export
To export all details about your dataset, click Export and then Complete Analysis.
You will be prompted to download the file when the export has finished running. Click Download here.
The downloaded Excel spreadsheet contains detailed dataset information, including questions, data filters, verbatim responses and all associated Topics, Emotions, Codes, and Nets.
In addition to showing all Responses and their analysis, the Complete Analysis also features Code Rankings, Topic Rankings, and Emotion Rankings.

Also on the Content page, a few of the Exports have been modified to include the original foreign text. The first is the Open Ends export which is above the Open Ends list.
There are three new columns: language, original text, and original text language.
Another Export that received this improvement is the Complete Analysis export available via the Export dropdown on the top of the Content page.
