FAQ: Why Didn't Keyword Topics Generate At Company Level?

FAQ: Why Didn't Keyword Topics Generate At Company Level?

Background

Keyword topics group comments into themes based on common keywords, enabling organizations to analyze large groups of comments.
A dashboard must meet both conditions for topics to generate:
  • Questions from 2 active drivers. Example: The Growth driver question and a custom driver question from Company questions.
  • At least 200 comments across all kinds of question sets over the last 3 months for 1 language.

Considerations

Even if a dashboard meets the second condition, it won't meet the first condition if the survey uses questions from 1 driver and 1 subdriver rather than 2 drivers.
If you run a pulse survey with questions from the company question set, topics will only generate if you split the questions across 2 or more drivers.
For the purpose of keyword topics, the engagement core question works as a driver and the outcome questions work as subdrivers.
The topic algorithm only includes the latest comments over the last 3 months.

Examples

This table contains various survey scenarios with different questions and number of comments.
Scenario
Result
1 Remote work subdriver question.
2 company driver questions.
1 open ended question.
1000+ comments in English.
Topics will generate, because the survey used 2 driver questions (company driver), and has more than 200 comments in 1 language.
1 Autonomy driver question.
1 Peer relationships driver question.
300+ comments in Spanish.
Topics will generate, because the survey used 2 driver questions (Autonomy and Peer relationships), and has more than 200 comments in 1 language.
1 company driver question.
No prior survey rounds in the last 3 months.
2000+ comments in English.
Topics won't generate, because the survey used only 1 driver question (company driver).
If the company has 2 custom company driver questions, they can split them into 2 drivers as a workaround. In that case, topics will generate.
4 subdriver questions across various drivers.
3 open-ended questions.
1 company driver question.
5000+ comments in German.
Topics won’t generate, because the survey used only 1 driver question (company driver). All other questions are subdrivers or open-ended questions.
Main engagement question.
1 company driver question.
300+ comments in French.
Topics will generate, because the survey used 2 driver questions (main engagement question and company driver).
