Remove a Keyword Topic

Remove a Keyword Topic

Access to comments.
In some instances, certain topics might not be helpful in understanding the themes from employee comments. Removing a topic from the dashboard stops the word generating topics in the future. You can also provide feedback on the reason you're removing a certain topic, to help the algorithm in learning to generate more meaningful topics in the future.
If an administrator removes a topic, they remove it from all contexts and manager views.
If a manager removes a topic, they remove it only from their own view, providing flexibility to focus on topics that help them interpret their employees’ comments.
Removing topics works across languages. Example: If you remove the word
Feedback
 in English, but it also displays as a topic in French, you remove both versions. This process is only the case for exact words across languages.
It's not possible to remove a topic from semantic topics, because Peakon predefines the available themes for semantic topics.
  1. Go to the
    Topics
     page in the left sidebar of the
    Insights
     tab.
  2. Open the dashboard of the topic and click the trash icon or hover over the topic extract on the main topics page and click the trash icon.
  3. Click
    Yes, remote it
     to confirm.
Excluding a topic also stops its theme and extract from displaying on the
Topics
 page.
An
Excluded topics
 section displays at the bottom of the main
Topics
 page, if you have removed any topics.
It's possible to undo excluding a topic, however it won't regenerate topics for the existing round. Removing an excluded topic enables WPEV to generate it as a topic again in future survey rounds, if it meets the required criteria.
To undo a topic exclusion, click
Edit excluded topics
, then click
Remove
 next to an excluded topic.
