Textual responses to NPS surveys are one of the more common ways of understanding your clients’ pain. Using NPS themes, you can manually categorize your NPS textual responses using themes. This lets you organize and analyze NPS faster and generate more actionable insights so you can maximize your understanding of how your users are experiencing your application.
Note: Only English textual responses are supported. Non-English responses will be grouped under the Other theme.
View NPS themes and responses
- On the NPS page, search for and select a survey. The Overview tab displays the survey dashboard with the Promoters and Detractors NPS Themes widgets, which show:
- All themes created from textual responses of promoters and detractors.
- Number of responses per theme.
- Percentage of responses out of total responses, not including the Unassigned theme.
- There may be themes where there are only detractors and no promoters and vice versa.
- Use the dashboard filters to change the information displayed in the widgets.
