Filters allow you to accurately change the data to display in your tables and charts, this guide will help you master the different types of filters and their functions.

Top filters

There are 3 types of filters in this area.

  • The sentiment ones can be changed by selecting none, one or more or all of the sentiment pills in the Contributions section.
    In the Respondents section, they will allow the same with respondent Status.
  • The proposals one in the top right corner allows you to choose which proposal data you would like to see. Using this one will hide all the other columns in the table and all their charts in the charts tab.
  • The date filter is a new filter allowing you to show data for the whole length of a project or specific timeframes.
