As an Administrator, you can view a comprehensive report for a Crowdsource event while the event is active or after it closes. To protect anonymity, all results are presented on an aggregated level. The anonymity threshold can be customized, however our best practice recommendation is 5. If the anonymity threshold is not met for a particular demographic group or team, the platform automatically combines those responses with the next smallest group or team.
For multi-language events, results (including the infographic) are displayed in the preferred language defined in your user profile and exports show comments in their original languages along with translations.

Show % Positive By: A dropdown to filter the results of a heatmap that displays at the bottom of the screen.
Heatmap: A color-coded heatmap that shows you at a glance the distribution of positive, neutral, and negative responses within the audience.
If you hover over the lightning bolt icon (top), a popup displays the following information:
Ratings: Number of respondents who provided a rating for the question
Didn’t Answer: Number of respondents who did not provide a rating for the question
Respondents: Total number of respondents for the entire event
Note: The platform protects the anonymity of participants based on the anonymity threshold set by the organization. The most common threshold is 5 respondents. A respondent is a participant who responds to at least one question in the listening event.
Because the questions are not mandatory, a respondent can choose to answer some, but not all the questions. In the following example, the score displays even though there are only 4 ratings; however, there are 5 respondents. One respondent answered one or more other questions, but chose to not answer this particular question.
Click the Show % Positive By dropdown and select the demographic you want to use as a filter.
The heatmap updates to reflect the applied filter.

The crowdsource (open-ended) question in your listening event links to the voting. Through pairwise voting, responses are ranked and prioritized by the entire group. In this view there are two tabs: Answers and Themes.
In the Answers tab, you see the answers to the crowdsource question, sorted by rank. Each response also includes:
Win Likelihood: The probability that the comment will emerge as the #1 answer. It’s a measure of how strong/important the comment is.
