To help analysts visualize any patterns in user-entered text in an indicator, create a word cloud visualization in a text widget.

About this task

The Text widget provides a word cloud for visualizing the frequency of words and phrases.

1. Navigate to Performance Analytics > Widgets and click New.
2. In the Name field, give the widget a name that reflects the information being displayed.
3. In the Type field, select Text.
   If you change the value of Type after you fill in other fields, those fields are cleared.
   Word Cloud is automatically selected as the Visualization.
4. In the Indicator field, select the main indicator for which you want to analyze text.
5. (Optional) Fill in any of the following fields:

   Table 1.

   Field	Description
   Breakdown and Element	Only text that is associated with the specified element of the specified breakdown is analyzed. Select values for both Breakdown and Element. Otherwise, only text that is not associated with any element of the breakdown is shown.
   2nd Breakdown and Element	Drill down to a second level of breakdown and element, if a first-level breakdown and element have been specified.
   Follow element	Applies only when this widget is placed in a "breakdown dashboard." Select this option for the widget to follow the element that the user selects interactively on the dashboard. See Using breakdowns on dashboards. Selecting this option removes the ability to set a second breakdown and element on the widget.
   Follow breakdown	Breakdown dashboard configurations specify breakdown sources, not specific breakdowns. The same breakdown source can be used for multiple breakdowns. Therefore, select this option to set which of the possible breakdowns to follow. For example, consider the indicator Number of open incidents. This indicator uses two breakdowns: Assigned to, and Created by. Both breakdowns are based on the Users.Active breakdown source. You create a widget for this indicator and you select Follow element on this widget. You also need to select Follow breakdown and specify either the Assigned to or the Created by breakdown. This option is available only if Follow element is selected.

6. (Optional) Set any of the display settings.

   Field	Description
   Default field	If multiple fields are selected in the text index configuration, this field appears by default.
   Cut-off	Minimum number of occurrences of a word for it to be included in the cloud.
   Limit	Maximum number of words to show.

7. Click Submit.
