Edit Themes

If you want to create your own themes based on specific words, you can customize the keywords that determine the themes used during clustering by editing themes or creating new ones. During the clustering process, the themes you create are emphasized more than automatically generated themes.

In the Topic Monitoring section on the Results tab, do one of the following:
- Click Go.
- Click Edit Themes in the Survey Tasks section on the Results tab that displays response themes for a question.
The Topic Monitoring Wizard opens.
Note: Response themes only display after clustering has finished and there are at least ten question responses for the survey.
Select a question from the Select a Survey Question drop-down list.
The question text appears below the menu.
Select Edit Themes/Keywords and click the Next.
The Edit Themes page opens in the wizard.
- The Edit Themes window is divided into two sections: Themes to Include and Previously Suggested Themes. The Themes to Include section displays a list of themes that are used in clustering. You can also add and import themes through this section.
- The Previously Suggested Themes section displays a list of themes that were created during the clustering process. Suggested themes change each time responses are clustered. However, you can prevent a suggested theme from being automatically modified by moving it to the Themes to Include section. See Include a Suggested Theme.
When you are done editing themes, click Next.
The Final Action page opens.
To close the Topic Monitoring Wizard and return to the survey without clustering responses, select Resume Survey Editing.
If you select the Resume Survey Editing option, changes made to themes are saved, but responses are not clustered. The next time you cluster responses, your themes are applied.
To cluster responses and return to the survey, select Cluster Responses.
Click Finish.
