Responses

The Responses tab analyzes your dataset one field at a time. Where the Documents tab shows whole records, Responses takes a single field and shows every record's answer to it, side by side with an automatic chart of that field.

Each answer is a "response" — hence the name. It is one of up to three tabs for the same dataset — Documents, Responses, and Overview — all reading the same published records, just through a different lens.

Why use the Responses tab?

Responses is where you move from browsing to analyzing a single question across your whole dataset. From here you can:

• Focus on one field and see every record's answer to it in a single list.

• See an automatic chart of that field alongside the answers.

• Break a field down by a second field to compare groups.

• Jump into any answer to read it in its source document.

Understanding the interface

The tab has two parts:

• A left sidebar with three sub-tabs — Fields, Filters, and Breakdown.

• A main area split in two: a scrollable list of all responses on the left, and a chart of the selected field, pinned on the right.

Choosing a field

The Fields sub-tab lists every field you can analyze. Pick one, and both the response list and the chart update to that field.

The response list is headed All Responses (N), and each row shows the record's actual answer to the field, read-only, along with the record's title and date.

The visualization

What the chart looks like depends on the type of field you selected.

For choice and number fields (dropdowns, radio buttons, checkboxes, tags, and number fields):

• You get a bar chart by default, and can switch it to a pie chart.

• Number values are grouped into ranges.

For open-text fields (rich text, summaries, and free text):

• You get an AI summary of all the answers by default, or thematic annotations and attributes

Breaking down by a second field

The Breakdown sub-tab lets you cross-tabulate the selected field by a second, categorical field — a dropdown, radio, checkbox, or tags field. The chart re-runs, grouped by that second field, so you can compare across groups.

Use Clear Breakdown to return to the single-field view.

Interacting with the results

The response list and the chart work together:

• Click a response row to open that record in a new tab, jumped straight to that field.

• Click a bar, slice, or cell in the chart to add it as a filter — click it again to remove it. Everything re-queries to match the slice you have selected.

The Filters sub-tab holds the same automatically generated filters as the other tabs, and your selections carry across Documents, Responses, and Overview within a session.

How Responses differs from Documents

Both tabs read the same records; they differ in what you are looking at.

Aspect	Documents	Responses
What you see	Whole records, one per card	One field's answer, across every record
Best for	Browsing and finding records	Analyzing a single field
Chart	None	Always paired with one
Clicking a record	Opens the record	Opens the record at that field

Tips for working in Responses

• Start with the field you most want to understand — the whole view is built around one field at a time.

• Use Breakdown to compare groups (for example, a rating field broken down by region).

• Click chart segments to filter, rather than hunting through the response list by hand.

• For open-text fields, sense-check the AI summary against the actual answers before relying on it — treat it as a starting point, not a final read.
