If I want to analyze* certain topic and it´s posts, one option would be if I export topic and it´s posts to the excel. But it seems it isnt possible?

Is there any workarounds for this kind of usecase?

*= tone, pick up ideas/feedbacks etc.

Morning @revote 

In the Analytics section of Control there is the option to export to csv the data.

You can chose the POST export and time range. You will then have:

  • Each post WITH the original Topic title (so you can narrow down onto the one you want)
  • Ranks and Roles
  • Usernames
  • Time between replies

Hope that helps,

 

Alistair

Thanks @Alistair FIeld. Hmm, I think I have tested this already and it doesnt include the post (=content) itself. Maybe I have to test this again 🙂

ahhh.. OK. in that case you are right. The actual CONTENT of the posts is NOT included.

I havent got time to double check this yet, so let's keep this option open until then 🙂

You can however analyze the tags of each post.   Review the posts sections you want to analyze and tag them with the key words.  Then analyze the tags.

Thanks. This could be one option, this is possible workaround.

My usecase is that I dont want to tag posts or I dont do anything else either in the community or Control. I just want to get topic (and all the posts) exported to the excel (or so) and do the analyzing there.

This is important because there are posts which includes several ideas/feedbacks/or something else, just in one post.

For example, when members discuss about our products, one post might have several “takeaways” for us.

Right, exporting the entire contents and replies of a post make it very difficult to visualize.  Tagging would work like cliff notes to the post and may help.  You can incorporate it into the workflow of the people answering the questions :)

But tagging isnt something I want to do 😃

Anyways, do you mean Moderator tags, or Post Field? Or labels? Not public tags though?

I use public tags.  And I review content on every Monday and check to make sure the tagging covers the content conveyed in the post or question.  I haven’t yet done an analysis on content through tagging, as I am currently doing it through sub forum title.  But I am sure it is coming one day soon!
