Daylight Application

Dashboard Shortcut from Project Page
Users can now bypass the Highlights page and Daylight Application from the Project list page to access the dashboard directly.

Select Fields option added to Filter Tab
The Documents Tab offers users the option to “Select Fields”, enabling them to customize the context for a given comment. Daylight now provides the same “Select Fields” menu for filters, allowing users to upload as much metadata as they would like with a project, recognizing that not every filter is equally important at all times.

In the example below, most of the Feeling metadata fields are hidden, so the metadata list starts with “How connected do you feel?” instead.

Visualize sentiment in Volume to quickly spot which concepts are being described negatively or positively without toggling features.

Note: Concept-level sentiment is only displayed at the single concept level.
– Boolean concepts like “wait & time” in the example below require the sentiment intersections of multiple concepts and cannot be displayed as a single bar.
– Advanced Concepts, such as those generated in the Helios Themes list, also integrate multiple concepts under a single label, and therefore won’t display concept-sentiment in Volume.

Edit Metadata Filter names post-upload

Users may replace filter labels for Daylight projects from the “Select Fields” by clicking the pencil icons next to the labels. This change allows projects that may have had labels like “Q2” and “Q18_2” to reflect what those labels represent. This change is particularly helpful for users who have a lot of data they want to upload quickly, but work with teams (or Helios!) that may not have a decoder table.

Copy Science Assertions across projects

Users with creation permissions may copy Science assertions from one project to another. Project assertions include:

Ignore, which turns identified concepts into stopwords, severing their concept-concept associations and prevalence ranking,
Merge, which combines terms that should be identified as single concepts. This is not to be confused with building themes using Advanced Concepts using the concept editor.
Notice, which is used if an important concept was mistakenly identified as a stop word. Examples of terms to notice when appropriate include “Meow”, a common cat interjection, and “MIX”, a roman numeral, specifically when examining a project related to cat food, where Meow is not an interjection and MIX is not a roman numeral.
Force Collocate, which is used if a multi-word concept is relevant to the project, but not used often enough in the project for the science to detect it as such. For example, if

Daylight Dashboard

(new!) Helios Prompt Widget

Users can now have Helios respond to custom prompts for more direct or concise answers using the Helios Prompt Widget within the AI Generated Widgets folder.

Compare Segments Bar View

Set up A/B comparisons with the Compare Segments widget as a scatter plot or with bars.

Filter Helios Summaries

The Helios Summary widget now includes filter options for more side-by-side comparison options.

Share of Voice Over Time – Bubble

Identifying which topics are most common is now shown by color saturation and bubble size for a more intuitive user experience.

Widget Folder Updates

Find the widgets you need more quickly and get to them using fewer clicks with the updated Dashboard widget panel. The NPS Widgets have been moved to a separate section under Drivers.

Widgets with a numerical Y-axis may now set a custom axis range to reflect the data range options. For example, an NPS question ranges from 0-10, but if the scores in the dataset are all between 7 and 9, users should be able to see that their scores are high but not quite to the top thresholds.

Screenshot Mode

Users may hide the widget builder grid with screenshot mode in the Global Filters menu.

Helios

Helios has moved!
When users open a project, the Add with Helios button is now immediately available from the Highlights page, no longer nested in the Concept Lists tab.
