  5. Once you have chosen your text input, you will be redirected to the Data Selection page. If you chose a sample dataset, the data selection fields will be pre-selected. If you input your own data, select the data category from the dropdown. Note: If your data is event-related, the visualizations will be different than the visualizations for “Other Data”.

  6. Select the column you want to analyze (if using a spreadsheet with multiple columns).

  7. Enter the number of topics you want to analyze.

  8. When you’re ready, click “Generate Insights” – you will then be directed to the Data Overview page. Depending on how large your dataset is, this may take a few minutes.

From there, you can drill down into the Topic Modeling, Sentiment Analysis, and Developer Zone tabs for more specific data breakdowns. For more information on key points and visualizations, click the information icon in the top right-hand corner of each visualization.

How to Modify Topics

A topic is the subject of the text. For example, the following comments fall under the topic “customer service”:

  • “MAQ Software customer service is fantastic!”
  • “An MAQ Software support rep reached out right away.”
  • “I am very happy with the quality of customer service.”

Figure 5: Rename Topics


  1. If using “Other Data”, you can rename topics by navigating to the Topic Modeling page. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click “Rename Topic”. Note: If you rename topics and re-run the model, you will no longer be able to rename topics. Instead, you can create a new topic using the same steps. If using “Event Data”, you will only be able to create topics.


    2. Figure 6: Topic Modeling Page - Filter Topic


  2. To filter topics, click “Filter Topic” and remove the undesired topics.

  3. When you’re happy with your topic modifications, re-run the model for updated insights.
