Super Gadget

What is Super Gadget?

Super Gadget is an advanced all-in-one solution which is aimed to replace the previous set of gadgets by providing a single unified, flexible and configurable user interface to connect, filter and display the survey data, be it a VoC Feedback survey or an external upload of data from another source.

Now with Super Gadget, you have a simpler way to get the data from more channels. You can then process this data with a flexible set of available filters and visualize it by selecting the chart type which most fits the purpose - all in one place.

A single unified UI simplifies a user interaction, is easier to learn and thus gives you more time to work with the data itself.

After you choose a gadget, it will appear as the last one on your current dashboard. You will be prompted asking to configure the gadget with the message “Please, configure gadget”.

You will see a modal window with your gadget’s settings when you click the link.

The very basic setting for every gadget is a source of data that will be fetched to build a chart. It can be from either VoC Feedback or VoC Store.

What charts can be built with Super Gadget?

Here is a list of charts types that can be built using Super Gadget:

Period filter

Using this setting allows you to show data for some specific time period. There are two filters available: Absolute and Relative.

Absolute allows setting a static time period (e.g. Last Month, from 1 to 31 May 2019), the Gadget will be always showing data for the setup timeframe, means from 1 to 31 May 2019.

Relative, on the other hand, allows setting custom timeframes, for example, "From 5 to 10 Weeks Ago". Moreover, using this filter makes Gadget's data change as time goes by.

For instance: you have applied a filter in January and used last month, so Gadget will show you results from December till February. However, after one month passes, the filter will shift date further and thus, will show you results from January to February.

Metadata filter

AND/OR conditions

AND/OR join condition allows you to get more precise filtering results. It can be used in case you want to work only with results that contain specific metadata values.

The behavior of this filter is easy to understand:
You need to select Fact, then select equality of the fact with some condition that corresponds with the fact. If you want to create another fact that will be an additional filter for your results, select AND condition. In this case, you will be shown only results that match the two filters combined.
If you choose OR condition while creating new fact, Super Gadget will display all results, that meet at least one of selected conditions.

For example, you decided to filter your results against certain language (e.g., English) and NPS Score (e.g., NPS Score > 6) at the same time. In order to achieve such results, you should do the following:

Select Fact called "Language" in the first drop down;
Set equality to "Equal" in the second one;
Select value "en" (stands for English) in the third drop down;
Click on the AND button (that means you want to create AND join condition;
Select Fact called "NPS Score";
Set equality to "Greater";
Select value for the NPS score to be greater than (6 in our case).
Click on the "Approve button"

After these simple manipulations, you will be displayed only those results that match both of these two conditions at the same time.

Own Email metadata

Starting from 10.8.0 it is possible to use import/upload variable <user_email> which allows assigning import/upload rows data to a particular agent that has an account within a VoC Hub instance. This feature was designed to be used in Super Gadget: when you select it in Metadata filter and then share the dashboard with someone, your colleague will be able to view only those results that were imported/uploaded with <user_email> variable that matches his/her email address used for entering your VoC Hub instance. In case there was no this user's email address in the import/upload file, the person you've shared the dashboard with won't see any results within a chart.
The Own email variable is displayed as a variable for all the metadata columns by design for better accessibility.

Gadget toolbar

Every gadget has a toolbar that is located on the right side of the gadget's header.

Here's the list of the available toolbar options:

Option	Icon	Description
Resize		After the click, you will be prompted to select a new size for the gadget. There are four gadget sizes available: gadget which occupies 1/3 of the workspace; half-sized gadget; gadget which occupies 2/3 of the workspace; full-width gadget.
Copy		With this tool, you can create a copy of your gadget. The copy will appear right next to the original gadget. Note: if building a Table chart, you will be able to Copy to clipboard the whole data from it and to paste it to Excel file, if needed. However, there is a rare chance that data may not be copied. This is a known issue, with no workaround as for now, except trying to copy data from Gadget one more time.
Settings		You can access gadget’s settings by clicking on this icon.
Remove		This tool removes the chosen gadget from your dashboard.

Gadget's Look & Feel

Changing color for chart’s segments

You can select a color for any segment of your gadgets by clicking the right mouse button on the name of the segment or on the segment itself. After the right-click, a color palette will appear and you can adjust colors of the gadget segments according to your needs.

Note: There is also an option to choose one of predefined custom color sets for a Super Gadget. It is available on the Advanced Settings tab.

Please note: manual changes to segment's color won't be reset by applying a Custom Color Set, as manual modifications have higher priority by the system logic. It means, once modified, the segment couldn't be affected in any way, except manually entering the needed color. Also, copying the Gadget will transfer segment's manual color changes to the copy.

Renaming chart's components

In order to rename chart's components you need to click the button (where applicable).

If you want to rename chart's legend, you should left-click on it and save your changes.
