Adding a new theme

To add a new theme, open the Analyze tab of your interview session and click the + button at the top of the Themes list.

Enter the theme name, a brief description, and assign a label color.

Theme analysis

The analysis section (summary & findings) is where you can document patterns and insights from each theme. It’ll appear in the report.

To add a summary and key findings to a theme, click the Analyze theme button to get an AI-generated analysis based on the highlights associated with that theme. Depending on the amount of highlights to be analyzed, this may take a few moments.

You'll be able to manually adjust the AI-suggested summary and findings.

Managing themes

Click the Manage button at the top of the Themes list to edit your themes.

Here, you can:

• Add a new theme
• Change the order of the themes
• Rename themes
• Change the label color
• Delete themes

Hide/show themes in the interview report

To hide a theme from the report, click the ••• menu next to the theme on the list and click Hide in report. You can also do this using the button at the top right corner.

To show the theme again, click Show in report.
