Explore data and save custom answers

In the admin panel, click the ‘Search data’ option in the ‘Explore’ section of Blink IQ

Select a data model from the top left hand corner – the models available represent the different areas of the Blink platform, such as Feed Posts, Comments, Groups, Users, etc.

Once you have selected a data model, scroll through the data attributes on the left side of the data builder, and select the check box next to the data points you are interested in. You can also search for these in the Search bar.

Once you have selected your attributes, you can use the options at the right hand side of the screen to customise how your data will be visualised.

Use the Layout, Column, Axis, Tooltip, Data Label, Legend, and Display options in the navigation bar to customise your data visualisation.

First, select the model ‘Feed comments’

Then, add the attributes ‘Comment Text’, ‘Commenter name’, ‘Comment timestamp’, and ‘Comment like count’

Click ‘Go’

Choose the ‘Table’ visualisation option

To narrow down the time range, select the three dots menu on the comment option, select ‘Filter’ and enter a date range

Now your table has been set up as intended. To save this query as an ‘answer’ in your own library, select the three dots menu and click ‘Save’

Customise the name and description for your answer, and click ‘Save answer’, or 'Download' to export to CSV

In the admin panel, click the ‘Saved answers’ option in the ‘Explore’ section of Blink IQ

You can now see a list of all the answers you have saved in the past – you can open and edit these answers

You can also save these answers to your KPI watchlist, if they are formatted as a KPI

Once you have created a custom answer, click the ‘Share’ button

Enter a user’s name, and then click ‘Share’

The user will then be able to see this answer in their ‘Saved Answers’ from the admin panel
