Basic grids are read-only. Open one and click Clone to new grid to copy its rows
and columns into an analysis grid, where you can
keep editing and asking questions.
- Basic analysis grids contain all of your participants.
- Each row corresponds to an individual speaker.
- They can be scoped to look at all the participants, IDI & Focus Group Participants or Participants from OBB / Communities like Recollective.
- They are limited to a maximum of 200 participants.
- They show a count next every theme corresponding to the number of participants the theme applies to.
What you can still do
Open a basic grid from the Analysis Grids section to:- Read every answer and the theme overview at the top of each column
- Click an answer to see the supporting quotes
- Copy a column, or export the whole grid
- Rename or delete the grid
- Clone it into a new analysis grid to continue the analysis
What is no longer available
- Creating a basic grid
- Adding, editing, or regenerating a question
- Filtering a column by segment or concept
Cloning into an analysis grid
Click Clone to new grid to copy the grid’s rows and columns into a new analysis grid, which then computes them in the current format. Every participant row carries across. If the same question appeared in two columns, the new grid keeps one, and tells you when it does.Understanding Theme Frequencies in the All Participant Grid
In the All Participant Grid, each column shows an overview of key themes based on the question you asked—and next to each theme, you’ll see a theme frequency (a number). But what does that number actually mean?
Here’s how it works:
- CoLoop first creates a summary for each participant, based on all of their responses.
- It then reads across all participant summaries to generate an overall theme overview for the column.
- The theme frequency shows how many participants mentioned that theme in their summary for that specific question.
If you ask “What modes of transport did participants mention?”, CoLoop will look at all the transport modes each person talked about. So if most people said things like “car, bus, plane,” those will have higher frequencies because they were mentioned more often. But if you ask “What was each participant’s favorite mode of transport?”, CoLoop will only count the top or favorite mode each person gave. So the theme frequencies will be lower, since participants usually name just one favorite. Bottom line:
Theme counts depend on the question you ask—CoLoop summarizes each participant first, then builds the overview based on those summaries.
Getting the supporting quotes
You can click on any of the generated outputs from the analysis grid to see the supporting quotes. The returned list of quotes will consist of the top x supporting quotes.
Renaming a grid
Rename grids to keep things organized by clicking the 3 dots next to the page name.
Exporting a grid
You can export a grid either by copying its columns and pasting them into an Excel sheet or Word document, or by exporting the entire table as an Excel sheet.Copying an entire column
These can be pasted into Excel, Word, Powerpoint and more.
Exporting the entire table
Click on the three dots of the grid you would like to export. Exports from the table are in standard Excel format (XLSX). Do this either when you’re in the grid, by clicking on the three dots in the top right hand corner.
Or do this from the Analysis Grids section.
