What is Config/Netting: Merge, Unmerge, Rename, Move, Hide, Exclude, & Score Choices?
Config/netting allows you to
- Merge, Unmerge, & Relabel Choices
- Display, Hide, & Exclude Choices
- Reorder Choices
- Score, Combine, & Average Choices
In both your chart & table.
Merge, Unmerge, Relabel Choices
Below, we can see all 8 original choices, but this can be too detailed to analyse with 4 choices for "not important", 3 choices for "important", and 1 "don't know" choice. We can simplify this to just 3 choices instead by using merging.
To merge choices,
- Click the 'cog' icon next to your choices in the table dropdowns
- Select the choices you want to merge, e.g. "somewhat important", "important", "very important"
- Click the Merge button
- Rename your choices to whatever you like, e.g. "NET Important (5-7)" and "NOT Important (1-4)"
- Click Done when you're ready
With 3 merged choices now instead of 8 originally, our question just became that much simpler to analyse. 🙂
Note that you can also:
- Click the Info 'i' icon if you want to see the original choices
- Click the Unmerge icon to split this choice back to its original choices OR
- Cick the Reset button to unmerge all choices
Display, Hide, & Exclude Choices
Above, we ended up with 3 choices displayed but this is still too complex to analyse and also not 100% correct! 😈
Instead...
- we only want to show "NET important" (display)
- we don't need to show "NOT important" (hide), and
- we think it's better to not include "Don't know" in our calculations (exclude)
Doing this means we now have only 1 visible choice, not 3, and is thus as simple as possible to analyse 😇
And with "Don't Know" excluded, our "NET Important" figure has increased from 86% to 89%, which is more correct! 💯
Re-Order Choices
You can also use netting/config to re-order your choices by using the up & down arrows to move your choices up or down in order.
