Topics sheet
A summary sheet listing every topic in your code plan. Columns include the topic label, its numeric code, and the count of responses assigned to it. Use this sheet to build frequency tables and charts in your reporting tool.Top Topics sheet
A ranked list of the most frequently assigned topics — useful for a quick executive summary of what respondents mentioned most often.Analytics in the platform
In addition to the Excel export, Pulse Classifier offers built-in analytics views you can explore without leaving the app.Topic distribution chart
The topic distribution chart shows a bar chart of response counts per topic, sorted from most to least frequent. Switch between L1 and L2 views to drill into sub-topic breakdowns.Correlation heatmap
The correlation heatmap (also called the co-occurrence matrix) shows how often pairs of topics appear together in the same response. Darker cells indicate stronger co-occurrence. Use this view to identify thematic clusters — for example, discovering that “Price” and “Value for money” are frequently mentioned together.Sentiment summary
The sentiment summary shows the distribution of positive, negative, and neutral sentiment across your responses. Sentiment is detected automatically alongside topic classification.Exporting charts to PowerPoint
You can export any chart from the analytics view to a PowerPoint slide. Click the Export or Download icon above the chart and select PowerPoint. Each chart exports as a high-resolution image embedded in a single slide.Classification history
