Understanding Filters on SimpleX: Refining Your Data Analysis

🎯 Understanding Filters on SimpleX Open: Refining Your Data Analysis

When it comes to survey analysis, reading responses isn’t enough—you need to isolate signals from noise. That’s where SimpleX Open’s smart filtering tools come in. Built for CX professionals, HR managers, marketing researchers, and consultants, filters help you explore your feedback data with precision and clarity.

In this post, we’ll show you how to segment audiences, target specific themes, and generate high-impact insights using the Filter & Search feature in SimpleX Open.

🔍 Why Filters Are Game-Changers in Survey Analysis

Diving into hundreds of open-ended responses can be overwhelming. But with the right filters, you can:

• Focus on specific subgroups (e.g., women under 30)
• Zoom in on key topics (e.g., comments on usability)
• Compare perceptions between segments (e.g., loyal vs. new customers)

🎯 Example: A Customer Experience Manager filters responses from 18–25-year-old men after a product launch. She discovers a recurring complaint about design—an insight that would’ve been lost in the overall view.

🛠️ How to Use Filters in SimpleX Open

1. Access the Analysis Console

• Open the Survey Analysis Console for the survey you want to explore.
• The Filter & Search feature is available on all tabs except "Insights".

2. Apply the Right Filters

Filter types include:

• Keyword Filters: Focus on specific terms or expressions.
• Sentiment Filters: View only positive, negative, or neutral responses.
• Date Filters: Isolate feedback from specific timeframes.
• Demographic Filters: Segment responses by age, gender, location, acquisition channel, and more.

💡 Pro Tip: When importing your data, make sure to accurately define your variables in the “Select Filters” section. Good mapping = powerful filtering.

3. Combine and Adjust

• Combine filters for more granular views.
• Adjust or remove filters anytime to explore new patterns.

📊 Comparing Populations: Use “Compare Filters”

Head to the Charts tab and activate the Compare Filters option:

• Visualize how graphs and distributions differ between populations.
• Detect shifts in sentiment or response patterns.
• Export or clip comparisons into your report for presentation-ready insights.

🎯 Example: An HR consultant compares feedback from HQ employees vs. field workers. The result? A clear gap in perceived managerial recognition between locations.

🤖 Generate Automated Insights with the Insight Bot

Once filters are applied, let the Insight Bot do the heavy lifting:

• Generate subgroup-specific summaries
• Identify key takeaways automatically
• Save hours on manual interpretation

Perfect for generating fast, tailored reporting or client-ready insights.

✅ Best Practices for Using Filters Effectively

✔ Map precisely: Proper variable setup during data import is essential
✔ Save filters: Reuse for recurring analysis across similar datasets
✔ Document criteria: Keep track of what filters you’ve used and why
