Word Cloud widget
Updated
The Word Cloud visualization is a graphical representation of text data in which the size of each word indicates its frequency or importance within the text. The more frequently a word appears in the text, the larger it appears in the word cloud.
Word Clouds are commonly used to summarize the topics or themes, and can also be used to identify important keywords or phrases.
To create a Cord Cloud, the data is first analyzed to determine the frequency of each word in the mentions. The most frequent words are then visualized in a cloud-like shape, with larger words representing higher frequencies. The words are usually arranged randomly or in a pattern to create an aesthetic display.
To add a Word Cloud widget
To plot the Word Cloud widget, you can use any existing editable dashboard or create a new one. Refer to this article to learn how to set up a custom dashboard.
Once you have the dashboard where you want to add the visualization widget, follow the steps below –
On the custom dashboard, click Add Widget in the top right corner.
On the widget builder, enter the widget's name.
Select Word Cloud as a visualization type for your widget.
