Where are text indexes used beside the now deprecated "word cloud"?

[HEATHERADYE]

The word cloud feature is deprecated.  The indicators still have the option to collect scores and text indexes.

Where else is the text index data being used?   

Do people generally collect both?  What configuration is needed for the text index data collection? 

I understand that Platform Analytics version of the word cloud was on the backlog. 

There is a option to configure text analytics in Yokohama but it does not match the training in PA widgets. 

There is a option to look at Widgets in Yokohama, but I can not create the text cloud widget because it will not let me attach an indicator.  

Thank you!

Hi @HEATHERADYE ,

Where is text index data used?

Primarily for text analytics tools like word clouds (in Performance Analytics), and monitoring via text index stats.

Is both score and text index collection common?

You can collect both. Text index is worthwhile only if you're leveraging text-based analytics.

What’s required to collect text index data?

Enable it on Indicator Sources, configure stop words as needed, and run collection jobs.

Why can't I attach an indicator to the Yokohama text cloud widget?

Because that widget depends on licensed Performance Analytics capabilities—Platform Analytics doesn't support it.

Mark it helpful if this helps you to understand. Accept solution if this give you the answer you're looking for

Kind Regards,

Please provide a link to updated configuration instructions for text index data.  The instructions that I have are from the PA Widgets Course (Xanadu) and do not apply to Yokohama. The forms do not match. 

In which Application/Plugin are the text monitoring capabilities located?   They do not appear to be located in Performance analytics. 

I am working on my pdi. I have enabled Performance Analytics. I am unable to construct a text cloud widget. The indicator will not attach once I have selected Text as my visualization option.  Please let me know what the Platform analytics replacement is for the Performance Analytics (Core UI) word cloud widget.

There is no Platform Analytics replacement for the word cloud widget.

There is still an option to select text index collection in the data collector.  Can you clarify what that option provides data for without the word cloud widget?  

I also do not seem to have it configured correctly (text index collection) since when I check the pa_text_indexes  table is empty.  I attempted to set up a configuration in the pa_text_index_configuration table but without instructions I was unable to complete the process. 

Thank you. 

Thank you for your assistance.
