Strategic Planning enables you to collect feedback from multiple sources and review the incoming feedback to understand the critical issues or feature requests. You can create feedback filters from feedback homepage. For more information on feedback filters, see [Create feedback filters in Strategic Planning](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/UgReDXEThHVBMPygMDdh6g "Create and organize feedback using feedback filters and reduce the need to manually apply filters each time to find specific feedback."). ## Feedback overview {#managing-product-feedback-in-strategic-planning__section_bjg_q5q_byb} Get insights of feedback, number of product ideas linked to feedback, top tags, and customers based on the feedback count on the overview page. View trends and statistics based on these filters: * Top tags, which are majorly used to conclude on the focus areas * Top customers who are most actively submitting feedback * Feedback received in the last seven days * Feedback that is not linked to any product idea * Feedback based on the overall status * Feedback that is assigned and unassigned to the user * Identify the overall sentiment distribution across your feedback data. * Analyze the sentiments of the feedback received over the past nine months. {#managing-product-feedback-in-strategic-planning__ul_uzr_r5q_byb} The following figure shows a sample overview of customer feedback and indicates the different features on the overview tab. For example, know which customer has provided the maximum feedback by viewing the feedback count based on top customers.
