To open the Saved Searches tab:

• In the Main Menu, under Search, select Saved Searches. The Saved Searches tab opens, and displays a list of the searches you have saved or other users have shared with you.

Compare Saved Searches

Important

This feature is not available in Recording UI mode.

You can compare two custom data sets to see how they differ with regard to specific search criteria. For example, you could compare two teams of customer-service agents to see which team has more Dissatisfaction in the interactions it handles. You can also compare the results of Explore processes between two data sets to see whether there are any noticeable differences between them with regard to the most common terms that appear in their interaction flows.

Setting up comparisons of this sort is a two-stage process. In the first stage, you define the data sets you want to compare in the New Search page, and save each of them as Saved Searches. In the second stage, you select the two data sets in the Saved Searched page and then initiate the comparison process. The results of the comparison are included in a report that is sent to you via e-mail when it is ready. In addition, you can open the report in the Saved Reports tab of the Reports page.

Important

Only interactions can be included in the custom data sets that are compared.

To compare two custom data sets:

1. Select Explore > Search.
2. Click 20px and open the Filter Panel to define the data set you want to use for the exploration. See: Defining Search Criteria. Be sure to select a single language, and only the Interactions interaction type.
3. Click Save. You are prompted to provide a name for the Saved Search.
4. Enter a name and select OK. The data set is saved as a Saved Search.
5. Repeat the steps above to define the second data set you want to use in the comparison and save it with a different name.
6. Select Explore > Saved Searches.
7. Select the check boxes beside the two Saved Searches you created. The Compare 15px option in the Actions area above the table of Saved Searches becomes active.
8. Click Compare 15px. A dialog box opens.
9. Under Report Name, enter a name for the comparison report.
10. Under Categories and Topics, select the Categories and Topics you want to compare. (For information about using the Multi-Select box, see Defining Search Criteria.)
11. If you also want to receive an Exploration report for the two data sets, select Also run exploration.
12. Select Run. A message appears, informing you that the report is being generated, and that an e-mail will be sent to you when the report is available.

Filtering a Table

If there are a lot of items in the Saved Searches table, you can find the items you are interested in by filtering the display. You can filter by item name and/or by the name of the user who created the item.

To filter the items in a table by name:

• At the top of the table, in the Name field, type a letter or sequence of letters that appears in the name of the item you are looking for. The list is filtered as you type; only those names that contain the sequence you typed are displayed in the table.

To filter the items in a table by their creators:

1. At the top of the table, under Creator, open the Multi-Select box.
2. Select the users whose searches you want to see.
3. Click Close. The list is filtered; only those items that were create by users you selected are displayed in the table.

To collapse / expand a table:

• In the upper-left corner of the table, beside the title of the table, click the collapse icon.
