New Word Cloud
A New Word Cloud Chart is a visualization where the font size of each word represents its frequency, importance, or weight within a dataset. Unlike traditional tables, word clouds provide an engaging, infographic-style summary of text data, highlighting the most frequent or impactful terms.
This enhanced Word Cloud component supports paragraph input, case formatting, filtering, rotation, and dynamic color ranges, making it more flexible for real-world text analytics.
Best Situations to Use
Use a New Word Cloud chart when you want to:
Analyze text data from surveys, reviews, or social media posts.
Quickly spot trends, repeated terms, or dominant themes.
Create presentation-friendly infographics that summarize customer sentiment or engagement.
Identify patterns in unstructured datasets that may not be clear in tabular views.
Example: A company analyzing customer service feedback can generate a New Word Cloud where terms like “support,” “delay,” or “excellent” stand out immediately.
