Analytics Feedback

The Analytics Feedback displays information on the article Votes and on Feedback comments that can be entered for a "No" Vote.

  • Votes are made on articles in the "Was this article helpful?" section of an article.

  • If you have installed the feedback form as part of the Analytics Setup, the Feedback comments are entered if a user clicks the No button in the "Was this article helpful?" section of an article. For a "No" Vote, the feedback section appears so the user can add a comment and let you know why they thought the article was not helpful. The comments allow you to collect text feedback from your visitors when they send a negative vote, so you can better understand the reason for this vote. Refer to Step 2 (optional): Install the feedback form in Setting up Help Center Analytics.
