Help CenterIn this article, we explain what a Graph Folder is and how to set it up. You will also learn how Graph Folders help you organize related graphs in Trend Monitor.
What is a Graph Folder
A Graph Folder lets you group several related graphs under one main graph. This makes it easier to show an overall result (for example, total awareness) while still being able to explore detailed breakdowns such as by age, gender, or other segments. Using Graph Folders helps you keep your Topics organized and makes navigation smoother when working with multiple versions of the same question or metric.
How to Set Up a Graph Folder
- Open the graph you want to use as your main graph.
- lick the three-dot menu (⋮) in the top-right corner of the graph and select Edit.
- Go to the Graph Settings tab.
- Under Graph Folder, select Graph Folder as the graph type.
- In the Sub Graph List, choose which graphs you want to include in the folder.
- You will see all graphs available within the same Topic.
- Select one or more graphs to include.
- Click Save changes.
Once saved, the current graph becomes the main graph in your folder. The selected sub-graphs will appear in a drop-down menu within the same view.
How to Use Graph Folders
- When viewing the main graph, use the drop-down menu above the graph to switch between sub-graphs.
- The main graph (the one where the folder was created) will always be the default view in dashboards and reports.
- Sub-graphs can be viewed one by one without leaving the Topic.
Important Notes
- You need at least two graphs within the same Topic to create a Graph Folder.
- The user must have editor or administrator rights to create or modify Graph Folders.
- Sub-graphs can be updated individually, and changes will automatically appear inside the folder.
Practical Tips
- Use Graph Folders to show a summary graph as the main view and detailed segment graphs as sub-views. For example, show total brand awareness as the main graph and awareness by age group as sub-graphs.
- Keep folder contents relevant and include graphs that represent variations of the same measure.
- Avoid mixing unrelated metrics in the same folder for clarity and easier interpretation.
