Hover over their name in the shared dashboard table, click\u00a0delete. Their\u00a0unique\u00a0access link dies\u00a0immediately. They stop receiving automated emails.

For example, show NPS for customers who responded with &#8220;frustration&#8221; to &#8220;Q4: How was your branch experience?&#8221; Instead of broad sentiment across the entire survey, you get targeted insight tied to specific moments.<\/p>\n<div class=\"div-minispacer\"><\/div>\n<p><b>NLP widgets on dashboards and journey stages.<\/b><\/p>\n<div class=\"div-minispacer\"><\/div>\n<p>Now you can add sentiment trend lines, word clouds, and overall sentiment scores directly to any custom dashboard.

So instead of just knowing that satisfaction drops at Stage 3, you can see why it drops: what people are saying, what emotions are surfacing, and what themes keep coming up. Journey stages can now map directly to activities and the responses they generate, so your journey map reflects real interactions, not assumptions.<\/p>\n<div class=\"div-minispacer\"><\/div>\n<p>All of this comes down to one thing: removing the friction between data and decisions.
