What is Commenting?
Qualitative analysis plays an important part in any analytics process. It is possible to give more context by providing additional information, going beyond what the numbers immediately state. Having specialists commenting on existing analysis and putting it into context for other users means that everyone will get more value from the analysis and be more effective in communication. By establishing a commenting procedure, you ensure more collaboration around the analytics solution and get more value out of it.
Challenges
On Tableau, while we can place comments on a dashboard, these cannot be associated with a particular filter. This means that, for instance, if you place a comment on a particular month, it will be displayed even when you move to the next one. This can sometimes be confusing and does not give you the full picture.
How can Write-Back help you
Write-Back is a great solution for commenting; you can have users providing their input and simply associate it across the board with any filters selected. You are free to choose the form fields and the association with filters meaning it will always be straightforward to fill it in and interpret it. The best thing is that it all gets stored on your database, and you can then use the information in any visualization. Besides this, you can even distinguish who is entitled to comment and users who can only see comments.
