How to update your Projects and Analyses with new data

When you send out another survey and collect more data, you can update the Project with the new data and update existing analyses whilst keeping the language model intact.

Adding Data

To add data to a Project, simply click the "Add Data" button. Your data should contain the same columns and type of data that is already inside the Project.

Note: For Projects that use data from an integration, you update the data from the integration rather than add new data.

Matching Column Headings

If your new data file has different column headings you will be given the opportunity to match them with the existing columns in your dataset (otherwise known in Kapiche as your Project Schema).

Creating vs Updating an Analysis

Whenever you create an analysis, it takes all data in the Project, and creates a language model from the unstructured data. This is different to updating! Updating an Analysis takes any new data in a Project (that wasn't used in the initial creation of the Analysis) and re-calculates the results you see throughout Kapiche. It doesn't change the underlying language model and Concepts aren't removed or added. This ensures consistency for tracking purposes across queries/concepts.

  • Update analysis = keeps existing language model, updated with new data in a Project

  • Create analysis = creates a new language model from the data in a Project
