Setting up your crowd account

Key point; - How to sign up - Understanding user roles and permissions - Why did Crowd implement such a system? HOW TO SIGN UP To get started with Crowd, the first thing you'll need to do is sign up for an account. Head over to our Sign-Up Page and fill in your details. Once you've completed the sign-up process, you'll have access to a wealth of user research tools and resources. UNDERSTANDING USER ROLES AND PERMISSIONS Crowd workspace system categorized users into different roles based on their permissions and functionalities. The primary user, known as the owner, has the highest level of control over the workspace. Owners can modify any aspect of it, invite or remove participants, and have exclusive rights like deleting the entire workspace. Those invited by the owner to collaborate can either be editors or viewers. Editors have the privilege to modify content, add observations, and, in some setups, may even invite viewers. However, they might lack access to more advanced configurations reserved for owners. On the other hand, viewers have read-only access to the workspace. They can observe and, depending on the system's design, might be able to provide feedback, but they cannot make direct changes or invite other participants. Implementing such a differentiated role system necessitates features like clear role indication, easy role management, audit trails, and integrated collaboration tools to ensure a structured and productive environment for all users. Let's break down User roles and the permissions : Owners: Permissions: - Full Control: Owners can modify, delete, or configure any aspect of the workspace. - Invite/Remove Participants: Have the ability to invite other users and set their roles (either as an editor or viewer). - Change Roles: They can upgrade a viewer to an editor or downgrade an editor to a viewer. - Delete Workspace: The owner(s) can decide to close or delete the workspace. - View Observations & Feedback: Access to all feedback and observations made by any participant. Editors: Permissions: - Modify Content: They can make changes to the content or work within the workspace but might not have access to certain configuration settings or high-level functionalities reserved for the owner. - Add Observations: Can provide feedback, annotations, or observations, contributing to the evolution of the workspace. - Limited Invite: Editors are allowed to send email invites to participants. Viewers: Permissions: - Read-only Access: Can view the content within the workspace but cannot make any modifications. - Provide Observations: Depending on the platform's design, viewers might be allowed to provide feedback or observations but can't directly change the work in the workspace. - No Invite Permission: Typically, viewers don't have the right to invite other participants. WHY DID CROWD IMPLEMENT SUCH SYSTEM - Clear Role Indication: Each user's role is indicated within the workspace, so all participants are aware of who has what permissions. - Easy Role Management: Owners have a simple and intuitive interface to manage user roles, adjust permissions, or remove participants. - Audit Trails: Especially since editors can modify content, it's essential to maintain an audit trail that logs who made what changes and when. This ensures accountability and provides a way to revert changes if necessary. - Feedback Loop: it creates a mechanism where observations and feedback from editors and viewers can be effectively communicated, categorized, and acted upon. - Notification System: Users will be notified via email of relevant activities in the workspace, like new observations, and changes made by editors and owners. - Access Control: Crowd ensures robust authentication and authorization mechanisms to prevent unauthorized access. - Collaboration Tools: Crowd currently has some integration tools like web integration and Slack to facilitate better collaboration among participants.

Crowd widget and its different feedback types

key Points; - NPS WITH CROWD FEEDBACK WIDGET - CSAT SURVEYS WITH CROWD FEEDBACK WIDGET - COLLECTING FEATURE REQUEST WITH CROWD FEEDBACK WIDGET - BUG TRACKING WITH CROWD FEEDBACK WIDGET 1. Nps With Crowd Feedback Widget Net Promoter Score (NPS) is a widely used metric that gauges customer loyalty by asking customers to rate the likelihood they would recommend a product or service to others. Integrating NPS with a crowd widget can provide a more comprehensive feedback system and allow businesses to tap into crowdsourced insights about their performance. Here's how you can effectively use NPS with a crowd widget: Integration: - Embed NPS Question: Within your crowd widget, embed the standard NPS question: "On a scale of 0-10, how likely are you to recommend [Product/Service/Brand] to a friend or colleague?" - Follow-up Questions: Allow space for open-ended feedback so respondents can elaborate on their scores. This can provide context to the numeric rating and offer actionable insights. Categorization: - Promoters (9-10): Users who are extremely likely to recommend your product or service. - Passives (7-8): Satisfied users who are neutral and might switch to competitors under the right circumstances. - Detractors (0-6): Unhappy users who could potentially harm your brand through negative word-of-mouth. Analysis: - Aggregate Data: Calculate your overall NPS by subtracting the percentage of detractors from the percentage of promoters. This will give you a score between -100 and 100. - Feedback Themes: Analyze the open-ended feedback to identify common themes or issues among promoters, passives, and detractors. Feedback Loop: - Engage with Respondents: Consider reaching out to detractors to understand their grievances and potentially convert them into promoters. Similarly, engage with promoters to understand what you're doing right. - Continuous Feedback: Use the crowd widget to continuously solicit NPS feedback, tracking how your score evolves over time and in response to changes or improvements you make. Actionable Insights: - Address Common Issues: Use feedback from detractors to identify and address widespread issues or pain points. - Leverage Promoter Feedback: Understand what's working well and consider doubling down on those areas. Integration with Other Tools: - Task Management: Integrate the feedback from the crowd widget into the Crowd Kanban board to ensure that actionable insights are addressed. - CRM Integration: If applicable, integrate with your Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system to track individual user feedback and tailor your interactions accordingly. Data Visualization: - Use dashboards to visualize your NPS trends over time, the distribution of promoters, passives, and detractors, and the key themes emerging from open-ended feedback. Data Privacy: - Ensure that NPS responses, especially open-ended feedback, are collected and stored in compliance with relevant data protection regulations. - Provide transparency to respondents about how their feedback will be used. Promote the NPS Question: - Encourage users to participate by highlighting the simplicity of the NPS question and the value their feedback brings. By integrating NPS with a crowd widget, businesses can gain both a quantitative measure of customer loyalty and qualitative insights to drive improvement. The real value lies in not just collecting the scores but in acting on the feedback to enhance user experience and satisfaction. 2. Csat Surveys With Crowd Feedback Widget Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) surveys are designed to measure the satisfaction of your users with a specific interaction or transaction. When integrating CSAT surveys with Crowd feedback widget, you offer a convenient and seamless way for users to share their experiences. Here’s a guide on how to effectively use CSAT surveys with Crowd feedback widget: Survey Design: - Simplicity: CSAT questions should be direct and concise, often centered around "How satisfied were you with [specific interaction/feature]?" - Rating Scale: Crowd CSAT uses a star scale, such as 1-5, where 1 might mean "Very Unsatisfied" and 5 means "Very Satisfied." Crowd also uses an emoji scale. Integration Points: - Relevant Interactions: Place the feedback widget at the end of significant touchpoints — after a support ticket resolution, a purchase, or the use of a new feature. - Non-intrusive Placement: Ensure the widget doesn’t disrupt the user experience. It should be easily accessible but not obstructive. Follow-up Questions: - After the initial CSAT question, provide an option for users to elaborate on their rating. Open-ended questions can yield valuable insights. Real-time Analysis: - Instant Notifications: Set up real-time alerts for low scores to address any issues promptly. - Aggregate Data: Over time, analyze the collected data to identify trends in customer satisfaction. Feedback Loop: - Immediate Response: If a user leaves a negative rating, consider giving a response that acknowledges their feedback and assures them that their concerns will be addressed. - Iterative Improvements: Use the feedback to implement improvements and iterate on your product or service. Transparency and Trust: - Privacy Assurance: Communicate how the feedback will be used and ensure user data privacy. - Opt-in/Opt-out: Give users the option to participate in the survey and ensure they can easily opt out if they choose. Integration with Other Tools: - CRM Systems: Link feedback to individual user profiles in your Customer Relationship Management system to tailor future interactions. - Support Platforms: If the feedback widget is used post-support interaction, integrate it with your support platform to get a comprehensive view of customer issues. Reporting and Visualization: - Use the feedback analysis dashboards that highlight CSAT scores over time, breaking down data by different categories, touchpoints, or demographics. Incentivization: - Consider offering users a small incentive for participating in the CSAT survey, like entry into a prize draw or a discount on their next purchase. Continuous Improvement: - Regularly review and refine your CSAT questions to ensure they stay relevant and continue to provide actionable insights. - Adjust the widget's design or placement based on user engagement metrics to increase participation. By effectively integrating CSAT surveys into your feedback widget, you provide users with an easy and intuitive way to share their experiences, leading to actionable insights that can drive improvements in your product or service. 3.

Analysis & Insights: - Periodically analyze the collected data to identify recurring issues, potential areas of improvement, or patterns indicating systemic problems. Data Privacy & Security: - Ensure that any user data collected is protected and handled according to relevant regulations. - Allow users to report bugs anonymously if they prefer.
