  • Language & Translation Engine
    The language and translation engine are selected during project setup.

⚠️ These cannot be changed after the project is created.

  • Selected Theme
    Choose the visual theme for your reports.

  • Report Case Limit 
    A privacy feature that hides insights based on very few responses.

 

If the limit is set to 5, any topic or filter combination based on 5 or fewer responses will be hidden, helping protect respondent anonymity.
