My survey allowed respondents to select from names in a supplementary list (and add names not on the original list). It then piped to allow them to assign one or more categories to the selected names. I cannot see how to filter the nodes by one or more of these assigned categories so that I can see respondents and their connections to different node categories. To be clear the edges appear to have taken on categories and not the nodes.
I also need to deduplicate some names where spelling is different but it is the same person?
Hi @Outhentics! Yes, a downside of allowing respondents to add additional names is that you inevitably end up with some duplication due to misspellings. The easiest way to fix this is to export your survey data to Excel and then do a find and replace in that Excel file. So, suppose I have John Smith and people have entered Johnathan Smith. I would simply find and replace Johnathan Smith with John Smith. Then I would delete the additional row that I no longer needed in the Nodes worksheet. You will then have an Excel file with a Nodes tab and multiple relationship question tabs. You can upload each of them individually instead of using the generate button. So, I would first upload with the Nodes tab as the first tab and then the first relationship question as the second tab. Then I would delete that second relationship question tab and repeat for a new network with the second relationship question as the second tab and so on.
Regarding your other question, you will find that an edge attribute has been added for each column heading in the matrix. You can filter by these edge attributes (and then calculate say In Degree) in order to focus on particular types of relationships between the individuals.
