Results
The Results phase is where you bring community input into CE Canvas — uploading survey responses, workshop notes, transcripts, and other engagement data so EVA can analyse it and produce insights linked to your project objectives.
From the project sidebar, navigate to Results (step 4 in the project workflow).
Results overview
The Results page has three views:
| Tab | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Project Summary | Aggregate insights across all activities — sentiment overview, top themes, representative quotes, and participation stats |
| By Activity | Results filtered to a specific engagement activity, selected from the left sidebar |
| By Stakeholder | Stakeholder coverage — how many of your planned groups have been reached so far |
Adding a result
Click + Add Result to open the result creation workflow. CE Canvas supports eight result types:
| Type | Use for |
|---|---|
| Survey Results | Upload CSV or Excel survey responses |
| Workshop Notes | Notes from workshops or meetings (manual entry) |
| Map Feedback | Location-based feedback data (CSV or JSON) |
| Post-it Scan | Scanned post-it notes or whiteboard content |
| Email Submissions | Upload CSV/Excel of email responses |
| Recording Transcript | Audio or video transcript (manual entry) |
| Social Media | Social media comments and posts (CSV or Excel) |
| Other | Any result type not covered above |
After selecting the type, the workflow guides you through uploading the file (if applicable), configuring the data structure, linking the result to an engagement activity, and providing source details. EVA then analyses the submissions and produces the insights shown in the Project Summary.
Project Summary insights
Once results are added and processed, the Project Summary tab shows:
- Participation stats — total participants and total results count
- Sentiment overview — positive, neutral, and negative breakdown across results, with a visual progress bar
- Top themes — the five most prominent themes identified across all submissions, with mention counts
- Representative quotes — three quotes selected as evidence, each linked to a theme and the source result
All these elements are generated from the submitted data by EVA’s analysis. Sections are collapsible — expand them to see the full breakdown.
By Activity
Click By Activity to view results scoped to a single engagement activity. The left sidebar lists all activities with their result counts. Select an activity to see only the results and analysis for that method.
This is useful for comparing how different engagement activities (a workshop vs. an online survey, for example) produced different insights or reached different communities.
By Stakeholder
The By Stakeholder tab shows coverage against your planned stakeholder groups — the groups added in the Who Needs to Be Heard section of the Engagement Canvas. It shows which groups have been reached by results that have been tagged to activities with stakeholder assignments.
Use this view to identify gaps before the engagement closes.
