Categorize Questions & Organize Your Analytics Workflow

Introducing Question Categories: Organize Your Analytics Workflow

As your team dives deeper into your data, the number of saved questions in Zing can grow quickly. What starts as a handful of queries can become a long, disorganized list, making it difficult to find the specific analysis you need right when you need it. You’ve asked for a better way to manage your work and we’ve listened.

Today, we’re excited to launch Question Categories, a new feature designed to bring order to your analytics and streamline your workflow.

Why We Built Categories

Our goal is to make data collaboration seamless. A key part of that is organization. When questions are logically grouped, it’s easier for everyone on the team, from data analysts to business leaders, to find, understand and build upon existing work. With Categories, you can say goodbye to endless scrolling and hello to a neatly organized workspace.

The Benefits of Categorizing Questions

  • Effortless Organization: Group related questions by project (e.g., “Q3 Marketing Campaigns”), department (“Sales Performance”), or analysis type (“User Retention Metrics”).
  • Faster Discovery: Quickly locate the insights you need without having to remember the exact name of a question.
  • Improved Team Clarity: New team members can get up to speed faster by browsing through categorized questions relevant to their role.
  • Visual Identification: Assign unique icons and colors to your categories for at-a-glance recognition.

How to Get Started with Categories

Organizing your questions is simple. You can have your first category set up in under a minute.

1. Create Your First Category

From the Questions tab, click the three-dot menu next to any question and select ‘Assign category’. If you don’t have any categories yet, you’ll be prompted to create your first one.

2. Define Your Category

Give your category a descriptive name. You can also assign a specific icon and color to make it visually distinct.

3. Assign Questions to a Category

Once a category is created, simply select it from the list to assign your question. You can assign multiple questions to the same category to group all related analyses together.

That’s it! Your question now appears neatly under its new category, decluttering your view and making your data workspace more manageable.
