This article is an overview of how to add usability test recordings and data and analyze them in Aurelius.

Step 2 - Analyze Your Data

Use AI Assist

AI Assist will automatically generate a summary paragraph and key themes from any note group in your project.

Use Tags

You can tag notes, highlight and tag and more. There are several places you can add tags to notes:

  1. On the note page

  2. On the tags page

You can tag notes in bulk to create groups and themes to review on the project tags page.

The project tags page will show you all the tags you're using in that project. From there you can select tags and view all their notes. The project tags page even shows you "sub-tags", which are the other tags being used within the data of your selected tags.

You can tag specific notes and quotes from a usability test with more than one tag. In this way, you can tag data as "task 1" and "pain point" to easily view this data by themes and sub-themes later.

Analysis Board

Analysis Board is like a kanban board and digital whiteboard, combined with Aurelius. You can drag and drop your notes to create a virtual affinity diagram.

  1. Select tags from your project to see all the notes tagged in individual columns

  2. Create and use themes to group notes

  3. Drag and drop notes into your themes
