Sentiment Analysis

Let WorkVie AI read hundreds of open-text form answers, spot frustration in VPN or hardware feedback before it becomes repeat tickets.

Real-world scenario

Maya Chen · IT Manager at Bluewave Labs

After the monitor deployment, optional "anything else we should know?" fields fill with mixed feedback. Maya runs sentiment analysis to see if negative comments cluster on delivery delays, not monitor quality.

Before you begin

  • ITSM license enabled
  • WorkVie AI enabled in org configuration
  • Form responses with text fields to analyze

Overview

Sentiment analysis uses WorkVie AI to classify free-text form responses. It's most valuable after Deployments or high-volume services where reading every comment manually isn't realistic. VPN attestations, hardware rollouts, or any form with a "tell us more" field.

For example

External Monitor Request deployment. 58 text responses analyzed: 62% positive, 28% neutral, 10% negative. Top negative theme: "still waiting on desk delivery before I can use the monitor."

Run analysis

  1. 1

    Open Sentiment Analysis

    In ITSM, go to Analysis → Sentiment. Pick the service form or deployment you want to evaluate.

  2. 2

    Select the data source

    Choose a form tied to a service, e.g. External Monitor Request, or filter to a specific deployment cohort.

  3. 3

    Run WorkVie AI scoring

    WorkVerge classifies each text response as positive, neutral, or negative based on language tone.

  4. 4

    Review aggregates and outliers

    Scan charts for overall sentiment, then drill into individual answers that drove negative spikes.

  5. 5

    Share or export insights

    Export results for service owners or leadership, or fix the underlying process if the same complaint repeats.

Interpreting scores

  • Positive. Satisfied or appreciative language ("fast turnaround," "exactly what I needed")
  • Neutral. Factual or mixed tone ("27-inch monitor received Jun 5")
  • Negative. Frustration, blockers, or dissatisfaction ("third follow-up, still no VPN credentials")

Scores reflect language tone, not ticket SLA status, a "negative" comment might still pair with a ticket marked Resolved. Use sentiment to improve the experience; use ITSM Dashboard for operational SLAs.

Example readings

Sophie Park. VPN Access Request. Additional context

"Need access for the Phoenix repo by Monday, onboarding doc said IT would provision same day."

Likely score: Negative (time pressure + unmet expectation)

Maya's action: Check Team Requests SLA on #ITSM-1042; update onboarding doc if same-day isn't realistic.

WorkVie AI must be enabled

Sentiment requires WorkVie AI in your org. See WorkVie AI for setup. Without it, you can still read responses manually in Form Responses.
