Analysing Card Use
Once you have import one or more card use sessions, e.g. from Miro, Then to try an analysis...
In cardographer, in the Analyses tab,
Create an analysis (scroll down to "+ New Analysis"), and name it
With the analysis, select its session tab,
Select the session you just imported and "Save" the analysis (at the bottom). Note, if you saved the state of board several times then you should see each distinct save state as a separate option, with the date/time it was saved.
Note, you can add as many sessions to an Analysis as you want, and they will all be included in the analysis.
In Cardographer, in an Analysis select its "Graph" tab; you should see a basic visualisation of cards (circles, labelled with their name), with lines between cards that appear together
Click the "burger" menu at the right to see a detail panel, with - details of the currently selected card (if any) - A list of Miro frame titles, with the option to "Colour by Card Category", "Colour by X axis", "Colour by Y axis" or "Ignore" (which hides those cards)
To export card use data for external analysis, in the Analysis selects its "Export" tab,
To get the most information, select type "Card Use", check "separate boards" and "include details" and then "Export CSV". From the "id" row you should see a session GUID but also the frame title. In each cell value you should the text of any shape(s) that the card was placed in (this is a JSON value). (As of 2022-12-22 there seems to be a bug in picking up the shape text; only the frame title is shown)
Note,
- if you do not check "separate boards" then each column will be one Miro session, even if it had several frames in it
- if you do not check "include details" then each value will just count the number of times that card was used in that session/frame
To export only information about card co-occurence (e.g. for a graph analysis) select export type "Card adjacency", then "Export CSV". This will give a matrix where the rows and columns are cards and the cell values are the number of times the two cards appear in the same session/frame.
See cardographer-jupyter for some initial examples of using Jupyter notebook to help with analysing card use data exported from cardographer.
