MC250669 – Updated April 29, 2021: Microsoft has updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.
Microsoft is introducing a new AI based data insight type Word Cloud for open text question in Forms. The key phrases from the open text responses will be extracted and be visualized with word cloud. This can help users to get a quick view on the top text phrases people answered with.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 81840
When this will happen
Microsoft will begin rolling this mid-May (previously end of April) and expect to complete in mid-June (previously mid-May)
How this will affect your organization
The forms end user will be able get a quick view on the top text phrases people answered for the open text questions.
Note: Users may not have word cloud generated for their open text question. In such case, it’s because the service has not found any meaningful results to show at this point, especially when the total number of responses is small. Additional results should generate word cloud.
What you need to do to prepare
You may consider updating your training and documentation as appropriate.
