Product Summaries

This page provides information about the product summaries data set. This data set, in conjunction with the highlighted reviews data set, allows you to create a Review Highlights display.

When consumers read reviews on a product detail page, they are trying to develop a holistic sense of what is "good" and "bad" about the product they are interested in purchasing. A relatively straightforward item, like toilet paper, can have several hundred different features (softness, thickness, material, length, quilted, ply count, etc.) that are discussed in tens, hundreds, and sometimes thousands of reviews. The Review Highlights display provides consumers with an easy-to-use, interactive research tool that helps save time compared to reading multiple reviews.

📘

For products with more than 1000 reviews, only the most recent 1000 reviews will be incorporated into summaries.

Recommended UI/UX

The following summary are highlights of the suggested product sentiment insights UI/UX:

  1. Features should be delineated in "pros" and "cons" sections. Bazaarvoice recommend at least up to 3 pros/cons.
  2. The top Feature ( "feature":) in each list should be in the active state on load.
  3. "Feature" label is bolded. Supporting highlighted quote & author should be displayed adjacent to "feature" label.
  4. Each feature in the list should be clickable.
  5. A view all reviews associated to that "feature" should be available. Those reviews can be sourced within highlightedreviews.
  6. Adjacent to each feature should be either positiveReviewsMentioned or negativeReviewsMentioned based on whether it shows up as a pro or a con.
