What does a K Field represent in relation to other fields?

A K Field represents calculated values for reporting, which is essential within data management and analytics. This type of field is typically used to derive insights from raw data through calculations or aggregations. For example, a K Field might contain metrics such as averages, sums, or other statistics generated from raw customer data.

In the context of Medallia, K Fields are invaluable for creating reports that provide a clearer view of customer feedback and organizational performance. They take the foundational data and transform it into actionable insights, which can inform business decisions and strategy.

Other fields like raw customer data store the initial input without any transformations, alert information pertains to notifications or updates about specific events, and survey response storage simply holds the responses received from surveys. While all of these play important roles, they do not focus on the calculated insights that K Fields specifically provide for reporting purposes.
